░█ █░ ▀
█ ôHop in your wheelchair, and feed the birds, letÆs █
█ have a race on crutchesà. senile with style, black █
█ leather diapers.ö █
█ █
█ The above is genuinely a verse in the title track █
█ for this, the 17th album from GermanyÆs purveyors █
█ of ôalcoholic metalö and nowhere is the mood █
█ better summed up than in those words. █
█ █
█ Because, what Tankard have done for the last 35 █
█ years, is exactly this. Namely, theyÆve made █
█ vicious and nasty û yet gloriously tongue in cheek █
█ û thrash metal. █
█ █
█ As kidsÆ reading Kerrang! In the mid-1980s MV █
█ would marvel at their album titles like ôZombie █
█ Attackö (this had a track on it called ôAcid █
█ Deathö if memory serves) and whilst the fact they █
█ are still going and we are reviewing the album █
█ only serves to remind both how old we are these █
█ days, then it is wonderful that the band are still █
█ here û and still pissing people off û deep into █
█ the 21st century. █
█ █
█ There is barely an aspect of modern life that █
█ isnÆt excoriated here. The vicious ôPay To Prayö █
█ (ôI sold Jesus backstage passesö sneers Andreas █
█ ôGerreö Geremia). ôArena Of The True Liesö █
█ dismisses the social media generation as if █
█ swatting flies ô(ôlike Gladiators in ancient █
█ Romeà.you fight inside your homeö) and they are █
█ nowhere near finished. █
█ █
█ Those looking for PC would probably be best to █
█ look elsewhere. Tankard style themselves as the █
█ ôguardians of non-conformityö on the almost punk █
█ ôDonÆt Bullshit Us!ö and they live up to that █
█ epithet perfectly on ôSyrian Nightmareö which, █
█ letÆs say, deals with the Middle East peace █
█ process and ôLock æEm Upö which sorts out racism █
█ and the refugee crisis inside four minutes. █
█ █
█ But, then, it has never been the job of thrash █
█ metal to be cuddly and warm. It is supposed to █
█ offend, and Tankard know exactly what they are █
█ doing. █
█ █
█ In contrast to many of their peers they have never █
█ split and their line-up has remained relatively █
█ stable throughout the years, so there is a tight, █
█ thumping crushing side to songs like ôNorthern █
█ Crown (Lament Of The Undead King)ö and the machine █
█ gun drumming on ôThe Evil That Men Displayö makes █
█ that one a real highlight as it takes the millions █
█ of black metal bands to task. █
█ █
█ Because its Tankard, thereÆs a good old-fashioned █
█ drinking song. Albeit one that decides to get all █
█ classical on our drunken asses before ôSecret █
█ Order 1516ö kicks in, and thereÆs one last foray █
█ into the moshpit for ôSole Grinderö û which is █
█ only designed so men who should know better can █
█ kick the crap out of each other while it plays. █
█ █
█ Often, lazy reviewers (and we include MV in this) █
█ feel duty bound to write things about thrash █
█ making a comeback in things like this. And whilst █
█ thatÆs true in a wider sense, to say that here █
█ would miss the point. For bands like Tankard █
█ thrash never went anywhere û and no doubt theyÆll █
█ be around to offend people off who deserve to be █
█ offended for the next 35 years too. █
█ █
█ And that is something we can all drink to. █
