Live review TYR
O’Riley’s-Dallas, Texas
January 2005

TYR is the Norse god of war and they are back with a vengeance!  Having seen personnel changes and growing as a band these guys are ready to rock.  With new front man, Landon Uys (formerly of Gashly Crumb) leading the charge TYR is bringing their brand of metal back to the fans.  Founder of TYR and guitarist, Russell Contreras, settles for nothing than the best because he knows that is what the fans expect and that’s what he expects as a musician.  Other members include Rick Fulton on keyboards, Rick Garza on bass, and Chuck Encinias on drums.  Friday night’s performance was the first gig for Landon and only having a few practices under his belt it was amazing the show that these guys put on.  They had the crowd on the dance floor and wanting more with the end of each song.  With high reaching vocals, Landon was phenomenal!  He was doing TYR originals like Play The Game and Illusion and then doing cover tunes like Flight of Icarus by Iron Maiden and Highway Star by Deep Purple.  This is an amazing comeback for this band and I’m very excited to see what else they have in store for us.  Don’t miss the next show…you won’t be disappointed!
