BLACK TIDE

Light From Above

 

Gabriel Garcia – lead vocals, guitar

Zakk Sandler – bass

Steven Spence – drums

Austin Diaz – guitar

 

 

Black Tide come out of the gate with all guns blazing. Their Interscope Records debut, Light from Above,
is a loaded salvo of fret-burning, hyper-charged riffs. The Florida
quartet churns out fist-pumping, fast-paced metallic anthems with no
remorse. Their sound channels the forefathers of heavy metal, but with
a dose of 21st century attitude.

Cuts like “Shockwave,” “Warriors of Time” and “Show Me The Way” pack enough explosive energy to ignite any crowd.

 

Vocalist
and guitarist Gabriel started singing and playing guitar at
eight-years-old, and he knew that’s what he was meant to do the second
he donned an axe. “When I started playing, I was like, ‘This is what I
have to do.’ I don’t want to be a fucking lawyer or some shit like
that. I told my family I wanted to play heavy metal. My parents have
supported my decision the whole time. Anyone else would’ve been like,
‘Shut up! Go to school!’”

 

Gabriel’s intense immersion
into music has paid off. He formed Black Tide along with bassist Zakk
Sandler and original guitarist Alex Nunez in 2003. Drummer Steven
Spence would join their ranks in 2006, and after an incendiary
performance at that year’s Florida Music Festival, Interscope signed
the band. Black Tide recorded their debut, Light from Above, at
Groovemaster Studios, with Johnny K (Disturbed, Machine Head, Soil) in
2007. As soon as it was finished, the four lads hit the road on OZZfest
2007′s main stage alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Lamb of God and Static-X.
Immediately, they began to build a buzz because of their no-holds
barred approach to infectious, arena-ready heavy metal.

 

Zakk
sums up the band’s sound perfectly. “Black Tide sounds like four pissed
off teenagers who listen to too much good music. When we come together,
we make something special. We love Iron Maiden, Pantera, Metallica and
Guns ‘N’ Roses, but we don’t try to be anything we’re not. We just get
up on stage and do what we love.”

 

Leading up to Light from Above‘s
March 18, 2008 release, the band toured with the likes of Avenged
Sevenfold, Bullet for My Valentine and All that Remains. Garnering
instant acclaim, Light From Above sent a “shockwave” of its own through the scene. Rolling Stone named Black Tide one of the “Best Rookies of 2008” and “Metal’s New Teen Titans,” Spin tapped them as one of the “Next Big Things,” while Revolver featured them as a “Band To Watch” and included them on the cover of the August 2008 Mayhem issue, and Kerrang! proclaimed them “Best International Newcomer.” The band followed its release with an appearance on the inaugural Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival alongside Slipknot and Disturbed as well as playing the main stage of Download 2008.

 

After Download,
Alex and the band amicably parted ways. Black Tide added guitarist
Austin Diaz to the fold, and he’s been the perfect fret foil for
Gabriel. “Austin is awesome. He learned all of our songs in two days,
before the first date of Mayhem. We played the show, and he killed it,” Gabriel says.

 

In
the end, Black Tide are ready for anything. Gabriel’s excited for what
the future holds. “The band is so united now. We’ve never been together
like this before. Black Tide’s stronger than ever.” That strength will
only lead to bigger and better things. Zakk concludes, “The kids want
more, and I want more out of us everyday. We’re like that arena rock
band who just hasn’t made it to the arenas, yet.” It’s only a matter of
time until they do.
