Songfacts®:

  • What better way to open a metal album than with an uptempo track about a tyrant? It helps if you know something about him though, and according to the man himself:

    "The tyrant is the evil ruler Psykon from the previously released concept album Metal Avenger, but, he added "the tyrant can be perceived as any of the numerous Tyrants that are on the earth today."

    As indeed it could be, all tyrants require us to bow down to them, as here.
  • Running to 5 minutes 3 seconds, Jon Mikl Thor wrote the words to "Tyrant", and collaborated with lead guitarist John Leibel on the music. Like the rest of the 2017 Beyond The Pain Barrier album it is published by Vulcan Sky Music/Vulcan Sky Entertainment Group. >>>
