TYRANT “Days At The Farm – The Anthology”LP Steel Legacy
This is not the better known american band. This is the british one. They
were different from the others bands of the NWOBHM, because TYRANT played
powerful epic metal. This vinyl release includes the two tracks from the
’83 7’’ single, the six tracks from the ’81 demo, and one unreleased track
recorded live. TYRANT offers great heavy anthems (“We’ve Surrended”, “Take
It To The Dragon”), unleashing the galloping guitars for the savage ride
(“Shadows Of The Night”, “Hold Back The Lightning”). “Clash Of The Titans”
is a monster of power, and “Eyes Of A Stranger” is a majestic piece. The
playing of axemen Jim Merrit and Gary Atkins is excellent. The tremendous
vocals of Mark Kelser sometimes reminds of Tim Baker (Cirith Ungol). They
broke up in 1984. If epic metal is one of your tastes, be sure to grab one
of the 500 copies, because TYRANT’s material is fucking killer !
