Two and a half years after their infamous debut, Send Them All To Hell, heavy metal saviours Pänzer (GER) have returned to the scene. Fatal Command, the new offering, will be released on October 6th via Nuclear Blast. To get a first impression of Pänzer (GER)'s new sound, check out the track "Satan's Hollow", here.







"We pay tribute to our early days and the era of NWOBHM," comments frontman Schmier. "The new songs are faster, heavier, catchy and even more melodic, without being commercial at all. We wanna keep the old and original metal spirit alive."

After the departure of Herman Frank (Accept), Pänzer (GER) recruited Pontus Norgren of HammerFall to aid their warfare, as well as V.O. Pulver (Gurd, Poltergeist) on guitar, who already helped out for their latest live shows and now became a full-time member.

"After producing the debut with Pänzer (GER), the guys asked me to help them out live to provide the double axe-attack on stage," remembers V.O. Pulver. "Of course I took the chance to rock out with my buddies. And when the opportunity came up to join them permanently, I didn't hesitate to accept and now I can't wait to play the sound of my youth!" Also Pontus was just as excited to join the heavy metal war machine: "It was not a hard decision when I got asked to join Pänzer (GER), it was a straight YES! To be able to create music with good friends is the most important thing in my world and in this band, having fun when making music, is number one."
