Mighty Music are proud to announce the release of a live album by the TYGERS OF PAN TANG, to be called Live Blood. Stalwarts of the NWOBHM, the TYGERS are currently celebrating eight years with Mighty Music during which time they have released three well received new albums, the most recent of which Bloodlines, was met with universal critical acclaim in 2023. The band, with guitarist Robb Weir at the helm, along with long-serving members Jack Meille (vocals) and Craig Ellis (drums), includes their two new recruits for Bloodlines: guitarist Francesco Marras and bass player Huw Holding. Live Blood includes material from across the band's career, including songs from their first four albums with MCA Records plus their last four albums of new material.
Jack Meille comments: "Recording a live album after all this time with the TYGERS? I never thought I would experience it but with the TYGERS OF PAN TANG I have learnt that the "impossible" is possible. Live Blood captures all the energy we deliver while playing our favourite songs live and raw!"
The recording was made at The Patriot venue in Wales UK during the summer of 2023 and will arrive as a single CD and a double vinyl featuring additional tracks. The album will be preceded by the release of two singles: the live favourite "Gangland" from their legendary Spellbound album and the hidden gem "Keeping Me Alive" from Ambush.
We will leave the final word with Robb Weir: "Every time we play a show we are asked when we are going to record a new live album. Our live show adds a new dimension to the old songs and allows us to stretch out a bit on the newer numbers."
Live Blood will be released on LP (black vinyl) CD and digital formats on April 26th, 2024 via Mighty Music.
