In an age of pop culture and fifteen minutes of reality TV fame, it seems that unique music genres are not on anyones radar, but if Tyrant has anything to do with, they will make Michigan and the Midwest notice that the metal genre is here to stay and should be recognized. Tyrant has been finding their own niche market in the Michigan music industry and gaining fans along the way.
Even with their growing following Tyrant still doesn't feel like they have reached full potential. "We never really considered ourselves having a big following but in general just growing as a band in the Midwest music scene had been phenomenal, people here are super supportive and once they are a fan they show up to every show. There are a lot of supportive people, bands, venues, business etc in the Midwest music scene in all genres especially the metal scene," said members of Tyrant.
I had the chance to interview Tyrant we discussed everything ranging from how social media has impacted the music industry and what the future of the bands hold.
