Formed when Accept drummer Stefan Schwarzmann was looking for something to do between touring and recording with accept, got together with Accept guitarist Herman Frank with the idea to come up with a metal trio. They then decided to reach out to thrash metal legend Schmier, vocalist and bassist of Destruction. At first Schmier thought they were joking but when he thought of the idea of their compined lineage and talent that is project would be a no brianer. Thus The German PANZER was born.
The three of them got together and started writing straight away and end result “Send Them All To Hell” is a masterpiece. The bands sound definitely sounds like you would expect it to. Take the thrash metal style of Destruction and the classic metal sensibilities of Accept and just smash them together and that’s exactly what this album sounds like.
Schmier sings this album with his trade mark shriek and and guitar and drums are to tight on this album they all work perfect together. The album is hard, fast and unrelenting from beginning to end. The German super ground seemed to set out to really make a huge impact with this project and they definitely have
Stand out tracks on this album include the title track “Send Them All To Hell”, The opening track “Death Knell”, The kind of goofy lyrically “Mr No Brain” and the closing track “Bleed For Your Sins”
The band has really set the bar high for themselves with this as a debut album. This album is huge and it does not disappoint at any stage.
This album is one that all metal fans will want to check out and if you’re a Destruction fan or a Accept fan this one is a must own
“Send Them All To Hell” is available November 28
