| Tuesday, July 26, 2011 - Jag Panzer Disband | After more than three decades of delivering heavy metal to the masses, Colorado power metallers Jag Panzer have decided to call it quits.
"We are proud of every album we released and the support we've received from the heavy metal community," states guitarist and founder Mark Briody. " We've played so many places around the world and enjoyed every minute of it but the time has come where we just cannot move forward as a band."
Guitarist Christian Lasegue left the band last month to pursue his degree full time.
"Christian did an amazing job on 'The Scourge Of The Light' and it was a pleasure working with him," continues Briody. "We wished Christian well but kept this quiet until we found a replacement."
Drummer Rikard Stjernquist says, "Several guitar players applied for the job. It was a pleasant surprise to see so many young guitarists with advanced chops. One player, 19-year-old Jake Dreyer, submitted videos of him nailing solos from both Chris Broderick and Christian Lasegue. We were ready to welcome Jake into the band, but, unfortunately, that will not happen. There is no doubt in any of our minds that Jake will go on to be a household name in his own right."
Bassist John Tetley adds a final statement:" In closing, we'd like to send out a huge heartfelt THANK YOU to metal fans throughout the world. You all rule!"

| Monday, January 14, 2008 - News from Jag Panzer | A Jag Panzer update from Mark Briody:
Hello everyone,
First of all - A HUGE congratulations to Chris Broderick for his new gig with Megadeth. Chris is a worldclass talent and the hardest worker I've ever met. He's like a brother to me and I'm excited for him to get this opportunity. Myself, and everyone else in the band, not only support Chris's decision, we're excited for him.
We (Jag Panzer) have brought Chris Lasegue back to play guitar. Chris tore it up on 'Chain of Command' and his chops are light years better then they were back then.
So why the total silence from Jag Panzer over the past year? Frankly, I'm upset about getting the rug pulled out from me on the live album. We have a budget for the live album. A tiny budget. I took out a spreadsheet and figured that this budget would allow us to rent a van and drive to Montreal to record the live album. We'd have to supply the recording equipment ourselves and mix the live album ourselves. Yes, the budget is that small.
We were planning on recording the show for a live DVD as well. Releasing this live DVD would have offset our additional costs we incurred on the live album. But I never saw the DVD release paperwork from the label. Gas prices have gotten so high that our budget wouldn't even cover expenses one way to Montreal or anywhere else we'd need to go for a live album.
So right now we're stuck. We're contractually obligated to do a live album, but there funds to do it just aren't adequete. People have suggested we record the KIT show. That's a great idea. But I checked on the price of a mobile truck and it's double the budget. Arghhh!!!
My solution - we're moving forward with new material after we get back from Germany. I'm hoping things can get sorted out with the live album, but I have to move forward. I'm not angry with Century Media, I know they are trying to run a business. But something has to give.
So look for a new single in the months after KIT.

| Sunday, August 20, 2006 - News from Jag Panzer | Jag Panzer guitarist Mark Briody has issued the following update regarding the band's long-awaited live CD/DVD release:
"Things are progressing VERY well in preparing for the live album. Lots of help from Century Media and an A+ concert promoter I'll name when the details are finalized. I will say this: No one has EVER seen a Jag Panzer show like this one. Every show we've done in the past years has been done with shoestring budgets and minimal gear (whatever we could check on a plane). This will be a full-on headlining show â?" all your favorite PANZER tunes, special merch, tons of gear and other surprises."
In other news, Jag Panzer releases will figure prominently in Century Media's yearly "10-Year Reissues" series. Since 2007 is the 10-year anniversary of "The Fourth Judgement", look for a "very cool new version" of that album next year. Plans include a new cover, remaster, inclusion of the original demo tracks, liner notes and photos.
