Black Tide is a Heavy Metal band from Florida, formed in 2004. Originally founded as a classic Thrash Metal type band, they switched over to a Metalcore style, and what followed was a massive line up change. After their change in style, fans started arguing over which style was better. However, not only did they drastically change in musical style, but Gabriel changed
in style too. In 2016, Gabriel announced that the band was over as he changes his focus towards solo projects.
