This is the future of hard rock/metal!! These guys sound too good to be true, but no one ever said that there couldn't be exceptions! Yep, they are ALL under 20 years of age too. The singer/guitarist is 15, the lead guitarist and drummer are 18, and the drummer is 19. The age thing ...

This is the future of hard rock/metal!! by .. Joseph E. Allen ()
These guys sound too good to be true, but no one ever said that there couldn't be exceptions! Yep, they are ALL under 20 years of age too. The singer/guitarist is 15, the lead guitarist and drummer are 18, and the drummer is 19. The age thing doesn't really matter to me though. The MUSIC is what matters, and these guys sure nailed it! Every song is entertaining and has a good catch to it. Most mainstream bands today cannot go a single verse/chorus with out getting boring. These guys have found the pick of destiny, because that teenage guitar duo shred like Dave and Adrian of Iron Maiden, and Glen and K.K. of Judas Priest. God that kid can sing! If i didn't know of the band's age range, I would have thought these were an 80's underground thrash/glam group with REALLY good production. My favorite songs are Shockwave, Warriors Of Time, Live Fast Die Young, Hit The Lights (Metallica cover is amazing), Black Abyss, and Black Widow. Now don't waste any more time missing out on this band!!! Buy the album!!! It's totally worth the money. Simply amazing...

Rock, rock, till you drop! by .. Justin Gaines (Northern Virginia)
I can't tell you how good it does my heart to find a band of young kids that embraces the powerful melodic hard rocking sound of yesteryear, and not in some cheap, gimmicky neo-ironic kind of way either (Darkness, I'm looking in your direction). Black Tide provides an electrifying breath of fresh air to the classic rock and metal sound. You can hear elements of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Scorpions, early Def Leppard, Guns n' Roses and Skid Row in Black Tide's sound, but it has an energy and edginess that keeps it from sounding dated.

2008's Light from Above is Black Tide's debut album (and on a major label, how does that happen in this day and age?). It's also the best new release I've heard all year. It's all wall to wall riffs, melodies, and solos that will make your jaw drop in amazement. Songs like Shockwave and Black Abyss will have you raising your fist for metal, and the rest of the album is just as impressive. The cover of Metallica's Hit the Lights is an appropriate homage, as that was the song a young upstart Metallica used to gain exposure on the Metal Massacre, Vol. 1 compilation.

If you've spent the last 15 years wondering where the rock went, you MUST get this album. 30 and 40-something rock fans should eat this up like candy, but I want to stress that Black Tide is no nostalgia act. This is an amazingly tight and energetic rock band that younger punk/emo/whatevercore fans should find just as compelling.

PS - If you like what you hear, you'll also want to check out some of the other up and coming bands that are bringing back real rock and metal, like Endeverafter, Airbourne, Fatal Smile, Wolf, Widow, and Icarus Witch.

AMAZING!!! by .. John Smith (ME)
This is the best album in the last 10 years. PERIOD. These guys are just what the metal scene needs right now. Powerhouse vocals, Face-melting shredding (TRULY creative soloing that doesn't get old), but all in an easily accessible package; SHOCKWAVE, WARRIORS OF TIME, LIVE FAST DIE YOUNG. So many hits. I've heard people say "there's nothing new here". BULLS**T. This is classic 80s Metal with a totally fresh, up-to-the-minute modern feel. These young metalheads have a great career ahead of them. BUY IT!...nuff said.

First Rock I've heard in years. by .. R. Johnston ()
I can't write anything here that hasn't been covered by the other reviewers. These guys are amazingly talented and it's a fantastic album. Most of the songs on this album quickly found a place in my top 25 most listened to playlist. They rock! \m/
