Breaking out with their self-titled debut EP in 2018, San Diego, USA’s Eddie and Seb Vazquez brother duo that makes Tzimani are excited to announce their first full-length album entitled “I Feel Fine” set for release this coming November 15th on Glory or Death Records (Vinyl) and Noize Cartel (Digital).
Picking up right where the 2018 EP dropped off, “I Feel Fine” features the same elements of catchy hooks, clean rhythms, and dynamic vocal lines. However, there are bits of deviation when it comes to injecting new elements. Fans will hear an added synthesizer for some of the tracks, an exploration into AOR rock, and some expressions of today’s modern music scene for this collection of eight songs of their finest hour adds.
Drummer Sebastien Vazquez comments:
“You know those albums that you listen to over and over again and you just know when the first song hits your sense of familiarity, nostalgia, warmth, and comfort? That is what we are trying to encapsulate. The album is straightforward heavy metal mixed with modern elements with a dash of AOR and we feel it is the best representation to show everyone what we are capable of. We are also trying to represent the future of the band and give everyone an entry into some of the larger questions that we struggle with and how we choose to represent that with our songwriting. We are not the type of band that is capable of singing about stories, dragons, and swords, but we excel at writing tunes that people can genuinely relate to and connect with.”
Releasing the album’s first single “We Stand and Fight” this past July, Tzimani, is unveiling its next preview to the record with the track “Haunting”, a song about toxic relationships and people having the courage to walk away from them. The song is infused with a driving synth-heavy pulse that not only carries the mid-tempo piece with elegance and eloquence it also pieces it all together with a melancholy timbre. It is one of Tzimani’s favorite songs to play and it really opens the dynamic capabilities of the band and what they can achieve sonically.
“This is the next song we are releasing to genuinely hype the release of the record and we feel that it is the most dynamic piece we have ever released given the nature of the added synthesizer part alongside a melancholic atmosphere. It still has all the parts that make the song a Tzimani tune with a heartbeating rhythmic riff with layers of change all throughout the piece. The drums and how they accompany the overall orchestration of the arrangement do a good job of providing energy during all of the key moments of the song as it transitions from verse to chorus to solo break, to solo. It has been a live staple for us for a couple of years now and we are eager to see the response of how folks receive it. For us, we wanted to put together a mid-tempo song that kept things fresh and we really think we were able to do that with Haunting”,
adds Sebastien Vazquez.
Rebuilding the momentum that was lost during the pandemic years, Tzimani is hitting the ground with a renewed vigor and sense of excitement to bring their music and live performance to places to those familiar with them and beyond and recapture the support of all the fans they left hanging over the last five years to let them know that they are back full force.
The fearless gruesome twosome of Tzimani is recommended for fans of Van Halen, Haunt, Striker, Traveler, Skull Fist, and Cauldron.
