THE REVIEW
New work by Tygers of Pan Tang - Ambush - Released in September 2012.
On vocals, we have the very Italian Jacopo Meille. Great Jacopo. A voice that finally showcases the international value of an Italian Singer. There is a vocal personality that amazes from the first listen.
The entire album is of excellent workmanship. Clean sounds and especially a very fast Hard Rock.
The opening track - Keeping Me Alive - features a very classic guitar riff. And from the very first minutes, it's clear that the Tiger still roars. A catchy chorus with doubled vocals and mid-tempo to launch into the solo. The other tracks, with the same melodic line, are always enjoyable. Highlighted are the songs Man On Fire and Hey Suzie.
I won't bore you with discussions about NWOBHM. I am always pleased to hear new work with modern sounds from a band from the '80s.
Long live the Tigers...
