ABOUT TANITH:
There’s maybe no band protecting the spirit and sound of ’70s exhausting rock and heavy metallic alive extra so than Tanith.
Fashioned in 2017, the band embraced that period wholeheartedly, leading to 2019′s aptly titled In One other Time, which immediately earned cult standing and put them on the map. Now, they return with Voyage, selecting up the place they left off and as soon as once more demonstrating their mastery with regards to this area of interest. “I needed extra of the identical however completely different in some marginal method,” explains vocalist/guitarist Russ Tippins (additionally of Devil). “Voyage is the sound of the universe chatting with mankind by the medium of Tanith. Or, for those who like, twin-guitar heavy rock with twin singers which, for those who grew up within the Seventies, will make you wish to bounce over to the closest file retailer. On an area hopper.“

I assume we sat round for just a few days pondering he was certain to stroll by the door at any second. However quickly sufficient we realized we’d must attempt to discover a method to make this file with out Charlie and I’m not simply speaking about laying down his strains. It’s in regards to the shared dream we had with him. The conviction he dropped at that dream. The four-way perception now lowered to a few.“
Returning to Brooklyn’s Excello Recording and engineer Hugh Pool – the identical mixture used for monitoring In One other Time – the band produced the album themselves, with Pool mixing. The periods had been a enjoyable time for Tanith, once more recording to tape slightly than digital and using classic amps and audio system to search out the absolute best sounds for the devices. “Simply having the time on daily basis all day to be within the music was an enormous deal and all of our vitality went into this challenge even after leaving the studio,” says Maynard. “We had been pondering and respiratory the music, consistently engaged on elements and concepts. We got here in effectively ready general, and that gave us time to check out completely different sounds for various elements to get simply the factor we had been searching for.” On condition that they established themselves as a twin-guitar band on their debut in addition they introduced in an additional participant, Andee Blacksugar, greatest recognized for touring with Peter Murphy and as a member of KMFDM, now additionally a member of Blondie, who Robinson had performed with earlier than.
With the file absolutely realized, the band are longing for individuals to listen to it, and they’re assured that it’s price taking the time to take heed to it – and expertise it – in all its old-fashioned glory. Tippins says, “I can consider solely two different rock bands in your complete world proper now that data onto 24-track analog tape. If all you’ve ever recognized is digitally produced music you actually need to take heed to Voyage on vinyl and expertise the distinction. And I’m not speaking about vinyl pressed from masters recorded on Professional Instruments. At no level from monitoring to urgent has any of the music on Voyage been digitized. It would open your eyes.”
