HEAVY TIGER is a three piece chic band apart from Stockholm, Sweden. The outcome of one pure mission in the mind of guitarslinger & singer Maja Linn: to form a Killer Rock 'n' Roll Band! Great songs, uncompromising live performances and true ambitions were the ingredients to build it all upon. No band member was allowed to be short of dedication, or talent for that matter.
Luckily this crazy rock 'n' roll heart eventually found her sisters in arms. Drummer Astrid Carsbring and Sara Frendin on bass, both truly good musicians, were just the right people to team up with. They soon became close friends as well and HEAVY TIGER was a fact. The year was 2010 and the girls turned 17.
Vinyl Version of Glitter
Today's tune "I Go for the Cheap Ones" taken from their album "Glitter", Enjoy!
Monday, New week, time to introduce "Record Of The Week"
Brazil’s leading ladies of thrash NERVOSA is back with a brand new record "Agony". The thrash metal power trio from Sao Paulo, Brasil, formed by Fernanda Lira (bass and vocals), Prika Amaral (guitar and backing vocals) and Pitchu Ferraz (drums).
12 new tracks that will kick your man hood ass big time. This is really an raw and fast thrash album with a pretty decent production. It's a great crossover of classic Trash metal and Death metal where the girls in the band brings up what is best from both.
The album contains cleaver and passionate tunes of the old school area of both Death and Trash metal where the classic heavy riffs meets the testosterone blasting drums and the harsh, heavy and freaking high vocals that will scorched of your flesh on your newly sunburnt back. "Agony" is a brilliant piece of modern thrash metal that have every single great thing there is about it. "Agony" almost effortlessly merges the energy of the glorious 80s with the refined aggression of this millennium. Played even more on point and precise than debut Victim of yourself (2014), it definitely enriches the NERVOSA sound having transferred the production to the USA: the South American riff tornado is in flawless shape! NERVOSA is a malicious maelstrom full of old school darkness.
Sum: "Agony" is a must have along all the thrashers around this globe!
Today's tune "Hostages" is taken from "Agony", enjoy it!
