Press Release: BLACK TIDE Tour W/ Avenged Sevenfold + New CD

BLACK TIDE burst onto the metal scene with a month-long stint opening up the
main stage of Ozzfest. It's no coincidence that at the young ages of 14
(Gabe-vocals, guitar) 18, (Zakk- bass and Alex-lead guitar) and 19 (Steven-
drums), Black Tide already has an Ozzfest notch on their belt and are
getting ready for their major label debut. The February release, Light From
Above, is a heavy hitting, heart pounding album. It will bring back memories
of explosive '80's metal to some and introduce a harder rocking sound to
those who are too young to remember.



Confident stage presence and jaw dropping skill is what attracted Ozzfest to
Black Tide, yet their ages caused them to be kicked off the
Jagermeister-sponsored stage. Festival organizers and fans alike were
outraged and as a result, Black Tide found themselves on the main stage
opening up for Ozzy Osbourne and Lamb of God. Black Tide was embraced by the
bands and fans all summer. They felt the same, especially Zakk who said,
"Opening for Ozzy was like playing for God!"



Fresh off the main stage at Ozzfest, Black Tide is ready for a six-week tour
supporting Avenged Sevenfold.
