A heavy metal band from Florida, formed in 2004, signed, debut album released in 2008 and less than 20 years old.
Black Tide is one of the new breed of young bands playing good old metal. They combine heavy metal with thrash, speed and little bit of glam metal making a mix of catchy choruses, nice riffs and impressive guitar work. Their debut work Light From Above is a good breath of fresh air on the heavy metal scene, yeah it’s actually radio friendly but it has the spirit that most underground bands don’t have.
The album includes dynamic songs like Shockwave and Let me mixed with more hairy songs like Shout and more ballad style Black Abyss. A good number is cover of Hit The Lights (originally by Metallica), a real cover reminiscent of the early metal militia versions of this track. So for those who think that metal is dead… you are wrong!
