Colorado based Jag Panzer have produced some great metal over there career, and continue to do so on their offering, Mechanized Warfare. This is a must buy for any fan of the band or of metal. Conklin again delivers with great vocals, and some of the guitar work on this album is unmatched by anything out today. The album starts out with Take to the Sky, a building intro leads to a great song, highlighting by a floating solo that shreds all over the place. The next song is the fast paced Frozen in Fear, very well done song, very well played by all members of the band. The next song Unworthy is my personal favourite on the album. The melodic intro leads to one hell of a song. The song has its heavy and melodic moments, and is a very strong offering. The Silent is a nice song that crushes along, again great guitar work. The Scarlet Letter is another song with some crunch to it that. Choir of Tears has a great intro, and is one hell of a song in it’s own right. I didn’t really like Cold is the Blade on the first listen, but the melodic section in the middle with the violin and guitar has become one of my favourite parts of the album, and it leads to a great solo. Hidden in My Eyes is a good song, some of the vocal work reminds me of Midcrime- era Queensrcyhe, which is not a bad thing. Power Surge is also a definite highlight of the album. This song chugs along, and is one of the heaviest of the album, and its about metal so it kicks ass! Conklin also screeches on this song which is pretty cool, this song definitely highlights his range and talent as a vocalist. The album ends with a very melodic song, All Things Removed. All in all, this is a great album. There is not a piece of filler on this album, and every song is easily a classic. Very well done vocal work and incredible guitar work from both guitarists. The rest of the rhythm section was incredibly great as well. Even if you don’t like real power metal go check out this album. It will not disappoint.
