Tension

Hailing from Leipzig, Germanys TENSION was founded in 2015 by vocalist Maik H. and guitarist Phil. M. during a night of dozens of heavy metal records and unlimited amounts of beer. The band was then rounded out by ex-members of Toxic Beast and Germanys Prowler.From the beginning, TENSIONs influences were firm: the First Wave of Swedish Heavy Metal (or FWOSWHM), including the likes of Gotham City, Heavy Load, Jackwave, Parasite, Jonah Quizz, Depzon, and Stitch among others, the always-eternal NWOBHM, but particularly Satan, Traitors Gate, Wolf, Ritual, and Lime Light, heavy metal from the Eastern Bloc like Aria, Ossian, Formel I, Omen, and Pokolgp, and different kinds of punk music, but most prominently The Misfits and Discharge. In other words, the PERFECT type of band for DYING VICTIMS - and not surprisingly, TENSION released their self-titled debut EP through the label in 2017.
