Bio:
Tymo (pronounced tie-mo) is a Canadian Thrash Metal band based out of Edmonton, Alberta.TYMO named after guitar player and vocalist Tim Tymo.“A golden shower of thrash metal!” Six words to sum up Tymo! A band whose attitude lives up to the title of their debut album “Purge & Reset”. Lead guitarist and vocalist Tim Tymo explains that the origin of the title is more than words; it is a statement of lost faith in humanity. “Let’s just say we have a creator or superior being. If this god gave up everything we needed to flourish and returned to see all the wars and corruption, it would want to wipe the slate clean and start over. Hence…PURGE AND RESET!Formed in Edmonton in 2015, Tymo is comprised of Tim Tymo as the lead guitarist and vocalist, Nick Schwartz on rhythm guitar, Harlen Jacobs on bass, and Marc Durie on drums.Tim Tymo describes the band’s sounds as “loud, angry, and explosive thrash”. Tymo has a serious mission to entertain their fans. “We love writing and performing, and we all share a common passion for thrash metal. We wanted to reference our heroes and mix up that inspiration with our own brew and see what we came up with, and here we are. We want to give people a source of inspiration and excitement!Tymo’s debut album “Purge & Reset” was released in August of 2017 and Tymo performed shows in support of the album throughout 2018. The band returned to the studio in early 2019 to record a single entitled “Sanity Clause.” It was released in late 2019 with very positive reviews and sold-out shows! Due to Covid 19, the band spent much of 2020 in the studio recording their follow-up album to Purge & Reset!As of 2021, Tymo performed at the Loud As Hell Festival 2021 and has finished recording their next full-on thrash album! Much faster and more aggressive than Purge & Reset. The album entitled “The Art of A Maniac” is planned to be released in 2022 and Tymo has a mission to expand its audience and dominate the world! Planning to tour Europe and many other countries.
Album:
After 2020 brought any plans they might have had to play more shows around their 2017 debut album “Purge & Reset“, Tymo entered the studio and continued to work on their sophomore album with 2019 single “Sanity Clause” as the foundation. The aim was simple. Create a record that could open the door to World domination for years to come, allowing them to play to audiences far and wide in nations far, far away from their native Edmonton Canada. Having gained the experience of touring with fellow Thrash revivalists Hazzerd and WMD as well as performing at a myriad of festivals, who can blame Tim Tymo as the lead guitarist and vocalist, Nick Schwartz on rhythm guitar, Harlen Jacobs on bass and Marc Durie on drums for wanting to become Thrash Gods?In the World of Tymo there is no holding back and no time to waste as scores are settled and riffs fly like bullets with deadly accuracy, leaving no place to hide and no time to run for cover. The fretboard smoking Speed Thrash attack begins with instrumental “Tymonicide“, the conjoined twin of “Sanity Clause” as together like Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid they blast their way out of the record and into your unsuspecting ear drums. Standing still isn’t an option, headbanging is essential, horns must be raised to salute the four horsemen of the apocalypse as they return. Lyrically while “The Art Of A Maniac” isn’t considered a concept album there is a narrative of chaos and destruction that runs through the albums very heart as Tymo himself rants and raves about things like substance abuse, mental illness and alien invasion, all the while putting a modern style on the delivery you would expect from a San Francisco bay area Thrash act circa 1987. The whammy bar drop solo at the end of the anthemic old school Exodus like “Mars Attacks” is the chef’s kiss that flows from one unrelenting rampage to another in “Estrogenocide” which itself has a blistering solo to savour. The transitions are slick, the speed is breakneck and everything has groove and gallop and compared with the bands previous album, this is streets ahead; a runaway train leaving behind a trail of flames and destruction as you wonder what you just heard. It’s more focused, more developed and more well rounded, if “Purge and Reset” was a blunt force trauma then “The Art Of a Maniac” is the razor sharp blade.Both “Age Of Deception” and the breathless “The Roy Parson Project” keep things fresh with a couple of funky bass drives from Harlen Jacobs thrown down for good measure while both take on the subject of how technology is destroying the fabric of humanity from different angles while clearly being inspired by the first couple of Megadeth records. The vocal layering on “War Beneath The Skull” is masterfully done, giving a split personality trade off between unclean and clean vocals as if Tymo is fighting himself inside his head, the lyrics coming full circle to the angry, fast and straight to the face “Sanity Clause“. It maybe groovier and have some technically more progressive riffage but it has exactly the same lightening energy and breakneck pace; the quartet know nothing else, they can not play anything that isn’t fast, loud and Thrash. If it’s not explosive, it’s not on the agenda, it’s as simple as that. The album ends with the kind of party anthem that Municipal Waste are known for in “Alcoholocaust“, a tale of drunken debauchery that everyone can relate to and in that enhance the fun factor that this album has tenfold. The musicianship it top notch throughout so that only leaves us to say one thing: Welcome to the dawn of a new age. The age of Tymo.
