After a decade-long hiatus, Black Tide has officially returned, marking their comeback with a cover of Thin Lizzy‘s 1976 classic “The Boys Are Back In Town”. A new music video for the track has also just been released online, giving fans a first glimpse of the band back in action.
Vocalist and guitarist Gabriel Garcia spoke about the reunion and what it means for the band’s future: “‘Back to the roots’ means going back to where Black Tide truly began. It started with just me and my brother Raul writing songs as kids… We built this music dream together and we’re picking it back up.
“This chapter is about honoring that core and letting the music lead again. No pressure, no expectations — just creation. We’re also absolutely open to bringing in the other OG members and have been in talks with them! Let’s build this thing back up together & see where we can take it. Original music, live shows, and more all in the works! LOOK OUT”
Black Tide first gained attention as a teenage metal band, earning a deal with Interscope Records and securing a spot on Ozzfest. Their youth posed unique challenges during that era, including age restrictions at some venues due to festival sponsorship by Jägermeister.
Black Tide released three records during their original run as a band – Light from Above in 2008, Post Mortem in 2011, and Chasing Shadows in 2015.
