Bristol's classic rockers with a modern roll, Tax The Heat, are set to release of their full length Nuclear Blast Entertainment debut, Fed To The Lions on April 8th. It's evident when listening to the band's catchy new offering that the album was recorded live so we asked frontman Alex Veale and drummer Jack Taylor to explain why they opted to do this in a world split by technology, when surely having the ability to record the parts and mix the album without that pressure of playing live would have been the easier option? Watch what they had to say, here!

Fed To the Lions perfectly illustrates why there is so much excitement at the release of this album. Previous singles 'Some Sympathy', 'Highway Home' and 'Fed To The Lions' sit alongside future classics such as "Caroline," "Animals," and "Stood On the Platform To Leave." The driving rhythms of Jack Taylor (Drums) and Antonio Angotti (Bass) are overlaid with the powerful riffs of JP Jacyshyn (Guitars) and the distinctive melodies of Alex Veale (Vocals, Guitars).

"TAX THE HEAT is a great band, as tight as duck's arse, and much better looking. I hear the new record is great too." - Danny Bowes, Thunder

"These guys are easily the best new band I have heard in years!" - Scott Gorham, Thin Lizzy & Black Star Riders

"So the music business has taken a bit of a tumble but there are talented hungry, young bands out there who can build a new foundation. The bold and brilliant Bristol outfit TAX THE HEAT is one of those bands that soars above the rest. Their song 'Fed to the Lions' is already a true classic rock track and they've only just begun!" - Joey Tempest, Europe

The band recently premiered the official video for new track "Animals," which can be viewed over on the Nuclear Blast YouTube channel.

The video was created by Louis Catlett from Rataplan Films, who created the Fed To The Lions video too.

The band commented: "'Animals' is a great example of what our debut album has to offer, hard hitting, high energy rock and roll. We played around with the song for a while but it was when we were in the studio that we somehow landed on that big chorus riff, and the song suddenly made sense. We shot the video with a Bristol based company Rataplan, which was an easy video shoot for us - Louis (director) really captured the energy and vibe of the song."
