Tyrann | Djävulens Musik/Besatt | Dying Victims Productions


Release Date: November 21st, 2025
Format: CD
Genre: Heavy Metal
Country: Sweden

From Stockholm, Tyrann is a Swedish heavy metal trio made up of Jakob Ljungberg (drums), Tobias Lindqvist (vocals, bass), and Joseph Tholl (guitars). They’ve already left a mark in the underground scene through other well-known projects, but Tyrann is where they unleash pure, traditional heavy metal in its most direct and adrenaline-fueled form. “Djävulens Musik” (2021) and “Besatt” (2023), now reissued together on one CD, chart the band’s rise from a promising new act to one of the most talked-about names in the modern wave of classic metal revival.


“Djävulens Musik” hits with that distinct energy of early 80s Scandinavian steel. It’s fast, catchy, and stripped of unnecessary gloss. The songs cut straight to the heart of what heavy metal is about, galloping riffs, shout-along choruses, and solos that sound like they were forged in a garage where Motörhead, Judas Priest, and Heavy Load are playing at once. The raw production works perfectly here, making every moment feel urgent and alive. The Swedish lyrics on several tracks add character and local flavor without alienating the listener, giving the record a distinct identity.

Two years later, “Besatt” expands that same spirit with a touch more precision. It’s slightly tighter, but still wild and spontaneous. The energy remains front and center, with “Face The Tyrant” and “Rå Energi” standing out as examples of how to keep heavy metal fresh without diluting its punch. Lindqvist’s voice fits the band’s sound perfectly, halfway between a commanding roar and an anthem-calling bark, while Tholl’s guitar work delivers exactly the kind of riffs and leads fans of traditional metal crave.

Together, these two albums capture Tyrann’s essence, pure heavy metal fire, no frills, no experiments, just passion and hooks that stick. The reissue by Dying Victims Productions and Electric Assault Records (on vinyl) is a great chance for anyone who missed them the first time to catch up with a band that clearly knows how to bring classic metal energy into today’s scene.

Score: 7.0
