• Track Listing

The band from Bristol is now back with their newest effort called "Metal X" and they have teamed up with BLACK SABBATH/JUDAS PRIEST engineer & producer Mike Exeter for this recording. I was not expecting such a strong comeback from Jaguar to be honest; it have been more than ten years since the UK band's latest CD and I was not even waiting for a new album, huh. Still, the Brits decided to record brand new songs (except for one track maybe) and the result is some nice speedy Metal the old-school British way that shall not leave fans of the genre uninterested. Most of the songs are fast with galloping riffs and some striking bass/drums lines, while the vocals maintain a youth-gone-wild character and that's really good news. You won't feel bored with "Metal X", rest assured, if you love all things NWOBHM and the related stuff. The solos are remarkable too with enough spite and a Rock 'N' Roll spirit British Metal bands were always keen on, while the sound and production does justice to the band's aim.

Jaguar is back and this recording being pressed on vinyl too, as it should be done. For an independent release - what a pity - "Metal X" does not suffer from something in particular, making this CD a solid release for all lovers of old-school Metal. Grab it and you won't be disappointed; the band needs your help in order to continue making nice music that keeps the Metal spirit alive.
