Details: 2023 release. Jag Panzer is not only one of the most important US heavy metal bands, but also one of the first. The combo was formed in Colorado in 1981 and released their debut album ("Ample Destruction") only three years later, in 1984. Today, almost 40 years later, that disc, which already presented the band's very own style, is considered a milestone of American heavy metal and is often even called a power metal trailblazer. Over the decades, both heavy metal and Jag Panzer experienced ups and downs, but as we all know: Heavy Metal will never die!... and Jag Panzer are still active, and will release a glorious comeback album in 2023 with "The Hallowed", 6 years after "The Deviant Chord".
