Dissident Alliance

This album has been cited by many Jag Panzer fans and Metal fans in general as one of the greatest disappointments in music history, and rightfully so.

It’s still unimaginable that one of the best metal bands of all time could produce such a worthless piece of crap. Although the foundation for a few good songs must have been there, as proven by the reworkings of “Edge Of Blindness”, “Spirit Suicide”, “The Church” and “Forsaken Child” (although the last one ended up a totally different song) for the “Decade Of The Nail-Spiked Bat” compilation, it was just by no means visible. While the remakes on “Decade…” don’t have to hide behind all the classics, the originals are just plain dull.

And even if there’s a good part now and then (“The Clown” is actually quite a good song - although the verses are little reminiscent of “Three Little Pigs”), the whole thing is ruined by the production (especially the guitars sound terrible) and, above all, Daniel Conca’s voice.

Luckily Jag Panzer would return to form 3 years later on their glorious comeback “The Fourth Judgement”.
