Jag Panzer  

This Colorado band first came into prominence with the release of their epic Ample Destruction in 1984, simply an all-time classic and regarded as one of the best pure power metal albums of the decade. But the next several years were not kind to the band, as they struggled with lineup changes and direction shifts, recording (but not releasing) the more Queensryche/ Warlord-inspired Chain Of Command in 1988 followed by the more modern-ish Dissident Alliance in 1994. By the late nineties the band was almost forgotten and nearly done, but the Destruction-era lineup reunited and with the 1997 release of The Fourth Judgement, Jag Panzer was back, and better than ever. Since then a string of excellent albums have been released, forever defining the band as one of the stalwarts of classy American power metal. The lost Chain Of Command, too, finally got an official release in 2004. Their final release was Scourge Of The Light, released in early 2011, as they announced their breakup in July, ending a very successful career. As of this writing, vocalist Harry "Tyrant" Conklin is continuing his work in Satan's Host, a band he first fronted back in the 80's.
