Tygers of Pan Tang

Tygers of Pan Tang are a British heavy metal band formed in Whitley Bay in 1978 and one of the key names of the NWOBHM. Early albums Wild Cat (1980) and Spellbound (1981) cemented their reputation, aided by guitarist John Sykes and vocalist Jon Deverill. After more commercial turns on The Cage (1982) and later AOR-leaning releases, the band regrouped, returning to form with 2000s–2010s albums including Animal Instinct (2008), Ambush (2012), Tygers of Pan Tang (2016), and Ritual (2019), led by founding guitarist Robb Weir and vocalist Jacopo Meille.
