TZIMANI Rock Out A "Haunting" New Single Off Upcoming Album Out "I Feel Fine" Out November 2024
Breaking out with their self-titled debut EP in 2018, San Diego, USA’s Eddie and Seb Vazquez brother duo that makes Tzimani are excited to announce their first full-length album entitled "I Feel Fine" set for release this coming November 15th on Glory or Death Records (Vinyl) and Noize Cartel (Digital).
Picking up right where the 2018 EP dropped off, "I Feel Fine" features the same elements of catchy hooks, clean rhythms, and dynamic vocal lines. However, there are bits of deviation when it comes to injecting new elements. Fans will hear an added synthesizer for some of the tracks, an exploration into AOR rock, and some expressions of today's modern music scene for this collection of eight songs of their finest hour adds.
Drummer Sebastien Vazquez comments:
"You know those albums that you listen to over and over again and you just know when the first song hits your sense of familiarity, nostalgia, warmth, and comfort? That is what we are trying to encapsulate. The album is straightforward heavy metal mixed with modern elements with a dash of AOR and we feel it is the best representation to show everyone what we are capable of. We are also trying to represent the future of the band and give everyone an entry into some of the larger questions that we struggle with and how we choose to represent that with our songwriting. We are not the type of band that is capable of singing about stories, dragons, and swords, but we excel at writing tunes that people can genuinely relate to and connect with."
Releasing the album's first single “We Stand and Fight” this past July, Tzimani, is unveiling its next preview to the record with the track "Haunting", a song about toxic relationships and people having the courage to walk away from them. The song is infused with a driving synth-heavy pulse that not only carries the mid-tempo piece with elegance and eloquence it also pieces it all together with a melancholy timbre. It is one of Tzimani's favorite songs to play and it really opens the dynamic capabilities of the band and what they can achieve sonically.
“This is the next song we are releasing to genuinely hype the release of the record and we feel that it is the most dynamic piece we have ever released given the nature of the added synthesizer part alongside a melancholic atmosphere. It still has all the parts that make the song a Tzimani tune with a heartbeating rhythmic riff with layers of change all throughout the piece. The drums and how they accompany the overall orchestration of the arrangement do a good job of providing energy during all of the key moments of the song as it transitions from verse to chorus to solo break, to solo. It has been a live staple for us for a couple of years now and we are eager to see the response of how folks receive it. For us, we wanted to put together a mid-tempo song that kept things fresh and we really think we were able to do that with Haunting.” adds Sebastien Vazquez.
Rebuilding the momentum that was lost during the pandemic years, Tzimani is hitting the ground with a renewed vigor and sense of excitement to bring their music and live performance to places to those familiar with them and beyond and recapture the support of all the fans they left hanging over the last five years to let them know that they are back full force.
The fearless gruesome twosome of Tzimani is recommended for fans of Van Halen, Haunt, Striker, Traveler, Skull Fist, and Cauldron.

About: Formed in 2017, Tzimani hit the ground running with their debut demo and a relentless West Coast and Southwest tour, winning over fans with electrifying performances in cities like Portland, Seattle, and Texas. Their 2018 self-titled EP, released via Noize Cartel Records, became a launching pad that propelled them into the national spotlight. With over 100 shows across North America and standout appearances at major festivals, the band quickly built a reputation as a live act not to be missed.
Drawing from legendary influences like Iron Maiden, Van Halen, and Mötley Crüe, Tzimani's music is a bold fusion of melodic AOR and the raw power of old-school heavy metal. With twin-guitar leads, soaring solos, and thunderous drumming, their sound is equal parts grit and glory. Eddie’s vocals, reminiscent of Dio, along with his fierce guitar work, channel the spirit of classic rock while still pushing forward into new sonic territory.
After their 2020 expanded re-release of the EP, Tzimani faced an unexpected pause as the world shut down. But through the stillness, the brothers’ creativity simmered, building anticipation for their next big move. Now, with their first full-length "I Feel Fine" (Out Nov 2024), they’re stepping into uncharted territory by incorporating synthesizers to deepen their sound, adding a dynamic, atmospheric layer that brings new emotion and energy to their music.
Tzimani’s partnership with Glory or Death Records marks the beginning of a fresh journey. With their signature blend of melody and muscle, the band is primed to reach a broader audience and reignite their momentum on stages across the country. The stage is set, the wheels are turning again, and Tzimani is ready to reclaim their place as a force in the rock and metal scene.
“Typically, when promo proclaims that a band represents a "bold new take" on a traditional, well-trod style, you can expect the same: yet another forgettable "revitalization" of a sound and aesthetic that has been done to death, reanimated, and then slaughtered by copycats once more. In the case of Tzimani, the status quo is effectively put in its place.” - Sleeping Village
“Electrifying pace sets 'We Are The Ones' on fire, hurtling along at full velocity, displaying all the hallmarks associated with the "foot on the monitor" style of traditional heavy metal. Hitting hard like an out of control wrecking ball” - Frenzy Fire / Metal Gods TV
" refreshing heavy rock 8/10" - SoundMagnet (German)
" This two piece hailing from San Diego shredded their way through their set. Straight up heavy metal brothers rocking their way across North America. Eddie can really play the guitar. Each song they played were full of mean riffs and ripping solos." - Metal As Medicine (Live Review - 2019 - Kelowna, BC)
" They surprised us all when vocalist/guitarist Eddie Vazquez announced that they were the only other band on the bill. It was their best time to shine. Kudos to you Vazquez brothers!... Tzimani set up shop, and made that stage their biatch! Soon enough they began playing songs that were not included in their demo such as “Overdrive,” and dished out their hits “Final Hour” and “Get Me Out Of Here” which are available on their demo. These bros emitted a tremendous confidence and were still glowing from their recent inaugural American tour." - Ugh Metal (Live Review - 2017 - San Diego, CA)
