“Tiger Blood” is the seventh album from Swedish stoner rock band The Quill since they appeared on the scene in the early 90s. It is released by Metalville on the 24th May. The band have built up a solid fan base on the strength of their previous albums and many years of touring and they won’t be disappointed by “Tiger Blood”.
There are some excellent tracks on the “Tiger Blood” and I’d recommend the album even if you haven’t heard the band before or aren’t too sure about the “stoner” rock genre. My favourite tracks are “Freak Parade”, “Go Crazy”, “Greed Machine” and “Purgatory Hill”
“Tiger Blood” sees the return of original bassist Roger Nilsson and is the second album featuring vocalist Magnus Arnar. The core team of Christian Carlsson on guitar and George Atlagic on drums is unchanged since the band formed.

About “NI Rocks Recommends”
I'm not a reviewer but wanted to acknowledge some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI by artists, promoters and labels both within and outside of N Ireland. That was the idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends”. I'm not giving marks or ratings, trying to categorise bands or compare artists. The albums that I’ll be recommending would be those I’d buy myself, so there’ll be a strong focus on “classic rock” sounds; however you wish to define that! What you won’t get is death metal or similar genres. Each to his own, but that ain’t what I choose to listen to!
To be honest I’m not really a big fan of the whole idea of “Reviews” as they’re simply one person’s opinion!! “NI Rocks Recommends” is therefore just my personal recommendation. Let's just say that if I've went to the bother of writing this, I think it's worth taking a listen to and you’ll be hearing it played on my shows on Rock Radio NI!!
