Black Tide

美国金属/摇滚Revolver杂志力荐：「找回我们几乎已经遗忘的80年代末期金属频率，相当大有可为的首张专辑」
流着正统血液的第一波主打&Shockwave&飙进全美主流摇滚榜TOP28
来自美国佛洲的一支新乐队的第一张专辑就把重金属玩的这么“土”，传统的音色，酣畅的旋律，很久没听到这么纯粹的声音了！
确实！乐队有了一切经典乐队的影子，好听到不行的精干riff和流畅solo，充满力量的主唱，一切都在高速精准的运转着，令人陶醉。

As mere teenagers ranging in age from 14 to 19 years old, Black Tide (formerly called Radio) share a surprising affinity for metal bands that hit their career peaks and vanished behind the curtain of grunge well before any members of the group were born. Citing guitar virtuosos Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, and Steve Vai as influences, as well as the more traditionally referenced metal trendsetters like Metallica and Slayer, the boys make heavy-hitting speed metal that would sit right at home in the mid-'80s, blaring over the opening credits of MTV's Headbanger's Ball. Bassist Zachary Sandler, drummer Steven Spence, and guitarists Gabriel Garcia and Alex Nunez got their big breaks when they were invited to play the main stage of Ozzfest in August of 2007. Swinging their long manes of black hair wildly and shredding explosively, they caught the attention of Interscope Records, which made plans to release their debut album, Light from Above, in early 2008, just after they started a tour with Avenged Sevenfold. The album was released in March of that year.
