Pay To Pray TANKARD, nobody expected them to still be going three decades later. Not to mention being at the top of the German 02. Arena Of The True Lies 03. Don’t Bullshit Us! thrash metal scene! But they are still alive and kicking, and throughout these years there’s barely been a blip in their 04. One Foot In The Grave path! Today, when the routine of breaking-up, making a “reunion” and disappearing again seems to be the order of 05. Syrian Nightmare 06. Northern Crown (Lament Of The play for bands, TANKARD never joined this course of action and kept holding their flag of thrash metal high: a very Undead King) respectable effort! NOT ONE DAY DEAD! 07. Lock ‘Em Up! 08. The Evil That Men Display This is why the founders of “alcoholic metal” can now celebrate their 35th anniversary in 2017 with their 17th studio 09. Secret Order 1516 album entitled »One Foot In The Grave« - cheers! 10. Sole Grinder However, it is no longer like the magazine Stern wrote in 1988 in a large feature about the “heavy metal subculture”: Live Bonus-CD “Their music sounds like a full train containing beer jugs jumping the rails.” For despite their humour, you should nev- (Rock Hard Festival 2016) er underestimate the musical proficiency of TANKARD. The band, who has kept on releasing powerful albums, has 01. Zombie Attack 02. The Morning After achieved the title of “cult band” with all-time classics like ‘(Empty) Tankard’, ‘The Morning After’ and ‘Chemical Inva- 03. Fooled By Your Guts sion’. Sold out club shows, tours in South America and Asia, performances at the biggest metal festivals of the world 04. Rapid Fire 05. Rules For Fools (Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, Graspop Metal Meeting, Summer Breeze) as well as their recent chart entries perfectly 06. R.I.B. (Rest In Beer) illustrate their popularity. 07. Metal To Metal 08. Not One Day Dead And even when the album title suggests, this is not the end! TANKARD’s sound is still full of creativity, freshness and ag- 09. Chemical Invasion gressiveness. Songs like ‘Syrian Nightmare’, ‘Arena Of The True Lies’ or the title track ‘One Foot In the Grave’ continue 10. A Girl Called Cerveza 11. Rectifier their run of classics. This time, the album is also going to have a serious streak; not only filled with humour but criticising 12. (Empty) Tankard today’s society. Even the traditional beer song ‘Secret Order 1516’ displays some critical elements. But don’t worry: fans LP: of the typical TANKARD humour won’t be disappointed! With songs like ‘Sole Grinder’, the band hasn’t forgotten their Side A raison d’être. This song pays tribute to the band’s manager Buffo Schnädelbach (Gerre: “The funniest choleric person 01. Pay To Pray 02. Arena Of The True Lies in Germany”) in an ironic way. 03. Don’t Bullshit Us! For the first time they’ve recorded an album at Gernhard Studios in Troisdorf, Germany. With producer Martin Buchwal- 04. One Foot In The Grave 05. Syrian Nightmare ter (DESTRUCTION, SUIDAKRA), the band have developed a new powerful sound. The bass is grooving, the drums are Side B hammering and the voice of Gerre sounds more angry and full of energy than ever before. In addition, Andi Gutjahr 01. Northern Crown (Lament Of The Undead King) has added some guitar riffs and soli you’ve never before heard from TANKARD. This complex album will take many 02. Lock ‘Em Up! people by surprise and will surely inspire not only the hardcore fans of the band! 03. The Evil That Men Display 04. Secret Order 1516 Even if a lot has changed over the last three decades, one thing has remained the same: TANKARD are four metal 05. Sole Grinder maniacs from Frankfurt - authentic, loud and sometimes drunk. And this will likely stay the same for the next 35 years!
