Tantric

A band that garnered a Platinum record with their self titled debut, featuring their 1 single “Breakdown”, a strong sophomore release (AFTER WE GO) on Maverick Records, and considerable critical acclaim saw members depart, their label change direction and the bottom drop out of their future. Not one to give up, vocalist and remaining original member Hugo Ferriera pressed on and turned it all around.

THE END BEGINS truly closes the door on what TANTRIC used to be and shows rock fans everywhere what can be done with talent, passion and a unique take on what modern Rock & Roll should sound like.”Every ending gives birth to a new beginning,” says vocalist Hugo Ferreira. “The previous lineup is gone and that enabled me to bring in people with a whole new perspective.” Now joining Ferreira is Kevin Miller (ex-FUEL) a hard-hitting drummer and a human metronome, with the experience of being in a multi platinum band on his side, Joe Pessia, an intricate, detailed player “really internalizes the guitar parts and puts this incredible spin on them, Erik Leonhardt, a great bass player AND a great singer, he makes the harmonies in the songs pop, and a most unusual addition, classically trained violin player, Marcus Ratzenboeck. “We are treating his violin like a guitar,” Ferriera says. “Marcus comes from a classical background and he brings that to the rock music we are making… it sounds so fresh and different.”
