Mighty Music is proud to announce the release of “Electrifyed”, the brand-new studio album from NWOBHM pioneers TYGERS OF PAN TANG. The album finds the legendary British metal act returning to a heavier and more aggressive sound while retaining the melodic identity that has defined the band throughout its celebrated career.

““The heavier, the better” that was our mantra throughout the writing and recording of “Electrifyed””, singer Jack Meille comments about the writing process of the record. “We wanted to rediscover the pleasure of being driven by the powerful force of a heavy riff without losing that melodic touch all great Tygers songs have”.

Written with a clear artistic vision from the outset, “Electrifyed” draws inspiration from the raw energy of the band’s early years, particularly their landmark debut album “Wild Cat”, while showcasing the chemistry and creativity of the current line-up. The result is a collection of songs built around powerful riffs, memorable melodies and a renewed commitment to the heavy metal traditions the band helped establish.

The album also introduces guitarist John Footitt on record for the first time. Joining founding member Robb Weir, Jack Meille, drummer Craig Ellis and bassist Huw Holding, Footitts guitar skills fit the album’s muscular and contemporary sound.

To achieve the sonic impact envisioned by the band, Tygers of Pan Tang worked closely with producer and musician Marco Angioni, a longtime friend and collaborator who helped translate the group’s ambitions into a cohesive and powerful final product. The album artwork was once again entrusted to Andy Pilkington of Very Metal Art, whose striking cover concept perfectly captures the spirit and energy of “Electrifyed”.

“Electrifyed” will be released on LP (black vinyl, blue vinyl with white splatter and orange vinyl with blue splatter, each limited to 500 copies), digipack CD and digital formats on 11.09.2026, via Mighty Music. Pre-orders are available now via this link.

The first two singles off the album, the title track and “Forevermore”, are out now on all streaming services.

More than four decades after helping launch the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Tygers of Pan Tang continue to demonstrate why they remain one of the movement’s most enduring and respected names. “Electrifyed” stands as both a tribute to the genre’s roots and a statement of intent for the present day.

“It’s time to honour the musical movement that we helped to start – the ’New Wave of British Heavy Metal’. This is a brand new Heavy Metal album from us, steeped in the late 70’s, flavoured from the 80’s and ready for consumption right now!” says founder and guitarist Robb Weir.

“Electrifyed” will be released on LP (black vinyl, blue vinyl with white splatter and orange vinyl with blue splatter, each limited to 500 copies), digipack CD and digital formats on 11.09.2026, via Mighty Music.
