Tantric (band)
Encyclopedia
Tantric is a rock
band from Louisville, Kentucky
. The group has released four studio albums since 2001; although, their last two albums only retain Tantric's original singer, Hugo Ferreira
. Having previously recorded albums for Maverick Records
, including their platinum
–selling debut
, they are currently under Silent Majority Group
.
frontman Travis Meeks
moved on to work with a new band under the same name. His fellow bandmates, guitarist Todd Whitener, bassist Jesse Vest, and drummer Matt Taul, would move on to work with Hugo Ferreira. In early 1999, they spoke with Massachusetts native Hugo Ferreira
about starting a new project. The former Days of the New bandmates had previously met Ferreira, formerly of Merge, during a tour and admired his distinct baritone
voice. By March that year, the four had their first practice together upon Ferreira's move to Nashville
. They began under the name C-14, a short name for radiocarbon
but soon renamed the band to Tantric. With the help of friends in Louisville radio, the band quickly gained local exposure.
who signed them that same year. The band quickly began recording their self–titled debut
with producer Toby Wright
in Nashville. Released in February 2001
, Tantric debuted at #193 on the Billboard 200
and eventually went platinum
, largely on the strength of the single "Breakdown
" as well as extensive touring with the likes of Kid Rock
and Creed
. Follow–up singles "Astounded" and a remix
ed version of "Mourning" also fared well.
Tantric continued touring in 2002 before starting the recording of their sophomore effort in April that year. In June, Tantric contributed the song "Cross the Line" to the NASCAR: Crank It Up
compilation album.
, again produced by Wright, was released in February 2004
, preceded by the single "Hey Now." Described as heavier than their first record, After We Go debuted at #56 on the Billboard 200
. Unfortunately, the album did not match the success of their debut, in part due to the poor reception of follow–up singles, the title track "After We Go" and their cover of Fleetwood Mac
's "The Chain
." Nevertheless, Tantric soldiered on, touring with 3 Doors Down
and Shinedown
for much of 2004.
through mutual friend and touring band member Kevin McCreery. With Elliott Blakey in the producer's chair, Tantric worked on the follow-up to After We Go, tentatively titled Tantric III, and scheduled for a May 2006 release. The band finished over a dozen songs for the album such as "People," "Worth Waiting For," "Stay With You," "Locked Out," and Whitener's lead singing performance, "July." Complications arose in March 2006, when Tantric parted ways with Maverick Records
, which itself was collapsing.
In 2007, Matt Taul was arrested on drug-related charges, which would further complicate the band's obtaining a new label. Finally, on May 8, 2007, the release of three songs from Tantric III on the band's MySpace
was largely overshadowed by Todd Whitener's farewell announcement on the band's website, which cited a feeling of stagnation that caused him to grow tired of the band's struggle to succeed. Ferreira later said in interviews that Whitener, as well as other members of the band had grown frustrated with the band's record label complications. Taul was sent to prison in later months, but has since been released. Bruce LaFrance was replaced.
drummer Kevin Miller and, through mutual friend Nuno Bettencourt
, Dramagods
bassist Joe Pessia. Erik Leonhardt would become bassist and Marcus Ratzenboeck rounded out the new Tantric lineup with the electric violin
. Shortly thereafter, the band announced their deal with the independent label Silent Majority Group and their new management company JHMP.
Because Ferreira remained the only original member, Tantric III had been shelved. Ferreira has said the reasoning for this, other than the logical label complications, was he did not want to produce an album under the Tantric name that was partially written by Whitener and Taul. With the indefinite shelving of "T3," Ferreira and his new mates recorded 10 new songs, in addition to a totally revamped version of "The One," featuring Kevin Martin of Candlebox
, and finally released Tantric's third album, The End Begins
, on April 22, 2008. Its lead single, "Down and Out," gained radio success and strongly exhibited the band's new violinist.

and is known for its emphasis on acoustic guitar
, distorted electric guitar
, and multi-layered
vocal harmonies
. However, due to their heaviness, the band also fit in well during the early 2000s peak of alternative
/nu metal
. In their early career, Tantric was frequently compared to Days of the New
, from which its original guitarist, bassist, and drummer derived. However, the group also gained strong comparison - and in some cases, criticism - to grunge forerunners Alice in Chains
. This is by no means coincidence; famed record producer
Toby Wright
, who handled Tantric's first three albums, also produced two Alice in Chains albums as well as the solo debut
of their principal songwriter, Jerry Cantrell
. Wright is known for emphasizing multi-tracked vocal harmonies and other characteristics demonstrated in both bands.
However, since the departure of all but Tantric's vocalist from the original lineup, as well as the inclusion of electric violin
ist Marcus Ratzenboeck, the band's musical approach has evolved. Songs predating Ratzenboeck's inclusion in Tantric have since been performed live with violin, and the altered backing band has provided a shift in musical direction.
