Packer Country rowdy metal rockers Tantivy streaming two songs "I Am The Wolf" and "Cut 'Em Loose" in anticipation of January 2021 EP Eyes In the Night

Check out some rough-and-ready heavy metal rock and roll by the name of Tantivy. The music is direct, rocking and fun, and a bit kind of angry, like a band that loves to play in front of whoever is ready for some loud, upfront, fast rock and roll. You don't even to have to pay them with money, just pay them in burgers, fries and a couple of drinks, and they're ready to entertain the rock-starved home crowd in the best state in the whole country, Wisconsin, of course. Listen to these two songs now and be ready for more of the same contagious energy. -Metal Bulletin Zine

ABOUT: With the drive of Motörhead, the hooks of Judas Priest, and the thrash acrobatics of Toxic Holocaust, Wisconsin duo Tantivy is chomping at the bit of traditional heavy metal. Guitarist, bassist, and vocalist Adam Geurink is joined by drummer Jon Zimick in a musical match made in hell. While certainly a departure from Guerink's crust-influenced outfit WARDEHNS, Tantivy is no less imposing. Its rousing guitar lines, pummeling drums, and clever composition are complemented by Guerink's gritty vocal delivery. In five short tracks, Tantivy -- named for an archaic word meaning a rapid gallop or ride -- makes an impression that can often take years to muster. When Geurink snarls "Heavy metal's all I bleed" at unknown antagonist in the track "Houndin Ya," you know it's the truth. Tantivy will release a teaser single later this year and their debut EP is expected in January 2021. Trad metal fans, don't sleep on this powerful new band. FFO: Judas Priest, Dio, Toxic Holocaust, Motörhead, old Metallica, 3 Inches of Blood
