US heavy metal veterans Jag Panzer remain busy: Although their latest success album “The Hallowed” came out about half a year ago, followed by a string of live dates in support of the concept opus, the band kept working on other projects secretly.
Today the outfit are pleased to announce that coloured 180-gram vinyl re-issues of their demanded back catalogue albums “The Fourth Judgement” [1997], “Thane to the Throne” [2000] and “Mechanized Warfare” [2001] will be released on January 26th, 2024, through Atomic Fire Records. All three records got a full dynamic range mastering treatment by Bart Gabriel, while “Thane to the Throne” even comes with exlusive new artwork by Dusan Markovic (“The Hallowed”).
Pre-order your copies now, here.
• “The Fourth Judgement” [transparent/black marbled vinyl; limited to 500 copies]
• “Thane to the Throne” [yellow/black marbled vinyl; limited to 500 copies]
• “Mechanized Warfare” [orange/black marbled vinyl; limited to 500 copies]
Vocalist Harry “The Tyrant” Conklin recalls: “‘The Fourth Judgement’ was a joyous return to my brothers. The birth of the now highly recognized ‘Black’ and ‘Tyranny’. Who knew ‘Mechanized Warfare’ would resound so triumphantly in the ears of many? We were just putting our souls out there. ‘Thane to the Throne’ was a lot of hard work that paid off in the end. Something that has infinite possibilities still to this day”.
Guitarist Mark Briody adds: “I am very excited for ‘The Fourth Judgement’, ‘Mechanized Warfare’ and ‘Thane to the Throne’ to be released on Atomic Fire Records. The label did a fantastic job with ‘The Hallowed’ and I’m very happy that some of our classic catalogue will get the same treatment”.

What came into being in 1981 in Colorado Springs and, over four decades later, has lost none of their rebellion and power. Inspired by the onslaught of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, Mark Briody and his comrades quickly became one of the most intriguing US power metal acts, releasing a glut of successful studio albums, including their debut album “Ample Destruction” (1984), “The Fourth Judgement” (1997), “Thane to the Throne” (2000), “The Scourge of the Light” (2011), and their latest effort, “The Deviant Chord” (2017). After facing several lineup changes and a hiatus, Jag Panzer are still holding sway as their forthcoming album “The Hallowed” proves.
