│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As an avid old school metal fan, nothing brings greater joy ║ │
│║ than to see classic bands releasing consistently brilliant ║ │
│║ and still relevant material. 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. ║ │
