Album:

As a fan of Tragedy All Metal Tribute To The Bee Gees And Beyond (yes, that is the full name), it’s been an absolute pleasure to see the band’s latest video, the heavy-metallized cover of “You’re The One That I Want” from Grease, spread like viral wildfire on the internet these last few weeks. The brilliant, bedazzled, spandexed, mad genius of Tragedy is worthy of all that attention and more, and if you liked the band’s take on Grease, then you will find a lot to love about the band’s latest release The Solo Albums.The Solo Albums is an 18 track whopper of an album taking its inspiration from KISS’ various solo releases in 1978, and just like previous albums by Tragedy (2013’s Death To False Disco Metal, for example) it’s almost impossible to convey the glory of the band’s particular brand of musical madness in words: you kind of have to hear it to believe it.For example, this track-list includes what might best be described as a country-metal version of the John Denver classic “Take Me Home, Country Roads”; an awesomely warped “Sweet Caroline”, featuring an organ, crunchy riffs a-plenty and killer drums; not to mention the metal-disco-madness that is “Y.M.C.A” – a tune that Tragedy does even better than I had imagined (I hope a video is coming soon!).But that’s just scratching the surface. Tragedy also does some mind-blowing mashups on this album. The pièce de résistance is when they first turn Ozzy’s “Crazy Train” into a ballad (!) and then (as if that wasn’t enough) twirl it together with Kansas’ “Dust In The Wind”. I mean, who does that? Who even thinks that up? The resulting “Crazy Train In The Wind” is a wonder to behold. And then there’s the a capella “Get Right Back To Misty Mountain Cold” which takes the deep, humming dwarven song from the first Hobbit-movie (known as “Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold” in Tolkien’s original book), and blends it with Maxine Nightingale’s old hit “Right Back Where We Started From”. Who the hell comes up with this stuff? Tragedy, that’s who.Tragedy-3-up-front-hi-res.Oh, and Tragedy’s heavy metal subversion of Toto’s “Africa” is another slice of sacrilegious perfection that has to be heard to be fully appreciated. The same goes for “Killing YOU Softly”: in Tragedy’s hands the gentle love song “Killing Me Softly With His Song” becomes a terrifying horror movie nightmare, done drunken-metal style, complete with demonic growls and howls. Tragedy grinds up the innocuous “I Think I’m Alone Now” in similarly spectacular fashion.There are a lot of other goodies on this album, and the real glory of it all is that even in their most far-out, WTF-moments, Tragedy’s mental-metal-craziness is backed up by their bonafide musical and vocal skills.Tragedy might have started out by creating ridiculously awesome heavy metal versions of Bee Gees’ tunes like “Stayin’ Alive” and “You Should Be Dancing”, but they have clearly moved beyond that now (as their current name indicates), and no musical genre or tune is safe anymore. Good thing too, because the results are hilariously entertaining and will make you crave even more from this glitterized disco-metal crew.

Now this is fun: prepare your air guitars and get the party started with the hottest metal tribute to The Bee Gees, Abba, TOTO, and beyond: TRAGEDY! The New York based cover song reinventors are set to release a “best of” collection chock full of remastered favorites, “Disco Balls To The Wall“, on July 30, 2021.It doesn’t matter at all if you love or hate disco or metal – you will unabashedly love TRAGEDY and their bombastic, crazy mix of disco, metal, glitter and revelry. TRAGEDY already broke the internet back in 2015 with the viral video for their energetic take on the Grease soundtrack classic “You’re the One That I Want”, but now it’s time to mosh on the dance floor again to a new, remastered version of the song, plus crazy takes on Donna Summer’s fabulous “Hot Stuff” (featuring Alex Skolnick of Testament on lead guitar), TOTO’s ”Africa”, Bonnie Tyler’s ”Total Eclipse of the Heart”, and more…These guys are indeed an “all metal tribute to THE BEE GEES and beyond,” as “Disco Balls to the Wall” takes a metallic spin on popular, mainstream disco songs from the Seventies through the Eighties. The vibrant, shining core of the pop songs remain throughout, but these classics are encased in a package of hard-hitting, driving guitars and the rest of the trappings of heavy metal music.ABBA’s “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” kickstarts the entertaining 14-track release, sure to find appeal amongst a generous portion of glam rock and metal fans. It’s interesting how well the song lends itself to the pop-metal format.TRAGEDY’s rendition of “You’re The One That I Want”, the John Farrar song performed by Travolta & olivia Newton-John for the 1978 film version of the musical “Grease”, leaves quite an impression. They do succeed with the blending of pop and the harder side of metal with their mashup of Slayer’s “Raining Blood” with female-duo The Weather Girls’ “It’s Raining Men”, even though the references to the Slayer song are quite minimal.There’s unique twist on hits such as Abba’s “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” and “Dancing Queen”, Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse Of The Heart” and Adele’s intense super-hymn ”Skyfall”. We’re not sure if TOTO’s “Africa” works, but embarrassing moments will be inevitable for most “comedy metal” bands.”Disco Balls to the Wall” is finally topped by a smashing live version of Donna Summer’s classic “Hot Stuff”, featuring Alex Skolnick of Testament on lead guitar. What a ride!TRAGEDY’s concept, while subversive and humorous, goes well beyond what others have done in satirical music – they celebrate the soul of the original song, even while turning the soundscape on its head. The amps are cranked to eleven, but the emotion is not lost. You’ll discover new meaning in songs that have been a part of your life as long as you can remember. You’ll laugh and cry, dance and mosh, and feel newly connected to the disco-metal that was inside you all along.“Disco Balls to the Wall” is incredibly dynamic, nuanced and layered. This is just to have a good-time, smile, and why not, tap your feet and bang your head.

Album:

TRAGEDY - one of New York City’s most famous tribute bands and inventors of “disco metal” - had a glitter-encrusted grip on the entertainment world when they emerged into the scene in the early 2010’s. Now, following up on their 2015 breakout viral music video for their cover of Grease’s “You’re The One That I Want” and 2017’s second viral hit, a cover of “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees, TRAGEDY are back with a brand new twist on 2023’s I Am Woman. Flipping the script on sleaze rock tropes, with I Am Woman, TRAGEDY take their place as allies paying tribute to the most powerful force in their lives - celebrating womanhood in all forms on 14 newly-recorded, reinvented anthems of palpable power and fearless fun!Having introduced their raucous trademark stage show to audiences in the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland and beyond, and releasing several albums of metalized disco, soft-rock and pop covers before even tasting their first viral hit, TRAGEDY proved early on that they were never just your everyday satirical cover band. These six warriors of wacky fully embody the soul of the original and reimagine it from the top down, infusing the tracks with an undeniably infectious energy that can be felt both on stage or on wax. And while their vibrant 80s hair metal image would imply that an evening of jokes and debauchery is afoot, while plenty of misbehavior is to be seen on the surface, one only need witness TRAGEDY a single time to understand that the band’s true overarching message is one of carefree joy, humanity, acceptance and the simple pursuit of a damn good time.Propelled by this spirit of liberty and showcasing the raw performance talent of each band member, on I Am Woman, TRAGEDY turn the energy up to 11 with recharged dancehall favorites like “Le Freak”, “Respect” (feat. Marcy Harriell) and “I’m So Excited”, and double down on the drama with heavy, recomposed covers of belt-worthy classics “Memory” (feat. Mrs. Smith), “Goldfinger” and “Roar”. Tracks like “I Will Survive” evoke the spirit of Queen with choral harmonies and blazing solos, while unabashed anthems like “She Bop” and “Venus” fully convince with authentic 80s hair metal flavor. Power metal reigns on the band’s opus-like version of “Flashdance… What a Feeling” and the theatrical Maiden-meets-Meatloaf-esque “Lay All Your Love On Me”. I Am Woman is bolstered by a retro production aura that allows the intricacy of each rearrangement decision to shine, as blistering guitar work, classic drumlines and dynamic vocal performances cascade throughout each track. With I Am Woman, TRAGEDY truly embody the spirit of metal classics while providing a fresh take on some of the world’s most timeless classics of empowerment, independence and self-love - important messages that resonate now more than ever!
