Tyrant powracają z nowym albumem

Today, Shadow Kingdom Records sets May 15th as the international release date for the long-awaited comeback album of America's Tyrant, Hereafter, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Hailing from Pasadena, California, Tyrant formed in 1978 and put out their first demo in '82. However, it was with their pair of albums for Metal Blade - 1985's Legions of the Dead and 1987's Too Late to Pray - where they'd etch their name into cult heavy metal legendry. Proud and powerful, theirs was steel tempered in the purest and proudest tradition: neither NWOBHM nor speed metal nor doom nor hair metal by any strict definitions, but uniquely dipping that blade into all at any given moment, and given an almost medieval atmosphere considering the ever-changing stylistic landscape during those years, which would be deemed "old-fashioned" as the 1980s came to a close. It took nearly a decade for Tyrant's next album to arrive, 1996's King of Kings, and indeed were the band even more out of place in that landscape; despite staunchly sticking to their guns, this would be their otherwise-final album.

In the meantime, see & hear the brand-new lyric video for the title track "Hereafter" HERE at Shadow Kingdom's official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE at Shadow Kingdom's Bandcamp as well as HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
