TRAGEDY OF MACBETH
Jag Panzer son
una banda estadounidense de heavy power metal que comenzaron su andadura
musical con el inicio de los 80. Empezaron con el nombre de "Tyrant"
que mantuvieron durante 1981, y en ese mismo año lo cambiaron a Jag
Panzer debido a la gran cantidad de grupos que se habían puesto ese
nombre de "Tyrant" en esa época, varios de ellos en su misma zona de
residencia. Comienzan a editar material ya como Jag Panzer en 1983 con
su EP homónimo al grupo"Jag Panzer". Desde entonces 9 discos de estudio
en tres épocas diferentes son su legado musical hasta la fecha de esta
reseña. Su producción musical se antoja un tanto corta, y es que han
tenido dos separaciones, una en 1988, que dura 5 años, hasta 1993 y la
otra en 2011, fecha de su última obra de estudio editada, "the scourge
of the light", aunque se supone que después han vuelto ha reunirse en
2013 pero sin nada nuevo editado desde su vuelta. Además, la peculiar
forma de entender al grupo por parte de los integrantes ha hecho que
éste se resintiera en más de una ocasión. El grupo lo crean John Tetley
(bajo), Mark Briody (guitarra y teclados), Rick Hyliard (Batería), y
Harry "The tyrant" Conklin (Vocalista). En 1984 se les une el buen
guitarrista Joey Tafolla que ha tenido una cierta carrera en paralelo en
solitario y con otras bandas que le ha hecho entrar y salir de Jag
Panzer en varias ocasiones. Igualmente le ha sucedido a Harry Conklin en
cuanto a proyectos paralelos, como las bandas "Satan's Host" o "Titan
Force", aunque ha diferencia de Tafolla, Conklin ha estado presente en
todas las obras de Jag Panzer hasta el momento. Volviendo a la música de
Jag Panzer, sus inicios se acercaban más a un heavy metal de corte
clásico para ir evolucionando a un power metal de corte un tanto
"oscuro" y de efectividad demostrada. Vamos hoy a referirnos a su quinto LP, "Thane to the Throne", de 2000, un disco conceptual basado en Macbeth de William Shakespeare, que cuenta con varios interludios instrumentales y una buena colección de temas inspirados como digo en Macbeth, y de ellos hoy quiero dejar en el blog una canción que me gusta mucho, "Tragedy of Macbeth", la más larga de las canciones del disco superando los 8 minutos y que pone el colofón apropiado al disco, un tema con un buen cambio a mitad, ya que comienza muy tranquilito y melancólico hasta los tres minutos, en que hay un ataque vocal por parte del genial Harry Conklin que aumenta el peso de la canción, el tema siempre se queda rondando un medio tiempo musicalmente hablando aunque la agresiva y poderosa voz de Conklin nos de otra sensación, en definitiva, un tema que siempre me ha gustado mucho y del que dejo hoy un enlace a youtube.
[Three Sisters}
We three sisters, weird sisters indeed
Plant in Mac Beth the tyrant's seed
As it grows from thane to king
Deceit and murder is reaped
(MacBeth)
The sister's prophecy has won me title of thane
Yet I feel I'm so much more, my lady feels the same
I can be king with just a daggers thrust
Careful planning and this bloody deed is done
I cannot commit alone my lady must attend
Together we will wear the gowns of royalty in the end
{Duet- MacBeth & Lady}
We can do all things. Hand in hand
We can live as kings. Hand in hand
(MacBeth)
This night together we commit this bloody deed
No one will suspect us in doing such a thing
We'll place the blame on the servant we shall kill.
Leave no witnesses and erase our guilt
We are so clever none shall suspect
On the marrow they will place the crown on my head
{Duet- MacBeth & Lady}
We can do all things. Hand in hand
We can live as kings. Hand in hand
(MacBeth)
We have been betrayed. Banquo; our trusted friend
Suspects our plot to be rulers of this land
Banquo you're life will be rid of this world
I shall not regret. Our innocence protect
We can do all things. We can live as kings.
We can do all things. We can live as kings.
(MacBeth)
I must seek the sisters to guide me in my plight
There must be more. I go this night
{Three Sisters}
We see apparitions. Three that show their face
Beware MacBeth, Beware MacBeth.
We can do all things. We can live as kings.
We can do all things. We can live as kings.
(MacBeth)
Destroy Macduff on this very night
I am MacBeth, none can defy
{MacDuff}
Join me young Malcolm, rid me of this bane.
Standing together we will seize Dunsinane.
We can do all things. We can live as kings.
We can do all things. We can live as kings.
We can do all things. We can live as kings.
We can do all things. We can live as kings.
Lady Mac Beth
I cannot rid my mind of guilt the stains of blood will not wash clean
Tonight I end this nightmare I've made and finally rest in peace
Mac Beth/
Damn my heart, my lady is gone all we've made has turned to ash
I will avenge her death on Macduff's head. No man shall take me. None of woman born!
(MacBeth)
Birnham wood is growing My world comes crashing down
None of woman born will take me.
{MacDuff}
Ripped from the womb was I.
