Nowy album Tyrant do odsłuchu

Today, reunited American heavy metal legends Tyrant stream their long-awaited comeback album, Hereafter, at Decibel magazine's website. Set for international release on May 15th via Shadow Kingdom Records, hear Tyrant's Hereafter in its entirety exclusively HERE.

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 leadup to its long-awaited release this Friday, hear Hereafter in its entirety exclusively HERE, courtesy of Decibel, North America's only monthly metal magazine. Preorder info can be found HERE as well as HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
