Tankard - "35 years of TANKARD" trailer online
In 1982, when four longhaired metal maniacs from Frankfurt am Main, Germany decided to found a band named TANKARD, nobody expected them to still be going three decades later. Not to mention being at the top of the German thrash metal scene! But they are still alive and kicking, and throughout these years there’s barely been a blip in their path! Today, when the routine of breaking-up, making a “reunion” and disappearing again seems to be the order of play, TANKARD never joined this course of action - instead they kept flying the flag of thrash metal high: a very respectable effort! NOT ONE DAY DEAD!
This is why the founders of “alcoholic metal” can now celebrate their 35th anniversary in 2017 with their 17th studio album entitled »One Foot In The Grave« - cheers! Check out the new video trailer on YouTube, in which Gerre and Frank talk about 35 years of TANKARD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYxHcFVO6eo
»One Foot In The Grave« will be released on June 2nd via Nuclear Blast.

Recently, the band released the first single titled 'Arena Of The True Lies'. The song was premiered on Rock Antenne and can be heard and watched in the form of a lyric video over on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXto44JfQOQ
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?"
