Are you ready to blast off with some bigass speed metal? Coming straight out of Cancún, it’s Jet Jaguar with their blistering single Mach 10. They’ve been shredding since 2014 AND won the 2017 Wacken Open Air Metal Battle™. That’s pretty great to do three years after forming. I guess Jet Jaguar’s someone in a or many Godzillas, he’s probably stoked a band this rad is named after him.

The song kicks off with a quick drum fill before the guitars jump in. Right off the bat you can tell it’s going to be big bombastic and badass metal. The vocal harmonizing is refreshing to hear, especially as punctuation to each verse. Oooh the singer and his wingman are ready to engage. More metal songs should have jet fighter themes. There’s gotta be more than just Mach 10 and Hibria’s Tiger Punch. Hit us in the tittus if there are more. The bass is slappy and great to hear in the mix before the solo. And holy crap the guitar solo up in there with the finger taps and the sweeps picks, it’s so shreddy! Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams, but I’m pretty sure that guitarist could!

The video is just them playing in what looks like an empty office building. Or like one of the unfinished floors from Die Hard. There’s some visual overlays of jets locking on or something, which makes me wonder if they wanted to get some aerial dogfight footage to add too, but ran out of time. They should reach out to Hibria and see if they have extra footage from Tiger Punch. That’d be pretty rad.
