Thane to the Throne is the fifth studio album released by American power metal band Jag Panzer, released on June 19, 2000.
Thane to the Throne is a concept album with a plot that is a musical retelling of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.
A video was made for "King at a Price". It had been included on the Era of Kings and Conflict DVD released independently by the band in 2002. The video features snippets of the '97-'08 lineup playing live on stage and overdubbed by the studio track.[3]
In 2024, the album had a limited vinyl edition re-issue through Atomic Fire Records, the label that the band signed to on December 28, 2022.[4] The album had received a full range master by Bart Gabriel and featured a new cover artwork by Dusan Markovic.[5]
