│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) ║ │
│║ remains one of my favorite eras of Hard Rock and ║ │
│║ Heavy Metal. Beyond the bands that became ║ │
│║ breakouts: SAXON, IRON MAIDEN, DEF LEPPARD û you ║ │
│║ have a number of acts who created some killer ║ │
│║ albums that many musicians and fans hold in high ║ │
│║ regard: ANGEL WITCH, SATAN, TYGERS OF PAN TANG, ║ │
│║ and an album released in 1983, called ôPower ║ │
│║ Gamesö by the act IÆm currently reviewing, ║ │
│║ JAGUAR. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In 2014, only guitarist Garry Pepperd remains ║ │
│║ from the old days, but since reactivating the ║ │
│║ band in 1998, vocalist Jamie Manton has been a ║ │
│║ mainstay for 16 years, with the latest addition ║ │
│║ being drummer Nathan Cox in 2011. Using the ║ │
│║ digital music medium to release new music, the ║ │
│║ latest studio album, ôMetal Xö, contains 11 ║ │
│║ songs that prove that, even as the quartet gets ║ │
│║ older, they still know how to put a little pep ║ │
│║ in their step and perform in that tradition of ║ │
│║ blazing, heads down Heavy Metal. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The first song, ôWarts & Allö, storms out of the ║ │
│║ gates, Nathan laying down some serious fill work ║ │
│║ and energetic double bass, as GarryÆs ║ │
│║ accelerated riffing and JamieÆs upper register ║ │
│║ vocal action brings to mind their younger years, ║ │
│║ along with the skilled power of RIOT. An ║ │
│║ ironically titled ô3 Minute Songö is actually 5 ║ │
│║ minutes, containing a smoldering lead break and ║ │
│║ another engaging hook that reminded me of older ║ │
│║ TWISTED SISTER, during their ôUnder the Bladeö ║ │
│║ days; some impactful harmonies during the bridge ║ │
│║ and chorus bring this down as one of JAGUARÆs ║ │
│║ highlights. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The band also can lay down some mid-tempo muscle ║ │
│║ beyond their revved up classic Heavy Metal û ║ │
│║ check ôOut of Timeö in this department. Overall ║ │
│║ I was very surprised that most of this material ║ │
│║ is up tempo, guitar hero based, and will bring ║ │
│║ back a lot of memories for people who can ║ │
│║ remember when RAVEN and ACCEPT were seen as ║ │
│║ leaders of their day. Even the production values ║ │
│║ are primitive, giving the musicians an in your ║ │
│║ face snare snap, guitar crunch, and as natural a ║ │
│║ bass as you could hope for. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Anyone who says Heavy Metal is dead û give them ║ │
│║ ôMetal Xö. JAGUAR is doing just fine creating ║ │
│║ relevant material today and not content on ║ │
│║ living purely on past adulation and ║ │
│║ accomplishments. ║ │
