  BLACK TIDE Set To Tour With Avenged Sevenfold + New CD 2008 on Interscope!

BLACK TIDE burst onto the metal scene with a month-long stint opening up the main stage of Ozzfest. It’s no coincidence that at the young ages of 14 (Gabe-vocals, guitar) 18, (Zakk- bass and Alex-lead guitar) and 19 (Steven- drums), Black Tide already has an Ozzfest notch on their belt and are getting ready for their major label debut. The February release, Light From Above, is a heavy hitting, heart pounding album. It will bring back memories of explosive '80's metal to some and introduce a harder rocking sound to those who are too young to remember.

Confident stage presence and jaw dropping skill is what attracted Ozzfest to Black Tide, yet their ages caused them to be kicked off the Jagermeister-sponsored stage. Festival organizers and fans alike were outraged and as a result, Black Tide found themselves on the main stage opening up for Ozzy Osbourne and Lamb of God. Black Tide was embraced by the bands and fans all summer. They felt the same, especially Zakk who said, “Opening for Ozzy was like playing for God!”

Fresh off the main stage at Ozzfest, Black Tide is ready for a six-week tour supporting Avenged Sevenfold.
