JACKAL started in 1985 by the brothers Terry en Stephan Pechler (both from STRUCK).
John Bouman, Rick Waalewijn (both from STAINLESS) and Erwin Siereveld made the band complete and in 1989 the CD “Cry Of The Jackal” was recorded.
This CD received good reviews in metal magazines as “AARDSCHOK”, was played at radio stations such as Vara’s Vuurwerk and Radio Octaaf, and got great response from several countries in the world especially from Germany.
Jackal did shows with bands as Vexation, Angus, Hot Legs, Baby’s Breath, Chalice, etc. In 1992 the band stopt.
In January of 2007 the original members John and Rick kick-started the band again. New bandmemebers where found, rehearsals started and after their ball breaking debut on 12-12-08 in de Kade in Zaandam the band is playing full force again!
In 2010 original singer Erwin Siereveld joined the band again.
Since then the guys have worked hard on old and new songs and played with bands like o.a. Martyr, Vanderbuyst, Iron Fist, Custard and Lizzy Borden.
JACKAL is making preparations to record a new CD.
