French sludge/hardcore metallers TIGERLEECH are back with a vengeance! Following the release of their first single, the band now presents “Hara-kiri of the Capitalist Model by Its Own Users,” the second track taken from their forthcoming album Bicephalous. Accompanied by an intense lyric video, the single showcases TIGERLEECH’s relentless energy, blending punishing riffs with raw, uncompromising vocals.

Scheduled for release on April 18, 2025, via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records, Bicephalous marks a new chapter for the band. With a revamped lineup featuring a new rhythm section and the addition of a second guitarist, TIGERLEECH has expanded their sonic arsenal, fusing their signature hardcore-laced stoner sound with even darker sludge influences.

Formed in 2013, Tigerleechcombines stoner, hardcore, and sludge influences to craft a heavy, raw, and uncompromising sound defined by its sheer power and intensity. In 2014, the band released their debut 4-track demo Danse Macabre and performed a series of shows in and around Paris. By late 2016, they returned to the studio to record their second 4-track EP.

Between 2017 and 2018, Tigerleech solidified their reputation on the road with performances in cities like Rennes, Valenciennes, and Saint Brieuc. Their first self-produced album, The Edge of the End, produced by Andrew Guillotin, arrived in 2019 to highly positive reviews, followed by a nationwide tour to promote the record.

During the pandemic, the band focused on new material and, in February 2021, recorded their second album Melancholy Bridge, also produced by Andrew Guillotin. This darker, more melodic, and mature release marked a significant evolution in their sound. Released through the MetO Music label, the band toured extensively in 2022, performing at events like the Hellfest Off Festival and Napalm Festival, and opened for Ecstatic Vision in Paris.

With the addition of a second guitarist, Tigerleech is now preparing to release their third album, Bicephalous, scheduled for early 2025 through Octopus Rising and Argonauta Records, continuing their journey of relentless creativity and sonic intensity.
