New Wave Of British Heavy Metal act Tygers Of Pan Tang will release a special Limited Edition album titled Tygers Sessions: The First Wave via Skol Records. The CD will be limited to only 1000 copies, and will include 11 classic songs of the band, re-recorded for the anniversary EP releases The Spellbound Sessions and The Wildcat Sessions, which were originally available through the band's fan-club and website only, and quickly sold out. The album's cover artwork has been painted by Italian artist Roberto Toderico, known for his artistic calibration's with numerous rock and metal acts.

 

 

 Commented founding member and guitarist, Robb Weir: “I am very proud of the band's history as well as the current lineup. We should never forget the Tygers history and hope this shows we will always recognise the early days of the band. There are a lot of bands that want to modernise their sound or image and forget what made them great in the beginning… I am not one of them. We are very pleased with the end result, in particular with the recorded sound achieved, it really does capture the early '80s NWOBHM spirit and feel we were looking for. To achieve that raw, almost 'live' vibe to the sound, we even replicated the microphone positioning that was used on the original recording.”

 

 

 

The Tygers Sessions: The First Wave CD will be released on February 28th, and will include thick booklet with lyrics, liner notes, and lot of previously unseen pictures.
