Prepare your air guitars and get the party started with the hottest metal tribute to The Bee Gees and beyond: TRAGEDY! The New York based cover song reinventors are set to release a “best of” collection chock full of remastered favorites, Disco Balls to the Wall, on July 30, 2021 via Napalm Records.
 
It doesn’t matter at all if you love or hate disco or metal – you will unabashedly love TRAGEDY and their bombastic, crazy mix of disco, metal, glitter and revelry, highly enjoyable on their incomparable powerhouse version of “You’re The One That I Want”, out today. TRAGEDY already broke the internet back in 2015 with the viral video for their energetic take on the Grease soundtrack classic, but now it’s time to mosh on the dancefloor again to a new, remastered version of the song!
 
TRAGEDY say about “You’re The One That I Want”:
“We found the inner-METAL spirit of Grease…and it runs deep. 1950’s greasers, 1970’s Travolta, 1980’s metal and 1990’s grunge, all come together in a new-millennium melting pot – creating a kick-ass high school for adults portraying teens. You better shape up!”
 
Watch the video for “You’re The One That I Want” HERE:
 
“‘You’re the One That I Want’ Heavy Metal Tribute to Grease is as great as it sounds. They created a music video for the cover, and it is exactly what you’d think a heavy metal version of Grease would look like. Between the crazy outfits, wild hair, air guitars, and locker room parties, the only question left to ask is, why hasn’t this idea been adapted into a full length movie yet? We want more!”

TRAGEDY strike solid gold with Disco Balls to the Wall!
 
The band’s first offering with Napalm Records will include TRAGEDY’s unique twist on hits such as Abba’s “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” and “Dancing Queen”, Toto’s “Africa”, Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse Of The Heart” and Adele’s intense super-hymn ”Skyfall”, just to name a few. These fearsome brothers drop the perfect selection of all-time favorite disco, soft-rock and pop favorites – completely reimagining them as glorious, red-hot heavy metal treatments.
 
TRAGEDY add:
“Disco Balls to the Wall is the biggest, sexiest, collection of hits we’ve ever released. It’s as if the Bee Gees turned into werewolves, ate some teens, then bred with the local dog population; thus creating the world’s most beastly recordings of disco and soft-rock songs ever made. Sharing this album with your friends and lovers will make you 500% more desirable.”
 
Pre-Order Disco Balls to the Wall NOW
 
Get your body shaking when TRAGEDY start to rock out with The Bee Gee’s “Stayin’ Alive”, “How Deep Is Your Love” and “Tragedy”, and headbang to the tunes of  Slayer’s heavy riffing thrash thunder “Raining Blood” combined with “It’s Raining Men” from American duo The Weather Girls in a way absolutely never heard before. Disco Balls to the Wall is finally topped by a smashing live version of Donna Summer’s fabulous “Hot Stuff”, featuring Alex Skolnick of Testament on lead guitar. What a ride! But the party won’t stop as long as there’s a repeat button to push heavily!
 
The concept, while subversive and humorous, goes well beyond what others have done in satirical music – TRAGEDY celebrates the soul of the original song, even while turning the soundscape on its head. The amps are cranked to eleven, but the emotion is not lost. You’ll discover new meaning in songs that have been a part of your life as long as you can remember. You’ll laugh and cry, dance and mosh, and feel newly connected to the disco-metal that was inside you all along.
 
TRAGEDY’s past releases have charted on the NACC Heavy Top 10, and the band was awarded a 2019 Album of the Year nod by the Necrosexual via Metal Injection and described as “one of the hottest bands on the internet” by Loudwire. Due to their energizing and captivating live performance, TRAGEDY have already turned venues all around the globe into a hefty disco metal night and are absolutely ready to spread their glittered wings even further with their upcoming, dominating album of “best of” favorites, Disco Balls to the Wall.
