<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nLegendary NWOBHM pioneers – Tygers of Pan Tang have done their best to keep the flag of true British metal flying for more than four decades. They have continued to tour and release new music regularly, and they have come back strong with their latest release: Electrifyed. <\/em>The band influenced many who came after them, including some of the biggest names in metal. James Hetfield from Metallica is regularly pictured wearing a Tygers shirt. Their former guitarist John Sykes (RIP) went on to be a member of Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake and his own project, the wonderful Blue Murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Tygers have given us ten solid (and heavy!) tracks on Electrifyed <\/em>with some fantastic performances from the individual members. They come together to deliver a great package of traditional heavy metal. Vocalist Jack Meille sounds great, a hint of Robert Plant in his style, he belts out the tracks with gusto, while delivering catchy hooks. His clear articulation enables the listener to pick up the lyrics with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The album kicks off with Rise Up! <\/em>An atmospheric intro soon gives way to a full – on riff laden track with a huge chorus. Forevermore <\/em>showcases more vocal gymnastics from Meille, while founding guitarist Robb Weir and fellow lead guitarist John Foottit crunch and shred away to their hearts content. The Powers That Be <\/em>is another fist pumping anthem with a forceful drum intro courtesy of Craig Ellis. Lyrically, the song discusses the state of the world as it currently stands and the futility of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
