TORPEDO  - Mechanic Tyrants (NEW*GER SPEED METAL*EXCITER*TANK*RAVEN)

Gates Of Hell Records 2020 - Reissue of energetic speed metallers debut demo, complete with new cover art!

For Fans of Raven, Exciter, TANK, early Running Wild, early Metallica

Conceptually, the Mechanic Tyrants title is inspired by The Terminator movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, where the theme of man versus machine perfectly suits the bands razor-sharp cross of vintage speed metal and NWOBHM, with a very strong Raven and Tank influence.

A six-song collection of brash, feisty speed metal from one of Germanys best new up-and-coming bands. Originally formed in November 2018 as a side-project with the goal of covering old-school metal songs while peppering in a few of their own compositions, the origins of Torpëdo lay with guitarist Alex Starbreaker, who first formed a band using the Torpëdo name several years ago. That particular band didnt quite pan out, so when the collective of Flo Fait (vocals/guitars), Danny Keck (bass) and Phil Sreý (drums) met up, it was a no-brainer to brand themselves as Torpëdo. According to Keck, the name is simple, easy to remember, made of metal, stuffed with explosives and brings destruction. Looking to strike while the creative irons were hot, the members of Torpëdo improvised the music and wrote the lyrics to several of Mechanic Tyrants? songs while they were recording, only adding to its raw and natural feel
