I don’t know a whole bunch about Spanish rock and metal bands, the only one that made it further than Spain were Baron Rojo. Tigres had been around in various guises before settling on their name, and I think this was the only album they released in ´88.

The choice of the opening track is very strange. They covered the song Black is Black by Spanish one hit wonders Los Bravos. It doesn’t give off the right message that’s for sure. At best, they come off as a bargain basement Judas Priest and at worst, any Friday night wannabe rock band. If it wasn’t for guitarist Albert Pont I would have removed this from my collection a long time ago. He has a great tone and can really play, and he does lift what in general would be mediocre tunes. Winning and Guns Are Shining are perfect cases in point.

I wouldn’t spend a lot of cash on it if you see it, but if you like guitar players then it’s worth a punt.
