TYGERS OF PAN TANG (NWOBHM – UK) – Release “Gangland” (live video) – Taken from the new live album “Live Blood”, to be released on April 26, 2024 via Mighty Music #tygersofpantang #nwobhm #heavymetal

Welcome to the first single and video from the soon to be unleashed live album from the TYGERS OF PAN TANG, “Live Blood”. “Gangland”, which first appeared on the iconic “Spellbound” record, has been a staple of the Tygers live set since it made its first appearance in 1981.

Bass player Huw Holding, the most recent recruit to the Tygers camp, was astonished at the reaction to “Gangland” when he first joined the band. “It definitely leans towards the heavier side of our live show and the crowd love it” he remarked.

“Gangland” is also one of the first songs that, the then new vocalist Jon Deverill, wrote with the band. He recently described it as “…A diatribe against the establishment, politicians and corruption in high places – quite relevant in 2024 as it happens!”.

“Gangland – live” is out today in digital single and video formats. Check out the video in the link below.

“Live Blood” will be released on double LP (black vinyl, including three exclusive bonus tracks), CD and digital formats on April 26th, 2024 via Mighty Music. Pre-orders are available here.

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”.
