[edit] History
After experiementing with a variety of music styles, such as Futurepop with Icon of Coil, as well as aggrotech, power noise and industrial with Combichrist, LaPlegua furthered his sound by increasing the aggressiveness of both his lyrical content and his music. As well, where Icon Of Coil and Combichrist are both purely Electronica, Panzer AG combines elements of Industrial Music, Trance Music and Hard Rock. The result was the full-length album, This is My Battlefield on the Metropolis Records label.
With the success of This is my Battlefield, Panzer AG began working on a follow-up album, which was entitled Your World is Burning, which was released in 2006. A slight departure in style from This is My Battlefield, it is said to have been "incorporating more of a 'Pretty Hate Machine era' industrial rock feel."[1]
