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”.
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.
