Ritual is the 13th studio album from NWOBHM band Tygers Of Pan Tang.  Formed in 1978, Tygers had a litany of members and reformations, with Ritual being the second album to feature the current line-up, and to be released on Denmark’s Mighty Music Records label.  The band believes this to be their strongest material since their breakout record, 1981’s Spellbound.  Founding guitarist Robb Weir, along with current vocalist Jacopo Meille, bassist Gavin Gray, drummer Craig Ellis, and most recent addition, guitarist Micky Crystal could even see some fans thinking this was their strongest work to date.

Ritual is a solid album.  Well produced, with big NWOBHM riffs, tight vocal harmonies, good hooks, and strong material.  Ritual was specifically named independently from the track names so that the listener would not be lead to one song in particular.  Each song has its own merits, and there is no filler on the record.  “White Lines” is to be the first single released, and it’s very good.  Big riffs, big hooks, killer solos.  Tygers Of Pan Tang fans will be very pleased with this latest offering.  NWOBHM fans, Heavy Metal fans, and Judas Priest fans would do well to check out Ritual.

    Stevie was a reviewer here at Metal Express Radio. He is currently the lead guitarist for Melodic Rock band Red Reign, based in Richmond, Virginia, USA. Red Reign toured with Tesla in 2017, and shared the stage with Dokken, FireHouse, Lita Ford, Kix, Quiet Riot, and others at various dates around the US in 2018. Stevie heard his first KISS record at the age of 6 and was immediately hooked on Rock and Roll guitar. Over the course of years his tastes evolved, graduating from KISS to Ozzy and Van Halen; and then into Hair Metal. Over time, harder and faster music drew him. Bands like Metallica, Pantera, and Anthrax led the way, and Killswitch Engage took him over the top. Stevie has a deep passion for the guitar, not only playing them, but building them as well.
