PÄNZER: Unveil video of title song "Fatal Command"
September 28, 2017
Heavy metal saviors PÄNZER will unleash their sophomore record entitled Fatal Command on October 6th, 2017 through Nuclear Blast Records and today, the band is unveiling their first official music video for their new album. The video for the title track "Fatal Command" was shot by Kai Swillus (Buntmetall) at the famous Swiss Club, Z7.
Schmier comments on the video:
"We wanted to have a clip that fits with the bands sound, something that catches the energy of PÄNZER. No gimmicks - just a big stage and the look behind the curtain. The Z7 club in Switzerland is something like a home base for many touring bands, we wanted to pay tribute to our fave living-room and the people that work there."

Speaking about the song "Fatal Command", Schmier explains:
"As the album delivers a very pure musical direction, we have tried to maintain and transport that feeling also into the video clip. Metal does not need much frills - the song 'Fatal Command' stands for what PÄNZER is all about: RELENTLESS BEATS, POSSESSIVE HOOK-LINES & MELODIC TWIN GUITAR ATTACKS!"

"With Fatal Command, we pay tribute to our early days and the era of NWOBHM," Schmier commented. "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."
Fatal Command lives and breathes heavy metal like a few other albums of recent years do. It is a monolith of a record on which the tempestuous music, the provocative artwork and Schmier's social-criticism come together under a metallic and indestructible hide, courtesy of Little Creek Studio in Basel, Switzerland.
One thing, however, is setting Fatal Command apart from the perfect heavy metal record: "There's no ballad! But as the singer, I wanted to spare mankind," he laughs. Consequently, PÄNZER prefer to hit the throttle and concentrate on kicking as much ass as possible. Fatal Command proudly wears the insignia that so many current bands are lacking, a bold statement against wimps and posers. PÄNZER swear a solemn oath on Fatal Command: They will be true to heavy metal in good as well as in bad times, in sickness and in health. They will love it and honour it all the days of their lives until death does them part. Amen!
After the departure of Herman Frank (ACCEPT), PÄNZER recruited Pontus Norgren of HAMMERFALL to aid their warfare, as well as V.O. Pulver (G.U.R.D., POLTERGEIST) on guitar, who already helped out for their latest live shows and now became a full-time member of PÄNZER. "After producing the debut with PANZER, 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, 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."
