Band information
The Bengal Tigers was a classic metal band from Melbourne that originally formed in 1979. Developing a similar sound to that of European metal bands like the Scorpions and Judas Priest, the group was signed by Mushroom Records and released a single and an EP in 1983, putting them at the forefront of the tiny domestic metal scene of the time. While these releases met with little significant commercial success, the band toured widely. One-time Axatak member Yuri Linzew replaced Faroukhi in 1989, although he had re-joined by 1992.
While adopting a more glam image toward the end of the 80s, Bengal Tigers maintained their Priest-like style. From the mid 90s they issued a string of self-financed releases including an album, an EP and a cover of the Beastie Boys’ “Fight for Your Right (to Party)” but after Keith Peter-Budge left in 1999 the Bengal Tigers disappeared.
