Formerly known as Tigres de Metal (1982-1983), it was founded by Albert Pont, José Antonio Manzano and David Biosca when they returned from the military service, as a kind of continuation of the band they had been together before (Tebeo), but with heavier leanings. They recorded a demo in 1982 with a session bassist and baptized the band as Tigres de Metal. Pedro Bruque came to fill in as bass player after the first demise of EVO.
Tigres de Metal opened for Motörhead in their concert in Barcelona, on November 19th, 1982 and in Madrid, three days later (just six months after its foundation). They also opened for Saxon in April, 1983.
This lineup's last concert was on July, 1983, when they opened for Barón Rojo in Huesca. Vocalist Manzano and drummer Biosca received an offer from Banzai and remaining members had to find their replacements. The band finally changed their name to Tigres de Oro when Paco Estrader and Jimmy Reitz (from the band Oro) entered the band (so, despite playing in their first album both songs of their single, Oro was a completely different band; they coexisted with Tigres de Metal and weren’t an earlier incarnation of Tigres).
As Tigres de Oro, the band toured Spain with hard rock bands Helix and Kiss and finally got a deal with RCA, which brught the band to play in Marquee and Greyhound Halls in London.
They opened for Judas Priest in Barcelona on February 1st, 1984 and, again, for Motörhead in their 4 gigs in Spain on June the same year.
They spontaneously changed their name to Tigres to release their album, which came out in late 1984.
