If you're lookin for a metal band who doesn't scream or growl or whatsoever, dead solos, stunning vocals and performance, then pick this band! Whatever your genre is, listen to this band first!

Black Tide is an American heavy metal band from Miami, Florida. Formed in 2004, the band is currently signed to Interscope Records. The band is currently lined of Gabriel Garcia (vocals and lead guitar), Austin Diaz (rhythm guitar and vocals), Zachary Sandler (bass and vocals), and Steven Spence (drums, percussion).They mix thrash, glams, and some metalcore progressions into their song and made a kickin ass album, Light from Above.

First, Gabriel has now just turned 20 (correct this if im wrong). Take that into mind when first listening to this band (currently average age is around 20-24) and behold how stellar they are as musicians. Then again, that thing becomes controversial for some people. Some may see this factor as the selling point for the band. Black Tide have to struggle a little bit before truly being taken seriously by the Metal elite and their fans, but this record is solid, and flawless, which is often becomes a problem in debuts. They play like a band that has played for years, which is great, especially considering the age of the members. The "Hits" here are "Shockwave", "Warriors Of Time", the Metallica cover "Hit The Lights" and closer "Light From Above". Those are the singles, but All songs in their album "Light From Above" are GREAT.

They take Megadeth, Metallica, Pantera and some metalcore bands like Trivium as influences. Well, they chose the good one. What about their live performances? They jump, bang, kick and run without making any big mistakes. Solo? Don't even asked that! All Black Tide members are HIGH SKILLED. They play solo accurately and clean. The only minus for this band is that Gabriel's vocal is deeper now, and he started to scream, not sing. Overall, for a fresh-young band, this band will blow your ears!
