Bio
.. .. .... An innovative, hard 'n' heady mixture of jazz, funk and metal, crossing complex polyrhythms with metal guitar riffing, funky grooves and jazz improvisation. .. .. In den Eigenkompositionen werden Jazz, Funk und Metal auf kunstvolle, innovative Weise miteinander fusioniert. Nach dem Motto "Warum einfach, wenn es auch schwer geht?" werden filigran ineinander verzahnte Funk-Grooves mit brachial harten, rhythmisch komplexen Riffs und Jazzimprovisationen kombiniert: Headbangen mit Köpfchen. .. .. .. “Very well done. Normally, I don't like people re-arranging my father's music but this was a pleasant surprise.” .. Dweezil Zappa .. .. .. "What you are doing is truly innovative and refreshing, not to say ingenious." .. Mattias IA Eklundh .. .. .. "Hart Genossen von ABBA bis Zappa -- my favourite record 2009." .. Baard Torstensen, Clawfinger .. .. .. "Despite its overall intensity and throbbing rock rhythms, Starke Stücke is an album that could only have been made by a group knowledgeable of the jazz tradition. While certainly not for the faint-at-heart, Jan Zehrfeld's Panzerballett is a group that, like Lost Tribe before it, brings new meaning to the term fusion." .. All About Jazz .. .. .. "The music on offer is an unusual and often complex combination of metal and jazz. Once over the initial unfamiliarity it’s easy to marvel over the band's excellent and innovative musicianship." .. rockprog.com .. .. .. "Once you grab a listen to Panzerballet, you'll no doubt agree that this band is ready to be a force on the instrumental progressive rock scene. Expect big things from this German ensemble in the very near future." .. seaoftranquility.com .. .. .. "Selten hat man (nach Zappa) eine so unfassbar abgedrehte, virtuose, hemmungslose, anspruchsvolle Band gehört." .. Gitarre & Bass .. .. .. "Ein uneingeschränkt empfehlenswerter Genuss. »Verkrasste« Musik für Musiker, aber eben auch für die Tanzfläche. [...] Wenn doch 'junger Jazz' immer so furcht-, scheuklappenlos, intelligent und mitreißend wäre. Zieht euch also warm an." .. drums & percussion .. .. .. "Die Rammstein des Jazz." .. Die Zeit .. .. .. "Bizarre Intelligenz, bissig aufbrausender Humor." .. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung .. .. .. "Wahnsinn! Seit Freaky Fukin Weirdoz kommt endlich mal wieder cooler, unangepasster Sound aus der Landeshauptstadt! Vielen Dank dafür!" .. Wolfram Kellner, J.B.O.

... hacking with a white-hot flail into grandma's freshly-baked ruebli-cake. .. .. ... wie mit einem weißglühenden Morgenstern in Ommas frischgabackene Rüblitorte.
