Metal Shock
One of the very first Italian heavy metal bands returns with its first full-length album in eight years, Metal Shock! Trailblazing and traditional metal ensemble TIR emerge with their second full-length in a career that dates back to 1980, Metal Shock, an album that challenges the old-school metal status quo by having lyrics sung entirely in Italian. another angle in a career that has been marked by going against the grain. Several of the songs found on Metal Shock date all the way back to the bands halcyon 80s period and were subsequently re-written and tinkered with until the members of TIR were satisfied. This type of meticulous detail shines throughout the album, where TIRs penchant for knifing twin guitar melodies, hefty gallops and the multi-faceted vocal capabilities of Cialone are pure touchstones of metals undisputed glory era.
