Plan B Forum

Panzerballett plays both original compositions by guitarist Zehrfeld and his creative arrangements of popular songs from rock (Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple), to pop (Ein Bisschen Frieden by Nicole), to jazz (Birdland by Weather Report) to soundtrack (as the title theme The Simpsons). The band has noted their influences to be classic jazz and funk artists and also heavy progressive metal artists such as Meshuggah. The song Iron Maiden Voyage shows these diverse influences; the song's name is a pun on the name of the band metal band Iron Maiden and the Jazz Standard Maiden Voyage by Herbie Hancock). An important feature of the band's music is the virtuosity of their performance; the band's members have studied with award-winning musicians to master their instruments at a high technical level. One example of their technical skill are the highly complex polyrhythmic structures the band uses in their compositions.
