An up-and-coming heavy metal band “Black Tide” steps into the world of anime with a new animation series, “Warriors of Time”, based on the song of the same name on their latest album.

The group formed in 2004 as Radio with the band’s leader, Gabriel Garcia at age 11. After receiving recognition at many music events, Black Tide signed with Interscope Records. In 2008, the band released their debut album, “Light From Above”, featuring “Warriors of Time” that’s featured in the series. The band’s hard at work touring at various music festivals, such as SXSW.

Part 1

Black Tide has just launched their Warriors of Time Animation series. The six part series is explained best by the band themselves, “Our Hero, known as The Bastard, is a living embodiment of metal music. We pit him against a robotic legion whose influence spans all of time and space. The song speaks to the urge in everyone to rage and rock out against all outside expectations. It is a call to arms against a mundane existence, and the Bastard is always there to answer in force, slaughtering the robot conformist authority for the sake of youth, rebellion, and the undying spirit of true metal.” For the first in the epic series, click here.

Part 2

In part 2 the Bastard takes on a legion of robots in a heroic Western themed shootout. “Warriors of Time” provides the perfect soundtrack to a clip complete with a Saloon, shots (bullets & alcohol), and spurs. Watch the video here, and wait to see what happens next week.
