Power Games is something of a NWOBHM classic. Breathlessly heavy, fast and furious. Early speed/thrash metal if you will.

The whole album is delivered at breakneck speed. Monster riffs banging along apace. Brutal solos, thunderous drumming and vocals to match.

Jaguar were initially signed to Neat Records – of course the label who snapped up many a fledgling NWOBHM-related band back then – and Power Games was a modest success at the time. As were the great Raven who had a similar style to Jaguar.

The story goes that Jaguar were on the bill with Raven at a Dutch rock festival which resulted in the offer from Neat to join Raven as label mates.

A second album – This Time – was released in 1984 via Roadrunner. However moving away from the fast and furious stuff to a more polished and melodic sound perhaps wasn’t the best move and Jaguar split soon afterwards.
