Veteran US heavy metallers, JAG PANZER, will release their new studio album, The Hallowed, on June 23rd through Atomic Fire Records, today unveiling the record’s first single and preorders.

Containing ten songs, The Hallowed is quite a different album compared to the band’s back catalog. It follows the conceptual storyline of the band’s comic book of the same title which came out in late 2022.

Elaborates the band on the record’s first single, “‘Onward We Toil’ tells the story of the people and animals in the concept pushing through adversity to reach their goal of finding The Hallowed. The creatures known as ‘The Jaw’ can be heard in the beginning of the song and the epic chorus illustrates the team working together as one.”

Bass and drum tracks for The Hallowed were recorded at Sonic Phish Productions in Arizona and engineered by revered drummer Ken Mary (Alice Cooper, Fifth Angel, Flotsam And Jetsam), with additional recording for guitars and vocals taking place at SteamPunk Audio Labs in 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 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 Hallowed will be available in the following formats: digipak CD, jewelcase CD, 2xLP (White/Blue; Transparent/Blue; Blue/White; White/Black), and digitally.

What came into being in 1981 in Colorado Springs has lost nothing of its rebellion and power, not even over four decades later. Being 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 some successful studio albums, including their 1984 debut album Ample Destruction, The Fourth Judgement (1997), Thane To The Throne (2000), The Scourge Of The Light (2011), and 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.

JAG PANZER:

Harry Conklin – vocals

Mark Briody – guitars

Ken Rodarte – guitars

John Tetley – bass

Rikard Stjernquist – drums
