C'est le nouveau groupe de Tommy Bolan, ex-Warlock époque Triumph and Agony, avec des membres actuels de Metal Church.
Today, the heavy metal collective, N.Y.C., featuring Tommy Bolan (Warlock), Stet Howland (W.A.S.P., Metal Church), and Steve Unger (Metal Church), are thrilled to announce their debut album, Built To Destroy, an unfiltered blast of New York City attitude, due out November 14 via Adrenalizing Media Network.
What would it sound like if AC/DC brawled with Judas Priest in an alley while Motörhead revved a Harley over the whole thing? Meet N.Y.C. and their debut album Built To Destroy. It’s heavy, it’s loud, it’s fed up, and it’s definitely not here to make friends.
To celebrate the announcement, N.Y.C. have unleashed the lead single, “Heavy As Hell,” a face-melting ode to tearing up stages and living life on your own terms. It’s gritty, aggressive, and packed with more guitars than your neighbour’s best man cave. The track arrives alongside an official NEXTGEN UE5 music video, available to view below.

Founded by lead singer and guitarist Tommy Bolan, born and raised in Queens, NY and the six-string shredder behind Warlock’s platinum Triumph & Agony, N.Y.C. also features metal legends Stet Howland (W.A.S.P., Metal Church) on drums and Steve Unger (Metal Church) on bass. Together, they channel the sound of New York City: noisy, restless, pissed-off, and ready to rise from the gutter.
Their debut album, Built To Destroy, was produced by Tommy Bolan and is being released by Adrenalizing Media Network (Executive Producer). It was recorded at Deep End Music Studios and mastered by Robert Vosgien (Los Angeles, USA).
Founder Tommy Bolan comments on the debut album: “I wanted to write songs that were real to me. With our songs, we can vent our aggression while at the same time exorcise our demons of insanity. I’m the guy on the New York street corner screamin’ about everything, and you FEEL that intensity in our live show.”
Tommy continues, “Built To Destroy is basically the return for anyone to end all of the bullshit that has been dumped on them in their life. All of the madness, lies, and self-sacrifice of body, mind, and soul at the hands of others shall now be turned around. As my song says: I am ‘Tired of Smiling.’ All of this has made me the half man-half machine you see before you. I have returned to set my demons free and tolerate no one’s limitations any longer.”
