Band information

Tyrant came to be in Hobart in 1982 and eventually moved to the Sydney scene where they developed a reasonable profile and went on to headline Metal Crusade in April 1985. A hard-riffing heavy boogie band in the AC/DC/Rose Tattoo mixed with 80s style metal, Tyrant featured strong lead vocals from Wilson.

In late 1998 the band reformed and has since released a couple of albums of loud, blues-drenched metal. Tyrant was on hold for some time as Wilson worked with another outfit called Roadkill but in 2005 the band was reformed and recorded a live CD. Save the Devil is due in October 2010.
