JAG PANZER Release First Studio Album In Six Years "The Hallowed"
Today marks the official release of The Hallowed, the long-awaited new conceptual studio album from Colorado heavy metal collective JAG PANZER! In celebration of the record’s release, guitarist Mark Briody has created yet another lyric video, this time for the track “Dark Descent.” Briody says, "'Dark Descent' can be interpreted as literal or metaphoric. In this part of the storyline, the group is descending a cliff amongst the old city ruins. The group is also descending towards the final outcome of the story. Although at first glance it seems like a basic heavy metal song, those who break down the music will see that it is one of the most musically complex songs on the album."

The Hallowed is quite a different album compared to JAG PANZER's back catalog works as it follows the conceptual storyline of the band’s comic book of the same title which came out in late 2022. 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 & 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.
