JAG PANZER Release First New Album In Six Years

JAG PANZER Release First New Album In Six Years

Six years of waiting are over! Today, Colorado, USA five-piece JAG PANZER have released their new conceptual studio album, »The Hallowed« and fans can finally listen to record which has been highly lauded by specialised press worldwide. Continuing their DIY attidude, the group’s own Mark Briody (guitars) has created yet another lyric video in celebration of its launch – this time for a track called ‘Dark Descent.’

Briody says: “‘Dark Descent’ can be interpreted as literal or metaphoric. In this part of the storyline, the group are descending down a cliff amongst the old city ruins. The group are also descending towards the final outcome of the story. Although at first glance it seems like a basic heavy metal song, those who breakdown the music will see that it is one of the most musically complex songs on the album.“

»The Hallowed« is a quite different album compared to JAG PANZER‘s back catalogue works since it follows the conceptual storyline of the band’s comic book of the same title which came out in late 2022. Bass and drum tracks were recorded at Sonic Phish Productions in Arizona and engineered by revered drummer Ken Mary (ALICE COOPER, FIFTH ANGEL, FLOTSAM & JETSAM), with additional recording for guitars and vocals taking place at SteamPunk Audio Labs (Arizona) and Hound House Studios in Colorado. Longtime engineering guru and extended JAG PANZER family member Jim Morris mixed the record at the famous Morrisound Studios in Florida while Maor Appelbaum (FAITH NO MORE, HALFORD, CANDLEMASS, ARMORED SAINT) added his mastering magic to the album. The staggering album cover artwork was crafted by Dusan Markovic (ANGEL WITCH, VIRGIN STEELE) before longtime underground metal artist Travis Smith (MEGADETH, OPETH, OVERKILL) was brought in to handle the layout of »The Hallowed,« finalizing an amazing team of artists for the new album.

The album is available in the following formats:

– CD-digipak
– CD-jewelcase
– 2LP (white/blue; transparent/blue; blue/white; white/black)
– digital
