TANTRUM is a fairly unknown true metal outfit hailing from Dayton, New Jersey. Their only release "Trenton City Murders" was recorded in the cold winter of 1985 and comes in a plain black cover with a silver sticker on it, no lyrics included. It was released on the very small label Rock Dream Records which also bestowed upon us the great HEATHEN'S RAGE EP. And that is a good comparsion.
TANTRUM offer us very good US Metal that is not an inch weaker than many of your favorites. Above all stands the Power Hymn >Knights of Fire<, an amazing heroic tune with great and high vocals that sends shivers down your spine! More enjoyable listening is hard to find.
