Tanith, the Brooklyn-based quartet named after a character from Hammer Horror’s The Devil Rides Out, delivers a refreshing throwback to vintage hard rock with a modern edge. Rooted in the classic sounds of the '70s—echoing icons like Blue Öyster Cult, Wishbone Ash, and Thin Lizzy—their music channels a timeless authenticity that feels both familiar and distinct. The band’s two vocalists, Russ Tippins (also known for his work with metal pioneers Satan) and Cindy Maynard, bring a unique blend of harmony and dual-guitar riffing that creates a rich, layered sound without over-relying on heaviness or speed. Instead, melody and harmony take center stage, drawing listeners into a sonic experience that feels organic and live.
Tanith stands out by capturing the feel of a real band playing together, embracing the spontaneity of a live setting. The band’s mission is clear: to create music as a "living thing," where each member's contributions shine, and even minor imperfections add to the charm and authenticity. Their commitment to this approach is evident both in recordings and on stage, where their enjoyment and dedication are contagious. Tanith may be inspired by the past, but they breathe new life into old-school rock, making it their own with energy and passion that make them one to watch in the modern rock scene.
