RIP Algy Ward. One of the best metal 7" ep's of all times!

[@turefromfinland3264]

I saw Tank in Finland in 1981 with Morörhead. What a day....

[@metallicsavage788]

RIP Algy. LIke your brilliant music, you'll never be forgotten...

[@kainnosgoth7336]

Now THIS is the real spirit of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. This is classic Tank, and it still sounds as good today as it ever did. I'd listen to a million NWOBHM bands first before I'd listen to any newer stuff. When it comes to defining the word "timeless", the NWOBHM is simplicity defined.

[@raptorjesus8522]

Kain Nosgoth Tank and diamond head very good bands

[@kainnosgoth7336]

raptor jesus Right you are my friend. The NWOBHM is a classic time and the music is still as good now as it was then!

[@allenellsworth5799]

+Kain Nosgoth And tons of bands make it in the same vein these days. NWOBHM will never die.

[@kainnosgoth7336]

Allen Ellsworth NWOBHM will never die; damn right man! Great time great music!

[@antiantifa886]

Wasn’t someone from The Damned in this band? Both are very good and this sounds very borderline punk.

[@woody5831]

R.I.P ALGY WARD 😢

[@Countryroads304]

thought I would check this out cuz I been listening to the cover by Sodom...very good!

[@Elias-jp5gc]

Me too \,,/

[@megag5021]

yep, same here. 40 years later now. I was wondering who made the original song. what made tom angelripper cover this...?🤔

[@veselinpetrov6420]

Tank are original

[@raggersragnarsson6255]

One of my all time favourite bands. They never got the press they deserved at the time. Such a great band. I read all the rock and metal mags during the 80s and I rarely seen them getting a mention ffs. Up there with the best of the best for sure. These guys and Raven. NWOBHM heroes.

[@phantomanalogs5387]

RIP ALGY! Legend!

thx!

[@Dudi66]

The first HM Band i have ever seen Live, 09.12.1981, a Wednesday, supporting Motörhead in the Philipshalle/Düsseldorf... Nice to hear them again after decades....

[@Dudi66]

\m/

[@raggersragnarsson6255]

Nice one. I got into Tank about 83. I would have sold my soul to see them. Such a great band.

[@leandrojorge80]

Epic concert! Same week Welcome to Hell was release!

[@Schierke-666]

Heard this again at Metallica's show two days ago (it was playing over the speakers before the second warm-up band showed up). Decided to return here. I heard the first song the first time from Sodom's Agent Orange.

[@shpadoinkle906]

I prefer this version of Shellshock to the album. Really killer!

[@metallicsavage788]

Algy's Tank were one of the earliest and greatest band's of the NWOBHM era. But they were so much more due to Algy's vision for the albums he'd create later. Wakey, Wakey! You've gotta love that opening to Shellshock🤘

[@Swatrigger]

Rest In Power Algy

[@peggs1]

OUTSTANDING

[@jamiewarriorwarlordmccallu5712]

I don't know when to stop; I just can't get enough!

[@joolswitton2074]

Saw Tank supporting Motorhead at Runcton Pavillion. That was a night to remember!

[@vasilcageorge107]

One of the best recordings in rock music's history!

[@kainnosgoth7336]

You know it!! I don't know if you were there for the original day like I was, but if you weren't and decided to catch up on all the great tunes that the NWOBHM sent our way. A real time of fierce, energetic DIY attitude that made it's mark for sure!

[@ramossaad16]

SHOW NO MERCY 🇧🇷👍

I wish I was a teen at London in the early 80's

[@jorgedelasheras9573]

me too

[@russell2890]

Or a teen on the bay area in the 80s, a teen in Florida in the 90s, a teen on Norway in the 90s or a teen in Sweden in the 90s

[@StockpileThomas1]

@@russell2890 or a teen in ruhr area in 80s. I would have loved to see Tom Angelripper drive around in his pink car.

RIP Algy :(

Cool track! Had just been knowing the cover by Sodom 🌳

[@foresakentonone4148]

Ahhh...sounds like lead singer of Waysted...I like Tank...despite never hearing of them till recently...back in the day...this would have been a purchase...

[@timothyarmstrong8477]

Excellent!

[@Heavypsychoverdose]

Classic

[@kainnosgoth7336]

Damn straight. Before Metallica and the American scene, the NWOBHM was making big waves that still crash with just as much might today as they did then. The NWOBHM will never get old!

[@jorgedelasheras9573]

What a great EP, clearly predict the awsome carrer they'll have, also the base for one of my favorite albums, filth hounds of hades. NWOBHM forever

[@ButcherMendes]

The first song I heard of tank.wonderful racket.saw them support diamond head at Glasgow apollo. Went down like pile of shit but I loved them. Wakey wakey

[@gianlucatommasi176]

Get down six feet under I wish she would, your fat blanket mother She growls and roars like thunder A mouth so big, the eighth world wonders She wants me to throw her daughter away And pick her up instead Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Yes another cunning plot To get me under her covers Dior stockings and nothing on top She ain't like a normal mother I wish I was a million miles away So I can't hear her say Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't, don't walk away Don't, don't walk away Don't, don't walk away, yeah, yeah, yeah When will this dreadful nightmare end? I really don't want another That fat blanket woman drives me round and bend How can you get lower when Hell is in the gutter? I wish I was a million miles away So I can't hear her say Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away

[@kartikchandrasekhar4181]

The intro of Hammer On reminds me of Thunderstruck. Actually, the other way around since Hammer On was released much earlier.

[@giovanigomes3257]

it remembers me the intro of opression by a NWOBHM band Satan

[@MistaFisto]

Reminds me of am i evil

Bollox... a trace of Motörhead, a dash of punk... but at least 80% original TANK.
