Black Tide is an American heavy metal band from Miami, Florida. Formed in 2004, the band is currently signed to Interscope Records. The original band comprised Gabriel Garcia (vocals and guitar), Alex Nuñez (guitar) it is now Austin Diaz, Zachary Sandler (bass and vocals), and Steven Spence (drums). Black Tide has toured on Ozzfest, and with Avenged Sevenfold and All That Remains. They also played the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio. The band released its debut album, Light From Above, on March 18, 2008.
Black Tide was founded in Miami, Florida in 2004 by guitarist Gabriel Garcia and his older brother Raul Garcia. Raul recruited second guitarist Alex Nuñez. At the time, Gabriel Garcia was 11 years old and Nuñez was just 13 years old. Garcia and Nuñez recruited bassist Zachary Sandler and drummer Steven Spence, after Raul’s departure from the group. This completed the band’s lineup. Originally known as Radio, the band’s name was changed to Black Tide by Interscope records soon after its inception. The band started playing local shows, eventually gaining the attention of record labels due to the members’ young age and talent. In 2005, Black Tide signed a demo deal with Atlantic Records as Radio. The deal lasted for only a year, before the band was spotted by a record executive for EMI, who notified Interscope Records of the band. By mid 2007, Black Tide was signed on to Interscope.

[2] Listening to Light From Above now, I remember hearing these guys for the first time and thinking they had so much raw potential and looking forward to what they could mature into. Depressing that they decided to turn into another commercially pleasing angst outlet.

So, If they don't go back to their metal style, they're destinated to the ostracism. Am I correct? #oldblacktiderules #newonesucks #goddamninterscoperecords They should taste this bitter sensation and then, search for a real recorder that takes them of their real way...

Light From Above wasnt a thrash record, is more like a combination of many classic metal influences including power, thrash, speed and traditional metal lacking a bit of balls i must say... btw post mortem sucks

Saw them open for Iron Maiden in April. They were terrible! They didn't energize the crowd or anything. The funniest thing though was them trying to start a Wall of Death with a bunch of middle-aged metalheads. Needless to say, they didn't get very many (if any) cheers from the crowd.
