Release of the exclusive TANK boxes -
One of the most influential formations which emerged in the beginnings of the N.W.O.B.H.M. madness was TANK - a fierce, ambitious young band, taking all that was the best in punk and metal to a higher level. The group was formed in Croydon (London, England) in 1980 by Alasdair "Algy" Mackie Ward, an experienced front man who wanted to go beyond his previous musical experiences, which included playing in The Saints and The Damned.
Today Metal Mind Productions is proud to present the complete discography of TANK: "The Filth Hounds of Hades - Dogs of War 1981 - 2002". The collection, containing Tank's full discography extended with exclusive bonus material, will be available in two editions: as a 9 CD BOX (8CD+DVD) and a 6 LP BOX. "The Filth Hounds of Hades - Dogs of War 1981 - 2002" includes the following albums: "Filth Hounds Of Hades", "Power Of Hunter", "This Means War", "Honour & Blood", "Tank", "Return Of A Filth Hound Live" (only in 9CD box), "War Of Attrition Live 1981" (only in 9CD box), "Still At War" plus a DVD with live material recorded over several years. All CDs were remastered using 24-bit process and feature rare bonus tracks (see the tracklist below). Both editions will also contain an extensive booklet covering Tank's biography, discography, lyrics to all songs and a selection of archive photos. Hopefully "The Filth Hounds of Hades - Dogs of War 1981 - 2002" will prove to you that Tank truly remains one of the most influential and skillful bands ever to infect the N.W.O.B.H.M. movement.
"The Filth Hounds of Hades Dogs of War 1981 - 2002" will be released on 19th November 2007.
