One Foot In The Grave: 2CD
In 1982, when four longhaired metal maniacs from Frankfurt am Main in Germany decided to found a band named Tankard, nobody expected them to still be going three decades later, not to mention to be at the top of the German thrash metal scene. Today, when the routine of breaking-up, making a âreunionâ and disappearing again seems to be the order of play for bands, Tankard hold their flag of thrash metal high. This is why the founders of âAlcoholic Metalâ can now celebrate their 35th anniversary in 2017 with their 17th studio album entitled âOne Foot In The Graveâ.
Despite their humour, one should never underestimate the musical proficiency of Tankard. The band who have kept on releasing powerful albums has achieved the title of âcultâ band with all time-classics like â(Empty) Tankardâ, âThe Morning Afterâ and âChemical Invasionâ.
Sold out club shows, tours in South America and Asia, performances at the biggest metal festivals of the world (Wacken, Hellfest, Graspop, Summer Breeze), as well as their recent chart entries, perfectly illustrate their popularity. Tankardâs sound is still full of creativity, freshness and aggressiveness. Songs like âSyrian Nightmareâ, âArena Of The True Liesâ or the title track âOne Foot In The Graveâ continue their run of classics. This time the album is also going to have a serious streak; not only filled with humour but criticising todayâs society. Even the traditional beer song âSecret Order 1516â displays some critical elements. Fans of the typical Tankard humour wonât be disappointed though. With songs like âSole Grinderâ the band havenât forgotten their raison d'ĂȘtre. This song pays tribute to the bandâs manager Buffo SchnĂ€delbach in an ironic way.
For the first time theyâve recorded an album in the Gernhard Studios in Troisdorf, Germany. With producer Martin Buchwalter (Destruction, Suidakra), the band have developed a new powerful sound. The bass is grooving, the drums are hammering and the voice of Gerre sounds more angry and full of energy than ever before. This complex album will take many people by surprise.
Even if a lot has changed over the last three decades, one thing has remained the same: Tankard are four metal maniacs from Frankfurt. Authentic, loud and sometimes drunk and this will likely stay the same for the next 35 years.
