PANZER – Signs With Nuclear Blast

The new German supergroup is comprised of vocalist & bass-player Schmier, best known as fronter for Destruction, guitarist Herman Frank (Accept), as well as drummer Stefan Schwarzmann (Accept, Ex-Running Wild). “If you are a METALHEAD you will love PANZER, I am 100% sure about it,” vows Schmier.

To celebrate the nearing end of the year with a killer release, the first Panzer onslaught entitled “Send Them All To Hell” will roll down onto European soil on November 28th, 2014.

Commented vocalist Schmier: “When Stefan Schwarzmann, drummer of Accept and an old friend came to me with the idea of putting a band together, I first thought he tried to fool me… hahaha! But the idea sounded amazing from the beginning and after the first meeting with Herman Frank, the German guitar legend, that everybody knows from his work with Accept and Victory and Stefan, we realized really fast, that this team could really kick some serious ass together. And Instead of talking too long about it, we started writing songs right away and within some weeks had half of the album recorded and it sounded wicked! We don t wanna re-invent the metal-wheel. We play the music we love, easy as that and it’s great fun cause we all dig this shit since we are teenagers!”

Naming a band after fierce war machinery might seem a bit off for some, but if you take a look at the lyrics, this is picture perfect. The lyrics provoke, criticize, and are part of the art. “My lyrics criticize… I don’t pray,” adds Schmier. Watch trailer HERE.
