How many heavy metal bands begin their albums with their fast songs? All of them, right? In fact, traditional metal bands  often rely on speed to hide their unoriginality. Well, forget that, kids,  because the Jag Panzer meisters throw that thinking out the window! The  first song is mid-paced. The second song is mid-paced. The faster parts do  not arrive until the fifth song. Why is this? Because they don&#8217;t have  anything to hide!! This band shows that: (1) the best songs are the ones  that do not cover up weaknesses and (2) the best songs are the ones that try  something new. Some people think that all traditional metal bands are  interested in copying Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Jag Panzer is its own  entity. The vocals are great, as usual, the riffing unique yet, traditional;  plenty of soloing, plenty of rhythm and beat. One ought to be proud of this band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This band has some nerve!! How many heavy metal bands begin their albums with their fast songs?
