I Feel Fine

    
       
       
       
     
             
Tzimani are a heavy metal band from the USA formed in 2017 by the Vasquez brothers, Eddie (vocals, guitar, bass) and Sebastian (drums), releasing the bands self titled debut E.P. in 2018 - 'Tzimani' E.P. receiving a re-issue in 2020 as a twelve song expanded edition which also included all three songs from the bands 2017 demo, along with covers of classic Dio and W.A.S.P. songs. The bands full length debut album 'I Feel Fine' was released in 2024...    
             
...featuring eight new songs across a blistering thirty three minutes of fast paced pounding heavy metal. And when I say "pounding heavy metal", I mean old school yet modern, Tzimani redefining their sound with a new direction that's gonna see them surge into a new era - 'We Stand And Fight' exploding into life and powering on with phenomenal speed, the iconic metal gallop rising high in the air! Fast paced and instantly head bang-able, 'We Stand And Fight' is a sensational album opener, grabbing everyone's attentions and holding them tight as 'Breaker' roars outta the gate with an incredible NWOBHM feel - the kinda feel you get with the magical mix of metal and rock.    
             
The San Diego duo have delivered a stunning double delight to launch the bands first full length album, the energy and oomph of the opening brace kept very high by 'Hold On', the sound of classic metal filling the air just like an in concert smoke machine does! 'Hold On' is massively melodic, infectious too, Tzimani turning heads with a barnstorming treble of terrific head bang ability - 'Haunting' planting its foot firmly on the old school heavy metal monitor to maintain the glorious metal and rock mix! The band are attracting rockers as well metallers here, crossing genre borders and breaking down barriers to widen their fanbase further than ever before! And with an electrifying turn of speed, 'Endless Road' storms off at high velocity, Tzimani increasing the heaviness tenfold to incorporate just a little bit o' thrash into their sound! The hustling, bustling nature of 'Endless Road' is in stark contrast to everything heard so far, the band widening their fanbase yet again!    
             
And returning the iconic metal gallop to the fore, 'Bleeding Life' injects even more energy and oomph than felt across the albums first half, the Californian brothers running riot all across metal territory to deliver a breathless yet relentless, energy driven barrage of infectious heavy metal! 'I Feel Fine' has been non-stop head bang ability since it began, 'Empty' emphatically maintaining that trend, the band keeping the pedal firmly pressed to the metal! And again Tzimani lean towards the heavier end of metal territory here to keep the heads of every listener, fan and follower on the fucking planet vigorously rocking back and forth! The eighth and final song on the album is the title song 'I Feel Fine', and with an explosive turn of speed, the band storm off faster than the speed of light - the necks of every metalhead flexing further than is surely humanely possible in order just to keep pace with the band! A stunning finale to an all out metal attack, 'I Feel Fine' (the album) deserves to be listened to many more times than just the once (or twice).    
             
Overall, a non-stop rollercoaster of relentless heavy metal, 'I Feel Fine' is one hundred percent infectious with immense head bang ability.
