Good Tiger - We Will All Be Gone (2018)

Employing a blistering blend of tech-metal, prog, and hardcore, Good Tiger features a seasoned crew of modern metal machinists, including ex-Tesseract vocalist Elliot Coleman, ex-the Safety Fire guitarists Derya Nagle and Joaquin Ardiles, ex-the Faceless drummer Alex Rüdinger, and Architects bassist Morgan Sinclair. Founded in 2015, the band decided to go the independent route and crowd-fund their debut album. After securing just under $50,000, the newly minted Good Tiger unleashed their much-anticipated debut, Head Full of Moonlight, via bandcamp. Shortly thereafter, they inked a deal with Metal Blade imprint Blacklight Media, who issued a proper release of the album in April 2016. ~ James Christopher Monger.
