Today, the band have announced that they will be doing a signing session at the Commerzbank-Arena in Frankfurt, before the Bundesliga match Eintracht Frankurt vs. VfB Stuttgart on September 30th, 2017. The signing session will take place from 13:30 till 15:00 CET in front of the grandstand at Frankfurt's Commerzbank-Arena. You also have the chance to buy the new EP and t-shirts, as well as taking a picture with the band.

'Schwarz-weiß wie Schnee' is the anthem of the German football club Eintrach Frankfurt and has been played in the stadium for ten years before every home game.

The song has now been completely re-recorded by the band. The thrashers were supported by Henni Nachtsheim (Badesalz), Ande Werner (Mundstuhl) and Roy Hammer (Roy Hammer & Die Pralinées), who can be heard in the backing choir. The artwork was designed by cult comic artist Michael Apitz, whose comics have been published for years in the Eintracht Frankfurt stadium newspaper.

Three months ago, TANKARD played the song in front of over 30.000 enthusiastic Frankfurt supporters, a short time before the kick-off for the German cup final between Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund at Berlin's Olympic Stadium. Check out the video here: https://youtu.be/8Y_CBNpbW-Q

Mastermind Gerre states: "What an unforgettable event! We wanted those three and a half minutes to last forever! Simply amazing and incredible! This was once again one for the books... We tried with both clip and CD, to truly capture a part of these epic moments and we hope that not only football fans from Frankfurt enjoy them!"
