│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A little help from my friends. The German tank ║ │
│║ platoon maintains its course towards another war ║ │
│║ zone, heading forward in their thick plated ║ │
│║ armored behemoth without anything to stand in ║ │
│║ their way. Not the first time that the PANZER ║ │
│║ project is mentioned, as it was out of the yard ║ │
│║ with its debut memorandum to the world back in ║ │
│║ 2014 with ôSend Them All To Hellö. A bunch of ║ │
│║ veterans, conjured for the sake of old school ║ │
│║ Heavy Metal, stuff that their personal careers, ║ │
│║ each to his own band, grew up on. With the ║ │
│║ departure of ex-ACCEPTÆs Herman Frank for the ║ │
│║ purpose of focusing on his own solo act, PANZER, ║ │
│║ commanded by DESTRUCTIONÆs Schmier and ex-ACCEPT ║ │
│║ / ex-RUNNING WILD, Stefan Schwarzmann, gained ║ │
│║ two new full time members, close friends and ║ │
│║ colleagues, Pontus Norgren, lead guitarist at ║ │
│║ HAMMERFALL, and producer / musician, V.O. Pulver ║ │
│║ of the recently awakened Thrashers, POLTERGEIST. ║ │
│║ All that was left was to begin another campaign, ║ │
│║ and it did actually, with the inception of the ║ │
│║ sophomore "Fatal Command", fired once more by ║ │
│║ Nuclear Blast Records. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Traditional Metal without nonsense or trends, ║ │
│║ straight up from the heart, a clear cause effect ║ │
│║ of a longtime admiration and devotion, the true ║ │
│║ force of Teutonic Metal allied by a British ║ │
│║ influence. Basically, this is PANZERÆs identity ║ │
│║ within "Fatal Command". I remember that when I ║ │
│║ first heard about the band, and listening to ║ │
│║ their debut, I thought to myself that it was ║ │
│║ SchmierÆs new version of his old sideshow ║ │
│║ HEADHUNTER, a wolf in another wolfÆs clothing ║ │
│║ sort of speak. Nonetheless, and it is a clear- ║ │
│║ cut throughout "Fatal Command", the musical ║ │
│║ direction is of less in the Speed Metal, with a ║ │
│║ few Thrash elements, but more of an ACCEPT meets ║ │
│║ JUDAS PRIEST pact, song versus riff oriented ║ │
│║ material, melodic natured Heavy Metal with an ║ │
│║ energetic vibe and twin guitar action, set to ║ │
│║ destroy with potential anthems and heavyweight, ║ │
│║ easy living riffages, lasing thundering solos. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The songwriting on display is of the 80s ║ │
│║ heritage but with twists of modernity to give a ║ │
│║ bit more punch. The song arrangements are ║ │
│║ somewhat diverse, enabling showcases of great ║ │
│║ musicianship and lyrical expertise treading ║ │
│║ politics. ôAfflictedö asserted itself as the ║ │
│║ albumÆs heaviest number, a mixed beat crusher, ║ │
│║ down and dirty mid temp of the ACCEPT ║ │
│║ orientation with a pure emphasis of amazing solo ║ │
│║ efforts. No doubt that Schmier did one of his ║ │
│║ best vocal works to date on this one. ôPromised ║ │
│║ Landö is a reserve that could have easily landed ║ │
│║ as a HEADHUNTER track, a Speed Metal devastation ║ │
│║ with an electrifying 80s Metal hype, portraying ║ │
│║ lead guitar madness along with cataclysmic twin ║ │
│║ guitar harmonies of the British kind. ôSatan's ║ │
│║ Hollowö opens with a charge of JUDAS PRIEST riff ║ │
│║ infection along with the undying arts of catchy ║ │
│║ NWOBHM melodies. ôThe Decline (àAnd the ║ │
│║ Downfall)ö soaked with heaviness, dealing with ║ │
│║ what is probably happening in the USA and the ║ │
│║ change of stage of affairs, continuing the 80s ║ │
│║ Metal legacy with great honors. Decline of the ║ │
│║ western civilization anyone? Also recommended: ║ │
│║ ôI'll Bring You the Nightö, ôBleeding Alliesö ║ │
│║ and ôWe Can Not Be Silencedö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I think that the change in personnel in the ║ │
│║ PANZER ranks had some effect on the direction ║ │
│║ that this band has been leading. Less of the ║ │
│║ ACCEPT barrage and more into melodious lines. ║ │
│║ Nonetheless, "Fatal Command" conserved the same ║ │
│║ level as the debut, keeping the bandÆs high end ║ │
│║ performance and quality songwriting intact ║ │
│║ without looking up or down. ║ │
