JAG PANZER To Release Seven-Inch Single

May 23, 2005

Colorado's JAG PANZER and Century Media Records will release a strictly limited seven-inch single on black vinyl (500 copies only!) to coincide with JAG PANZER appearance on this year's Band Your Head festival (June 24-25 in Balingen, Germany).

For this collector's item, the band recorded a cover version of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", originally by GORDON LIGHTFOOT. The b-side will feature "The Mission (1943)" from their current album "Casting the Stones".

Guitarist Mark Briody explains the unique choice for a cover version:

"I've always loved dramatic, epic music. Songs like 'Heaven and Hell' or 'Beyond the Realms of Death' quickly became favorites of mine. But my introduction to this type of song wasn't even a heavy metal song. The song that first caught my attention was a dark tragic tale of a shipwreck in the Great Lakes. The song was called 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' and it retold the true story of the sinking of the freighter ship Edmund Fitzgerald. I remember taking my small transistor radio to bed and listening to the radio all night just to hear this song."
