TANKARD-German DFB cup final on May 19th

German cult thrashers TANKARD are pleased to announce that they’ll perform at the German DFB cup final this year, which will impressively be their third appearance at the huge event. Like their appearances in 2006 and 2017, the band will be playing ‘Schwarz-weiß wie Schnee’ which is their favourite football team, Eintracht Frankfurt‘s club anthem. They’ll be performing in front of the Eintracht Frankfurt‘s fan stand on May 19th. After that, it’ll be all or nothing for their team in the match against record breaking cup champions Bayern Munich.

“The best things come in threes. Of course we’re very proud that we’re once again invited to perform right before the cup final at the Olympic stadium in Berlin, and it’ll be a real challenge to surpass last year’s event. But this year, we’re going to win the cup and won’t take Helene Fischer home. Black/white/red regards Gerre”

The event will be broadcasted on ARD, kick off will be at 8pm CEST.

Iconic Frankfurt based thrash metal band TANKARD makes common cause with Melbourne’s RMIT University once again! The Australian students are currently working on another animated video for the band’s track ‘Don’t Bullshit Us’, taken from their latest hit album »One Foot In The Grave« (#26 Germany etc.). The team guided by Aaron McLoughlin crafted the animated video for track ‘Fooled By Your Guts’ a few years back. In addition, McLoughlin produced TANKARD’s ‘One Foot In The Grave’ music video last year. Some first impressions can be seen below.

TANKARD will release „Hymns For The Drunk“, the ultimate TANKARD Best Of, on January 12th 2018, via AFM Records!

„This Best Of sums up our creative period from 2002 – 2010, while we were signed at AFM Records. Henner (R.I.P.) gave TANKARD a chance in the early 2000s, when he signed us. He literally revived the band. The release of ‚B-Day‘ in 2002 was a turning point in the band’s history, cause we were finally back in the Metal circus. The AFM years will always be an important part in TANKARD’s history. Have fun with this!“
Gerre, September 2017

Tankard One Foot In The Grave Artwork

The German thrash metal legends TANKARD released their highly praised 17th studio album “One Foot In The Grave” on June 2nd via Nuclear Blast Records.

Order “One Foot In The Grave” physically here  – Digital here.

Today, the band presents a lyric video for the song “Syrian Nightmare”. Check it out here:

Frontman Gerre states:
“This is a song with a really serious message: It’s about those catastrophic conditions in Syria where countries from all over the world try to enforce their power interests. And as always, the people suffer endlessly. That’s what makes us enormously sad, but also angry since everyone’s just watching; massacres become a daily routine. I realised this even more when I was recording the song’s vocals, so they turned out very aggressive.”

Tankard-lyricvideo

“One Foot In The Grave” was recorded at Gernhart Studio (Troisdorf, Germany) together with producer Martin Buchwalter (DESTRUCTION, SUIDAKRA) in January 2017. The new artwork was brought to life by Patrick Strogulski, who is a student of Sebastian Krüger, the former TANKARD cover artist. He also created the cover artworks for »A Girl Called Cerveza«and »R.I.B.«.

And, of course, a suitable soundtrack cannot be neglected for the occasion. The band’s 17th studio album will be entitled “One Foot In The Grave” and will be released on June 2nd, 2017 via Nuclear Blast.

The band has released the first single titled ‘Arena Of The True Lies’ right in time for the pre-order start today. The song was premiered last Saturday on Rock Antenne and can be heard and watched in the form of a lyric video here:

Vocalist Gerre commented on the track:
“‘Arena Of The True Lies’ deals with all of those insane things occuring on in the Internet! People are getting blamed and offended, there are lots of fake news stories and with every one, a part of them stays in people’s minds! Our own fake news story on April 1st was a good example of this! People have stopped talking to each other, and they mainly communicate via new media. These are strange times… By the way: TANKARD have existed as a fake band for over 35 years, but we’re still doing well, aren’t we?”
