Hailing from Leipzig, Germany’s TENSION was founded in 2015 by vocalist
Maik H. and guitarist Phil. M. during a night of dozens of heavy metal records
and unlimited amounts of beer. The band was then rounded out by ex-members of
Toxic Beast and Germany’s Prowler.
From the beginning, TENSION’s influences were firm: the First Wave of
Swedish Heavy Metal (or FWOSWHM), including the likes of Gotham City, Heavy
Load, Jackwave, Parasite, Jonah Quizz, Depzon, and Stitch among others; the
always-eternal NWOBHM, but particularly Satan, Traitors Gate, Wolf, Ritual, and
Lime Light; heavy metal from the Eastern Bloc like Aria, Ossian, Formel I,
Omen, and Pokolgép; and different kinds of punk music, but most prominently The
Misfits and Discharge. In other words, the PERFECT type of band for DYING
VICTIMS – and not surprisingly, TENSION released their self-titled debut EP
through the label in 2017. Gigs followed with the esteemed likes of Manilla
Road, Satan, Pagan Altar, Tokyo Blade, and Alien Force among others.
Now, nearly five years since the Tension short-length, TENSION unleash
their debut album, Decay. Right from its very first seconds, Decay sparkles
with an excitement that’s absolutely addicting and endearingly timeless,
running through a virtual jukebox of Old but brimming with the effervescence of
Now. It’s pure heavy metal, through and through, with juiced-up hard rock and
moody punk subtly integrated, and the power is always in abundance but never
overbearing; TENSION’s cool & cruising momentum harkens to a lost era of
feel over sheer speed. At the fore are nightsky-ascending lead guitars, whose
narrative melodies straddle a fine line between metal classicism and something
closer to dark hard rock. And Maik’s clear ‘n’ emotive vocals bespeak bathos
and pathos, bravado but tenderness, epic adventures as well as long nights at
the bar.
The cassette and CD versions of Decay will include nine tracks, with the
self-titled EP added to the latter as bonus tracks. The vinyl version of the
album will include eight tracks due to length, with the extra track saved for a
split EP to be released later in 2022. In the meantime, no better time to
experience the “Higher Power” of TENSION’s Decay!
