The term ôrelevantö in this ║ │ │║ context refers to its ability to fall squarely with a ║ │ │║ bandÆs classic releases, rather than simply dated material ║ │ │║ compared to new modern trends. Just in 2019 alone, instant ║ │ │║ classics have been issued by bands like Diamond Head, Angel ║ │ │║ Witch, Picture, The Rods. Hold on to your hats though, ║ │ │║ because Tygers of Pan Tang is about to unleash the best of ║ │ │║ the lotàby a huge margin! ôRitualö is the strongest, most ║ │ │║ memorable release from the band since 1981Æs ôSpellbound,ö ║ │ │║ and that includes such stellar recent albums like ôAnimal ║ │ │║ Instinct,ö ôAmbushö and ôTygers of Pan Tang.ö ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ If you are looking for something more ôcerebralö than ║ │ │║ straightforward ôDad metalö with unbelievable hooks and ║ │ │║ sing-a-long choruses, then skip ôRitual.ö Tygers of Pan ║ │ │║ Tang embrace the tried and true mottoes of ôkeep it simple, ║ │ │║ stupidö and ôsometimes less is more.ö Here you wonÆt find a ║ │ │║ band that is trying to impress with emotional 15 minute ║ │ │║ opuses, or one that is constantly evolving its sound to ║ │ │║ spark endless monotonous conversations about the most ║ │ │║ subtle (or forthright) of changes. Tygers of Pan Tang has ║ │ │║ come to rock, and they rock hard. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In the same vein as 2016Æs eponymous album, ôRitualö wastes ║ │ │║ no time in stampeding the listener with the bursting ║ │ │║ ôWorlds Apart,ö one of the heaviest tunes ever crafted by ║ │ │║ the Whitley Bay rockers. Fair warning though û the straight ║ │ │║ forward chorus can stick in your mind for weeks, like a ║ │ │║ modern day version of ôGangland.ö This isnÆt the only ║ │ │║ instance on ôRitual,ö this is an album chock full of hook ║ │ │║ laden rockers. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The genius behind the album is the bandÆs only original ║ │ │║ member û guitarist Robb Weir. The bandÆs current phase ║ │ │║ proves as formidable as its heyday, with longtime drummer ║ │ │║ Craig Ellis, vocalist Jacopo Meille, bassist Gavin Gray and ║ │ │║ guitarist Micky Crystal. The 2016 self-titled release has ║ │ │║ propelled the bandÆs current energy, though theyÆve been as ║ │ │║ dependable as it gets since the comeback album ôMysticalö ║ │ │║ in 2001. For ôRitualö the band has once again tapped the ║ │ │║ team of Danish multi-musician S°ren Andersen for production ║ │ │║ duties and Harry Hess for mastering. Presenting a top notch ║ │ │║ mix and crystal clear recording, the use of modern ║ │ │║ technology pays homage to the bandÆs legacy without ║ │ │║ succumbing to the thin lifeless sound which has become the ║ │ │║ fanatic recreation of purists in throwback releases lately. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ By keeping to a tried and true songwriting formula, Tygers ║ │ │║ of Pan Tang relies on pure hooks and melody to draw in the ║ │ │║ listener. It is nothing complicated, just engaging riffs, ║ │ │║ familiar melodies and an unabashed attitude of a band that ║ │ │║ seems to say ôrock ainÆt dead, prove us wrong.ö With songs ║ │ │║ like ôSpoils of War,ö ôDamn You!ö and ôRaise Some Hell,ö ║ │ │║ itÆs hard to argue against the draw of great songwriting. ║ │ │║ Add in the hopelessly contagious hard rock melodies found ║ │ │║ within ôLove Will Find A Way,ö ôRescue Me,ö ôWhite Lines,ö ║ │ │║ ôThe Art of Noiseö and a mid-tempo power ballad like ôSail ║ │ │║ On,ö and Eclipse may have finally met its match. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ôRitualö has set the benchmark for a band with a long and ║ │ │║ storied history, but which found rebirth decades later. ║ │ │║ Through masterful and engaging songwriting, you may find ║ │ │║ nothing new with a tried and true basic formula, but I ║ │ │║ challenge each listener to recall songs that you instantly ║ │ │║ remember. ôRitualö could easily be dismissed as just an ║ │ │║ album of old men trying to recapture a youthful spirit that ║ │ │║ died long in the past, but this a collection of sorely ║ │ │║ needed anthems in an age where YouTube ôheroesö get more ║ │ │║ attention than great songwriters. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Robb Weir / Guitars ║ │ │║ Iacopo Meille / Vocals ║ │ │║ Craig Ellis / Drums ║ │ │║ Gav Gray / Bass ║ │ │║ Micky Crystal / Guitars ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 1.
