A look back at British metal band TANK. Originally started as a three-piece and founded by Algy Ward, TANK has gone through several lineup changes and a few small style changes, but their 80s albums are still fantastic and worth a listen (or revisit) today. Join me as I go through their history and every album (for all three versions) of this classic NWOBHM band.

I love Tank so much, Honour and Blood is probably one of my favourite albums of all time. RIP Algy.

Honour and Blood! That opening riff gets my blood pumping along with When all hell freezes over!

Theyre a band that should get a lot more recognition. Their stuff was always amazing and it got overlooked by a lot of metalheads over here

Tank is one of those bands that gives fans of fast, thumping heavy metal what they want; fast and thumping heavy metal.

One of the best purchases I ever made was that 1981-2002 boxset. Pricey, but worth every penny. RIP Algy

Whenever I think of Tank, the first song that comes to mind is "Run Like Hell"

The first four Tank albums are four of the greatest hard rock albums of all time.

I remember hearing “Hot Lead Cold Steel” back in 1984 on KMET’s Friday night Mighty Metal Hour. It’s still my favorite Tank song.

So happy you took on tank! Would love to see you tackle NWOBHM band Demon they played with so many different sounds.

Tank, man these have been kicking ass for decades! They always had that dirty, rough and tumble look and sound to them that is exactly how they should be.
