International heavy metal band Tanith have filmed a music video for the track \u2018Flame\u2019. Directed by Terrence Smith, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Regarding the song, vocalist \/ guitarist Russ Tippins said: \u201cTo us, \u2018Flame\u2019 is a standout track. Firstly, it\u2019s written in a major key which isn\u2019t too common in metal these days, and Cindy [Maynard, vocals and bass] plays keys on the intro! Although the lyrical theme is pretty dark, we made sure to keep the music upbeat and positive. We really had the best time making this video at Saint Vitus\u2026 enjoy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Tanith issued second full-length studio album Voyage<\/em> on April 21st, 2023 through Metal Blade Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted more of the same but different in some marginal way,\u201d commented vocalist \/ guitarist Russ Tippins (also of Satan). \u201cVoyage<\/em> is the sound of the universe speaking to mankind through the medium of Tanith. Or, if you like, twin-guitar heavy rock with dual singers which, if you grew up in the 1970s, will make you want to bounce over to the nearest record store. On a space hopper.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were hurdles to overcome in making Voyage<\/em>, first and foremost the COVID-19 lockdown, which geographically split up the band, Tippins living in the UK while vocalist \/ bassist Cindy Maynard and drummer Keith Robinson dwelt in Brooklyn, New York. <\/p>\n

Once life finally returned to \u2018normal\u2019 and Tanith were ready to record, guitarist Charlie Newton abruptly bowed out of the band the day before tracking began.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaking as one part of a two-guitar band, it felt like trying to fly with one wing,\u201d said Tippins. \u201cIt happened so suddenly we were dumbstruck. I guess we sat around for a few days thinking he was sure to walk through the door at any moment. But soon enough we realized we\u2019d have to try to find a way to make this record without Charlie and I\u2019m not just talking about laying down his lines. It\u2019s about the shared dream we had with him. The conviction he brought to that dream. The four-way belief now reduced to three.\u201d<\/p>\n

Returning to Brooklyn\u2019s Excello Recording and engineer Hugh Pool – the same combination used for tracking debut effort In Another Time<\/em> – the band produced the album themselves, with Pool mixing. \u201cJust having the time every day all day to be in the music was a big deal and all of our energy went into this project even after leaving the studio,\u201d said Cindy Maynard. \u201cWe were thinking and breathing the music, constantly working on parts and ideas. We came in well prepared overall, and that gave us time to try out different sounds for different parts to get just the thing we were looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andee Blacksugar, best known for touring with Peter Murphy and as a member of KMFDM, now also a member of Blondie, was brought in to retain Tanith\u2019s twin guitar sound.<\/p>\n

Voyage<\/em> was recorded and mastered on 24-track analog tape and has never been digitized from recording to pressing. \u201cI can think of only two other rock bands in the entire world right now that records onto 24-track analog tape,\u201d Tippins observed. \u201cIf all you\u2019ve ever known is digitally produced music you really need to listen to Voyage<\/em> on vinyl and experience the difference. And I\u2019m not talking about vinyl pressed from masters recorded on Pro Tools. At no point from tracking to pressing has any of the music on Voyage<\/em> been digitized. It will open your eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
