ALPHA TIGER REVEAL DETAILS FOR UPCOMING IDENTITY ALBUM
When we released our debut album Man Or Machine in 2011, it was greeted by raving reviews because lots of fans felt reminded of the golden age of heavy metal. Although this was an ideal start for us, it was nothing we wanted to limit ourselves to, guitarist and main songwriter Peter Langforth explains, adding: Instead of remaining in the comfort zone of our newly-acquired fan base, our second release Beneath The Surface already saw us develop more individualistic and topical traits without straying too far from our basic style. Weve completed this process on iDENTITY, now we sound the way we always felt Alpha Tiger should.
Talking of which: the pace of the haunting opener "Lady Liberty" is almost tangible: To me, "Lady Liberty" is a prime example of how to write a short song. In the past, our material occasionally tended to get a little out of hand, whereas "Lady Liberty" has everything this number needs and not a single note that isnt absolutely necessary, Langforth explains.
iDENTITY will be available in three formats: as a Digipak including DVD featuring recordings from Alpha Tigers performance at the Bang Your Head festival in June 2013, as a jewel case and as a gatefold vinyl LP.
Release dates in 2015 are: Scandinavia January 14th, Germany January 16th, Europe January 19th and North America January 20th.
