TYRANTS OF CHAOS Shares Their Judas Priest Inspired “Slay The Hostages”

New Album “Relentless Thirst for Power” Out Aug 19th

Lethbridge, Canada’s Tyrants of Chaos have been pillaging across Alberta with their old-school classic heavy metal and are now amping up the ante with 10 new bangers on their third studio album “Relentless Thirst for Power” set to be unleashed this coming August.

Earlier this July, they shared their first single “T.O.C.” and are ready to share their second track off the record to preview to fans. Entitled “Slay the Hostages”, Tyrants of Chaos present a Judas Priest style, ear piercing, balls-out metal assault. Lyrically similar to “T.O.C.”, “Slay the Hostages” sounds like a song about committing crimes and sacrifices, but it is simply about playing metal shows and entertaining the crowd as can be witnessed in the music video for the single via its premiere on Metal-Rules HERE.

Tyrants of Chaos‘ new album “Relentless Thirst For Power” covers a lot of topics lyrically, listeners will be able to dive into songs such as the classic Teutonic power metal track “Indoctri-Nation”, which focuses on mental health issues to the “No Lives Matter” ballad that forces one to confront their mortality; and the classic “Lucky Dog” that is reminiscent of the 80s sounds of the Big 4.

Formed in 2013 for the love and passion of music by guitarist Curtiss Vaselenak and to fill a gap in the local scene, the band originally started as a fun hard rock and metal cover band. After some shuffling, he is now joined by guitarist Arik Wagner, bassist Sean Simpson, drummer Ryan Dyck, and vocalist Phil Sirias who complete the current lineup. With many years of experience between them, they bring professionalism and solid musicianship to both the stage and the studio.

Tyrants of Chaos already have two albums under their belts, “The Calm Before The Storm” (2016) and “Into Oblivion” (2019), and this new offering consists of ten fist-pumping, head-banging tracks that were written specifically for this album. It is just scratching the surface of what the band has in store, they don’t intend to slow down anytime soon.

Heavy and loud, Tyrants Of Chaos delivers a solid pummeling of pure heavy metal. No gimmicks, no gags, just passion, and honesty. They are recommended listening for fans of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Megadeth.

The album “Relentless Thirst For Power” will be out on August 19, 2022.

==================================

The album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):
Lyrically it covers a range of topics. Musically it’s pure heavy metal from beginning to end. No filler.

Track by track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):
1. T.O.C.
Musically- Straight forward, neck-wrecking heavy metal
Lyrically- While under the guise of sounding like preparing for battle, T.O.C. is simply about playing metal shows and entertaining the crowd.

2. THE BLACK GAP
Musically- It is another heavy-hitting metal banger that the audience can really mosh to.
Lyrically- The Black Gap depicts a time in World War Two history where German U-Boats were sinking large numbers of ships in the unprotected area of the North Atlantic called “The Black Gap”

3. MOURNING SICKNESS (Tyrants Greed part 2)
Musically- A mosh-worthy banger with a darker, sludgier tone.
Lyrically- The lyrics were actually written over 10 years ago. They cover topics such as corruption, greed, ignorance, and turning a blind eye.

4. SKULL CRUSHER
Musically- A fast-paced face-melter filled with intense vocals, shredding guitars, and a thunderous rhythm section.
Lyrically- The lyrics can be interpreted in one of two ways. On the surface, it’s a song about oppression, control, and fear. Below the surface, it is about toxic relationships.

5. SLAY THE HOSTAGES
Musically- A “Priest” style, ear piercing, balls-out metal assault.
Lyrically- Similar to T.O.C. Slay the Hostages sounds like a song about committing crimes and sacrifices but it is simply about playing metal shows and entertaining the crowd.

6. RED RAGE
Musically- a “Maiden” style metal “Scottish jig” if you will.
Lyrically- Red Rage is a historically accurate depiction of the Battle Of Bannockburn.

7. NIGHTMARE MACHINE
Musically- Nightmare Machine is a slightly more progressive and melodic metal song with multiple breakdowns and emotional vocals.
Lyrically- The basic theme for this song in a word is revolution. This song promotes standing up to government overreach and oppression, brothers and sisters joining together as one, and keeping pushing forward no matter the struggle.

8. INDOCTRI-NATION
Musically- A classic Teutonic power metal song with melodic tones.
Lyrically- The lyrics are a story about someone suffering from mental health issues. The story highlights mental fears and follows an unknown individual’s journey through the hardships of life as they contemplate suicide, only to realize the power to overcome their fears is in their own hands.

9. NO LIVES MATTER
Musically- It is a slower ballad-style metal song.
Lyrically- No Lives Matter is about our short existence on this planet, and ultimately our death. It drives home the message that in the end, we all die, so don’t live your life in fear.

10. LUCKY DOG
Musically- a classic, 80’s style, fun, and entertaining heavy rocker.
Lyrically- The lyrics are specifically about NASCAR and racing. The lyrics contain NASCAR slang.

======================================

BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:

1. The entire band are a bunch of crazy cat people.
2. While playing a sold-out show at a private hall, tensions were high when the Hells Angels walked in. Intimidating? Yes, but they were there, like any other paying patron, to enjoy a rock concert.
3. Curtiss is a huge NASCAR fan so we wrote the song “Lucky Dog” as a shout-out to all the NASCAR and racing fans out there.
4. Phil is a war history nerd. Many songs in our catalog depict historically accurate events that occurred during various battles and times of war.
5. The entire band has an absolutely crazy sense of humor. During band practice, it seems like we’re cracking jokes more than playing. Humor makes us all take ourselves less seriously and keeps us grounded. Humor plays a significant role in keeping the band together as one solid unit.
