]]> Last week when Black Tide’s Light From Above was released I also posted a video interview I did with the band before the Charlotte show on March 3rd. Along with that I started a contest that you can enter here as well. Contest rules are simple. Comment once and your entered to win. The prizes are an autographed 4X4 press photo of the band, the Shockwave EP, a Black Tide Stiker and Min-poster. You must be a resident of Canada or The United States to enter (Because shipping isn’t cheap overseas…you know, to like Mexico). Winner will be chosen at random and announced at the end of the month.

]]> blacktidephoto.jpgIf you have been following along, you have seen me post press releases for Black Tide, the young thrash metal band out of Florida that has been touring with Avenged Sevenfold (you know how I feel about A7X) and did some time on Ozzfest.

Yesterday I received the 2 song ep. While I feel this band has a lot of potential I do have just one complaint, but I’ll get to that in a second. If you’ve watched the video you can see that they are obviously very young and extremely talented and have that sound of an 80’s thrash band. Instrumentally and vocally they kick ass. What I don’t like from what I have heard are the lyrics. With the songs full of “I am’s” and “We are’s” it all seems kinda…immature. When I say immature, I don’t mean immature as in juvenile and childish. I mean it sounds like I suppose it should, young, if you know what I mean. These guys are young and their lyric development needs some work, perhaps some help from a good producer or a veteran (metal) song writer.

Other than the lyrics, they have a great metal sound and I think if managed well, Black Tide could go a long way.
