PANZERBALLETT - ÜBERCODE OEUVRE

  • panzerballett: übercode oeuvre
        (2025, cd, Germany, hcd-pb01)
Jan Zehrfeld's Panzerballett band did it again.

There are only a few bands that have such a distinctive sound that you recognise them after three seconds (which is the same amount of time needed to turn your head to where the music is coming from).
Panzerballett is such a band.
And even more important than the recognisability is the amazing quality.
Technically sophisticated metal-jazz; quirky rhythms with beautiful melodies (spiced with lots of amusing and funny sidesteps).
My cup of tea.

Jan Zehrfeld's guitar playing had me listening in awe, but also definitely worth mentioning is the great sax playing by Florian Fennes and by Georg Gratzer, plus the incredible selection of drummers that participated on the different pieces: Virgil Donati, Marco Minnemann, Sebastian Lanser, Morgan Agren, and Anika Nilles !

Add Joe Doblhofer and Rafael Trujillo as guests guitar soloists, plus Andromeda Anarchia and Conny Kreitmeier donig th vocals on 'Ode To Joy', and you know that "Übercode OEuvre" is something you'll need to check out.
I did, and I wasn't disappointed. Quite the opposite, actually.

Highly recommended !
