Tantric 'The End Begins' album

The Louisville, KY platinum selling hard rock band TANTRIC make their triumphant return to the scene with The End Begins, in stores today. Working yet again with Producer and ‘6th band member,’ Toby Wright (Slayer, Alice In Chains,Korn, Corrosion of Conformity) the band has created a sound that hits you hard and sticks in your head.

The First single, "Down & Out" is currently at #24 and climbing on the BDS Active Rock chart and is getting significant airplay at both the Active and Alternative Rock stations across the country. Leading the way are WRIF/Detroit, WIYY/Baltimore, KOMP/Las Vegas, WRZX/Indianapolis, WXTX/Pittsburgh, Music Choice, Sirius & XM.

The story of TANTRIC is far from over. One listen to the band’s brand new material and it all begins again! The End Begins truly closes the door on what TANTRIC used to be and shows rock fans everywhere what can be done with talent, passion and a unique take on what modern Rock & Roll should sound like.The End Begins features 11 new tracks including a guest appearance by Kevin Martin, lead vocalist of Candlebox on “The One”.

Tantric was formed by three former members of Days Of The New: Jesse Vest, Todd Whitener, and Matt Taul, with the addition of Merge singer, Hugo Ferreira. They were signed to Maverick Records in 1999, and recorded their self-titled debut with producer, Toby Wright in 2000. The record was released in February 2001 and went platinum thanks to the strength of the single "Breakdown" and the band's extensive touring with the likes of Kid Rock and Creed. Tantric's second Wright produced album, After We Go, was released in February 2004, preceded by the single "Hey Now". Described as heavier than their first record, After We Go debuted at #56 on the Billboard 200. Between 2005 and 2007, Vest, Whitener and Taul all decided to move on from Tantric, leaving lead singer Hugo Ferreira to start the search for a new band. Ferreira enlisted former Fuel drummer Kevin Miller, Joe Pessia (guitarist Dramagods), Erik Leonhardt (bassist), and Marcus Ratzenboeck (electric violin) as new members of the band. Shortly thereafter, Tantric announced their deal with the Silent Majority Group record label, and their new management company, JHMP.
