Von Panzer History
The band was formed in october 2005 by bandleader, drummer and writer of all music and lyrics; Niclas ”Klajja” Kleist. The idea was to record and gig without any intention to follow anybody elses rules.
The first member to be found was bassguitarist Marko Lehto. Shortly after Marko had joined the band a leadguitarist was found in Olof Sundfeldt. However, Marko´s time in the band was to be short, since he quit in the spring of 2006. Klajja, Marko and Olof did however record demos for Bullet, Working man and Trenches towards the end of 2005.
A period of writing followed for bandleader Klajja, while searching for suitable musicians. In october 2006 a rythmguitarist was found by name of Jimmy ”Jimbo” Petersson. The trio recorded demos for the songs The Maginot line and Loaded. The basguitar dutys was shared between Jimbo and Olof.
November 2006 was on its way and this month was to be a lucky milestone since the band completed its lineup. On november the 18th Roger Svensson, from Last Temptation, joined the band to play basguitar, and just a few days later (21 nov.) Andreas ”KP” Johansson on leadvocals joined. Von Panzer as a band was on its way…
