DOMESTIC $ 5 PLUS $ 1 EACH INTERNATIONAL $ 21 PLUS $ 7 EACH. OK TYRANT. WELL YOU ASK WHICH TYRANT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AFTER ALL METAL ARCHIVES LIST 27 BANDS CALLED TYRANT. AFTER A LONG PROCESS I FOUND IT WAS THE ONLY ONE FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM. SINCE IT WAS A NWOBHM BAND THAT MADE SENSE. KIND OF. EVEN THOUGH ALOT OF NWOBHM BANDS ARE FROM ANY PLACE BUT BRITAIN. Tyrant's "The Complete Anthology" is perhaps one of the most underrated collections in NWOBHM history. For starters, there are numerous Tyrants in the heavy metal community from all different parts of the world; such as Germany, America, and Britain. If one were to search "Tyrant" in the Metal Archive's search engine, chances are one would get a list of close to twenty different bands. Despite this reality, this Tyrant is able to stand out on behalf of their consistency with catchy riffs, galloping hooks, and their ability to provide NWOBHM fans with a solid band that reflects both the genre and its playing style at its finest. The album is a collection of Tyrant's best songs from their demos and other live recordings. Their sound quality is neither under produced nor overly clean which does the band justice as it allows the listener to experience their music at face value without too much interruption by static or phony sound enhancers. Also, the musicianship adds to the overall experience as it displays the strong vocal style of Mark Kelser, whose raspy and energetic voice is more reminiscent of Lothar Antoni of the German band, Trance, or Peter De Wint of the Belgian band Crossfire, compared to the cleaner vocals of Biff Byford or Sean Harris.
If the vocals weren't enough to make this band stand out, the guitar work, which is the brainchild of Jim Merrit, Gary Adkins, and Bassist Pete Antonius, displays catchy riffs, seen in songs like "We've Surrendered," and heavy gallops, or the song "Hold Back the Lightning" are strongly reminiscent of early Iron Maiden. In addition to this, songs such as "Take it to the Dragon" and "Lost and Lonely" present laid-back, acoustic driven melodies reminiscent of Jaguar's "Master Game" or Iron Maiden's "Strange World." Also, Mark Walker's drumming is not only able to keep up with the flashy guitar riffs, but he manages to go beyond the call of duty by adding in fills that could normally have been substituted for simpler rhythms. An example of this is seen in the pre-solo of the song "Clash of the Titans." very hard to find copies especially new discog hasA COPY FOR $ 110
All in all, Tyrant's "The Complete Anthology" does not disappoint. The music stays consistent throughout and is able to stand out amongst their simpler and better produced NWOBHM counterparts. There is nothing negative to say about this collection and as a result one feels that it is a shame that such a band did not receive more attention, especially being one of the first bands to name themselves Tyrant. Despite this, Britain's Tyrant is an exceptional band worthy of being ranked alongside Jaguar, Quartz, and Tygers of Pan Tang and provides the listener with quality heavy metal.
