TYGERS OF PAN TANG ANNOUNCE ALBUM TITLE – BLOODLINES, AND SET RELEASE DATE FOR MAY

Following the release of the single ‘Edge of the World’ last month, the Tygers of Pan Tang have now announced the title of their forthcoming album, which will be released on Mighty Music in May.

Bloodlines will be released on the 5th May and is the latest offering from the band, which features founding member Robb Weir, alongside Craig Ellis, Jack Meille, and newly recruited bass play Huw Holding and guitarist Francesco Marras.

Bloodelines has been recorded entirely by the musicians who comprise the current line-up, it is a tour de force of what made the NWOBHM such a potent force in music. The songs, all self-penned, successfully demonstrate just how well the core of Weir, Meille and Ellis have blended with the new boys. New Danish producer Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Moonspell, Sick Of It All) has brought a contemporary edge to the traditional Tygers sound and immediately bonded with the band, recognising just what it was they were looking for. Still metal at its core, the melodic vocals and exemplary guitar solos ensure that the songs are worthy rivals to the very best of their back catalogue. 

The last word comes from Robb Weir, whose dream created the Tygers all those years ago. “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. Our recent live shows have demonstrated a harmony within the band and, coupled with the quality of “Bloodlines”, the potential to create music and perform live shows for some considerable time to come.”

“Bloodlines” will be released on LP (black and red vinyl, with the latter being limited to 500), CD and digital formats via Mighty Music on May 5th, 2023. Pre-orders are available here.
