Tiger Cult
by METALSITES.net @ May 14th, 2005Biography
Tiger Cult hails from the city of São Paulo, and was originally called Angry Angel. Among the noise, the pollution and the ever-growing violence of their hometown, the band forged it’s distinct style, delivering pure aggression that is fused with all kinds of musical influences - raging from Van Halen to Carcass.
On the road since 1996, and matured by their extensive local touring, Tiger Cult felt it was time to record their first album. Teaming up with Die Hard Records, their intention was to offer the listener a top class record, one of a high level of artistic integrity, with top notch production. Cold and Terrible, the result of this team effort, was recorded, mixed and mastered at Nimbus Studios, in São Paulo. The album showcases eleven songs of the purest Heavy Metal, lyrically eclectic, and filled with the necessary dose of aggression – something that seemed to be missing in the local scenario.
The line-up that recorded the album changed right after the mastering sessions, with the rythm guitar, Renato, moving on to focus on his job as a web designer the drummer and the bassist went on to pursue different musical projects. The creative core of the band, however, stays intact, as Marina Takahashi and Eric Piccelli continue to sail the boat. Now they are joined by, Daniel Costa (b) and Rodrigo Alonso (d).
The cult is now stronger than ever.
