Bloodlines

Product Information

Tune in the Daily Album Premiere Show to hear the finest metal releases just now hitting the streets! Opener ‘Edge Of The World’ begins with ominous tones but then gallops with a convincing and melodious wonder bolstered by the clear, driving vocals of Italian frontman Jacopo Meille who, since 2004, has brought an exotic steeliness to the band. The album closer, “Making All the Rules,” however, is a real treat because it’s a laid-back song, but also a rocker.

Tygers Of Pan Tang: Bloodlines album review | Louder

But what really gels this platter together is the axe work of Weir and another Italian acquisition Francesco Marras; together they construct flighty yet fully armoured vehicles of metallic belligerence that soar aloft with melody too. Having led TYGERS OF PAN TANG since their first album through a number of line-up changes, he recognises that the current Tygers are probably the strongest since they were at the forefront of the NWOBHM. And if there’s been one thing you can’t ignore in the Tygers recent work, it’s the guitar of Francesco Marras, and as if to prove it, “In My Blood,” has a standout solo. The riotous ’n’ raunchy Back For Good is a standout of sorts; you can genuinely detect a whiff of NWOBHM fever.

Dealing with suicide head-on, it’s brave and empathetic and ends the record on a more serious note than you might have imagined it would. Following this with a tour that took in six countries across Europe both Francesco and Huw have been amazed at the reaction to the new line-up. Recording an EP (“A New Heartbeat”) to celebrate their re-signing with Mighty Music, the Tygers demonstrated just how potent the new lineup was becoming. Working together for the first time with producer Tue Madsen (Moonspell) has given the band a boost.

There is little doubt too that Tygers Of Pan Tang are rightfully proud of this record: “I feel as confident with our new line-up as I did all those years ago when “Wildcat” appeared on the shelves, and it was given a unanimous thumbs-up. The rawness is gone, partially due to modern production, but the heavy riffs and piercing guitar solos are still there. I feel as confident with our new lineup as I did all those years ago when Wildcat appeared on the shelves and it was given a unanimous thumbs up. He specialised in covering rock music and helped popularise the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM) after using the term for the first time (after editor Alan Lewis coined it) in the May 1979 issue of Sounds. And even when the acoustics come out for “Making All The Rules,” it’s one of the best the album has to offer.From there, her tastes expanded to other bands such as AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Judas Priest, Saxon, Cinderella, and Overkill. The backbone of the band – Craig Ellis on drums, together with Jack Meille on vocals, have now been together for considerably longer than the first Tygers and were recently joined by Francesco Marras on guitar, and Huw Holding on bass. two new songs on the EP gave listeners the chance to evaluate Francesco Marras’ contribution, and the reaction was entirely positive. The irony of all this is that although the Tygers have always been “nearly” men – they’ve had some serious bad luck along the way, not least their original singer doing a flit to run a label, and John Sykes being poached by Thin Lizzy – they’re always there, always working, and still releasing superb records.

REVIEW: TYGERS OF PAN TANG – BLOODLINES (2023)

The time has likely come to delete ‘ NWOBHM legends’ as a prelude to any mentioning of Tygers Of Pan Tang. To that end, “Bloodlines” – which follows reasonably hot on the heels of last year’s “A New Heartbeat” EP – is another in the long line. We started in 1985 and are comprised of Metal gurus from the United States, Norway, England, France, and Canada! I feel as confident with our new lineup as I did all those years ago when “Wildcat” appeared on the shelves and it was given a unanimous thumbs up.Respect to original member Robb Weir for dragging this band through the decades of turbulence and reforming the Tygers Of Pan Tang in 1999. The songs, all self-penned, successfully demonstrate just how well the core of Weir, Meille and Ellis have blended with the new boys.
