There are at least 9 bands with this name:

1. Tyrant are a hard rock/heavy metal band from Tasmania, Australia.

The band originally formed in the early 1980s as an AOR band called Slyder. In 1982, the band changed their name to Tyrant and began playing a harder-edged style of blues-influenced rock in the style of AC/DC and Rose Tattoo and Motörhead. In 1984, Tyrant released a four-track EP called Never Too Loud, which topped the metal charts on the local radio stations and gained them a massive following in Tasmania. A successful tour of Tasmania followed, and Tyrant moved to Sydney, becoming one of the leading hard rock bands in the city. After headlining the inaugural “Metal Crusade” show in 1985, Tyrant split up the following year due to different musical interests among the band members.

In 1986, Tyrant guitarist Andy Zarins reformed Slyder, which split up again in 1990 after releasing one single titled Dreams.

Tyrant was reformed again in 1998 with the original line-up, and released two full-length albums Freaks of Nature (2000)and Thunder Down Under (2002), plus a live CD in 2005.

Tyrant still continue to this day, and a third album has been announced for recording in 2006.
