Strident

Strident (Israel) release 'Paranoia of the Tyrant' music video

An Israeli thrash metal machine, Strident is heavily armed with old school riffs and the 80s vibe, having been influenced by the German thrash scene (Sodom, Destruction and Tankard), as well as the American scene (Slayer, Megadeth and Exodus) while also having its roots deep in the high-energy rock-and-roll of Motörhead.

The band have unleashed their third music video off of their latest album, 'Paranoia of the Tyrant', for its title track.

Since its inception in 2005, Strident has had three full-length studio albums and a huge number of live performances. The band's debut LP entitled 'On the Aim' came out in 2010 after which the band went on a semi-hiatus for almost a decade due to numerous lineup changes, but nevertheless Strident remained an active band playing big shows: opening for Overkill and Nervosa, to name a few. The second record, 'March of Plague', was released in 2019 through the Italian label Punishment 18 Records. It has a solid modern sound and it has been selling all over the world.

In 2020, the line-up changed again, this time the original guitarist Michael Shlyapochny became also the frontman while Yaniv Alkalay, Andrey Galchevski, Artyom Apekishev took over lead guitar, drums and bass respectively. With this line-up, the band went on 3 European tours (with Necronomicon, Archaic and Jet Jaguar) and released the third album, 'Paranoia of the Tyrant', which has received great praise both in live shows and in media spheres.

1. Hard-Bitten (03:26)
