Having dealt the initial blow with their promising debut EP last year, Colorado\u2019s Jag Panzer return for the kill with this full-length album.<\/p>\n

Since they recorded the Tyrants<\/em> EP the band have definitely matured, musically helped a lot by the addition of a second guitarist, Joey Taffola. Jag Panzer resist the total thrash approach and opt for the more complex Iron Maiden \/ Judas Priest like class metal with twin-cranking guitars and wide ranging powerhouse vocals in the Bruce Dickinson mould.<\/p>\n

Highlights of the nine tracks are \u2018Harder Than Steel\u2019, \u2018Cardiac Arrest\u2019, \u2018Reign Of The Tyrants\u2019 and the high adrenaline rocker, \u2018Generally Hostile\u2019. However, the best is saved for last in the shape of \u2018The Crucifix\u2019, a metallic epic that gradually builds up from its Angel choir-type intro to a menacing doom laden assault on the eardrums.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of low points; the opening tracks \u2018Licensed To Kill\u2019 and \u2018Warfare\u2019 are not as convincing as they should be. But on the whole, Ample Destruction<\/em> succeeds in living up to its name and as a result the next Jag Panzer album should be nothing short of a classic.<\/p>\n
