Alpha Tiger: : offer free download song and reveal details on upcoming album

Century Media Records — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 01:33:44 GMT

Germany's ALPHA TIGER are living proof for the fact that traditional heavy metal does not necessarily need to be created by elderly people and the band's hard-hitting second album (and Century Media debut) "Beneath The Surface" kicks rusty rockers out of their wheelchairs with its remarkably fresh take on early Helloween and Queensryche - perfect metal pleasure guaranteed! Thoroughly hailed in the national and international metal scene for its 2011 debut "Man Or Machine" (Sonic Attack Records) and much celebrated shows at German cult festivals Keep It True, Headbangers Open Air and Rock Hard Festival as well as France's finest Hellfest, ALPHA TIGER quickly became one of Germany's hottest heavy metal newcomers (e.g. #7 in the newcomer category of Rock Hard's Reader's Poll 2011). Due to epic compositions, catchy hooks and Stephan Dietrich's powerful vocals reminiscent of Geoff Tate and Michael Kiske in their heyday, the band succeeded in living up to the positive feedback. All lyrical topics are represented in the stunning cover artwork which despite bearing reminiscences to the work of cult artist Ed Repka was created by Hungarian designer Peter Tikos who also worked with the band on the "Man Or Machine" cover. "Beneath The Surface" was recorded in summer 2012 at Berlin's Musicflash studio, engineered by Mirco Godi Hildmann and mixed and mastered by Andreas Hilbert. ALPHA TIGER just finished an European tour as direct support for W.A.S.P. and will play a couple of special release shows in 2013. And of course they are already confirmed to play some of the biggest Metal Festivals like Wacken in Summer 2013. Check out the video for the first single "From Outer Space" here: youtube.com/watch?v=6D2o_tQU2Jo The band offers a free download of "We Came From The Gutter" as a special Christmas gift for the fans. You can get the MP3 through the band's website! ALPHA TIGER - "Beneath The Surface" track-listing: 1. Intro (1:48) 2. The Alliance (6:11) 3. From Outer Space (4:35) 4. Waiting For A Sign (6:33) 5.

Alpha Tiger: : ready to attack with new video, album and tour

Century Media Records — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:24:19 GMT

Germany's hope for stainless steel are busy to blaze the way to their new studio album "Beneath The Surface" which is scheduled for worldwide release through Century Media Records on January 28th, 2013. The album is nearly finished as the band comments: "It took us most of June and July to record the album once again under the wings of 'Godi' Hildman in Berlin's MUSICFLASH Studio. Peter Langforth [guitar] had composed the 9 new songs and the intro over the course of the previous 6 months and spent considerable time to put them all on 'tape' over a period of two month prior to entering into the studio. To get a little impression about our work in the studio check out the following Studio-Video: www.youtube.com" Mixing and Mastering is currently in the final stages. Andreas Hilbert, another sound wizard from Berlin's Musicflash studio, is about to finish things at the beginning of October." The first single and video "From Outer Space" will be released October 26th shortly before the band goes on tour with metal beasts W.A.S.P.! See tour dates below. For each of the listed shows the band is offering two guest places. Simply mail them at info@alphatiger.de with the reference "Alpha Tiger Tour 2012" and the relevant city and the first two contenders will be awarded ! The deadline is 3rd of October, 2012!
