Hahahahaha, this is SO Tankard, you won’t believe it!

Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is naturally for you to decide, but for me it’s somewhere in between. Tankard never was a top notch act for me, but it’s also one of those bands that you’d rather not be without because they helped put the fun in metal and have persisted trends and the fashion police for more than twenty years.

The spirit of Tankard - because there is a such - lives in these four Italians. Full-on, raving thrash metal the way only Germans usually play it. SO mid-eighties, SO silly in its alcohol-driven lyrical universe, complete with burps, rowdy pub crowds and everything, you can’t help loving 'Drunk or Dead…' a little bit if you listened to Tankard back in the day.

But make no mistake: there is also hard core thrash metal in the nastier vein on the album. Try Sardinian Beer or the Sepultura (anno 'Beneath the Remains') inspired Age of Misery. It’s not all just fun’n’beer, trust me. That’s real thrash spirit for you!

A big Prost! for the thrash metal of lore.
