It is also what the guys on stage say their musical style is. Let me introduce to you: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.panzerballett.de\" target=\"_blank\">Panzerballett<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly enough the head-bangers are not the only distinct group that the audience is composed of. There are also those of us who are apparently enjoying the musical fireworks in a more introverted way and who start clapping after each solo, as etiquette dictates. Even without hearing the music, just by looking at the audience, you can tell that <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Panzerballett\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia <\/a>is absolutely right by calling their music Jazz-Metal. But then of course you should hear their music!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H7kDgnlU-u0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Seemingly effortless they pump monstrous, rhythmically complex metal and jazz inspired themes, riffs and solos into the auditorium. What can I say: THEY ROCK! They&#8217;ve almost made me a heavy metal convert. And the best thing: they ask you to try this at home. From<a href=\"http:\/\/www.panzerballett.de\/merch.html\" target=\"_blank\"> the shop on their website<\/a> you can get transcriptions (thanks Waschtl for pointing this out to me ;) ), T-Shirts and also their new album <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B008HC98SS\" target=\"_blank\">CD Tank Goodness<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I am glad they played at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kulturzentrum-hof.at\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kulturzentrum Hof<\/a> in Linz and that I had a chance to be at their concert. And of course I got myself a copy of their brand new album.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.chschmid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-25-22.43.11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-738 alignnone\" title=\"2012-10-25 22.43.11\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.chschmid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-25-22.43.11-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.chschmid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-25-22.43.11-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.chschmid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-25-22.43.11-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.chschmid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-10-25-22.43.11.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Wellness-Death-Jazz&#8221; is printed in large letters across the T-shirts of some loyal fans who are head-banging right next to me.
