I've got your NWOBHM right here, this kicks ass!!! Can't wait to hear the album, hopefully one of the vendors will have it tonight, really going back to that early Sykes infused sound...
they were amazing in Chicago this past May. They played a great mix of old and new. Tons of energy. I recommend the new album to anyone who likes good music and hard rock / metal.
"...In this episode, former Tygers Of Pan Tang singer talks about the band's early days and staying involved with the group through various album re-issues, the current lineup, guitarist John Sykes & prepping for his Ozzy Osbourne auditions, Blitzkrieg, Neat Records, Metal Nation Records, his Third Step solo album, Wacken, Diamond Head, Metallica and much more...."
"...Tygers Of Pan Tang will release their new live album, Live Blood, on April 26. A video for "Gangland" from the set can be viewed below.
Live Blood will be released on vinyl, CD and digital. You can pre-order your format of choice here...."
"...There was always something about that original release though that bothered the band: the sleeve. It was felt that it didn’t do the band justice. Step in Andy Pilkington, responsible for the last two Tygers albums’ covers. He was asked to create a cover that would sit happily alongside the quality seen in other Tygers album sleeves. They also felt that the sound required a new mix, and called upon the services of trusted friend and producer Marco Angioni to add the necessary sheen to an already fine sounding album. A bonus track, “Don’t Say Rock’n’Roll Is Gonna Die” has also been added to the re-issue.
Animal Instinct will be reissued on CD, LP (transparent light blue vinyl, limited to 500 copies) and digital formats on November 22, 2024 via Mighty Music. Pre-orders are available via this location...."
