Zar is a melodic hard rock/power metal band from Germany (Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg) . Their first release came out in 1990 titled "Live your life forever", and sounded similar to Dio, Europe and TNT. The band has started as a hard rock band, but have changed their direction for the second album towards melodic heavy/power metal, which was comparable to Axxis stylewise. John Lawton did not want to sing on the new, harder material, and so he was replaced by Thommy Bloch. John later returned to sing lead vocals as a guest on one song on the ``From Welcome... To Goodbye`` album. The band is active as of 2009.
