Tankard

经典Thrash Metal乐队Tankard来自金属重镇德国，这是一直很特别的Thrash Metal乐队，尽管来自德国却很难找出德式激流的印记，同样也没有受到Bay Thrash的多少影响，说自成一派又很勉强，但特点又十分鲜明。尽管成立也很早，也是德国第一批Thrash乐队，可以算得上是原来级别的乐队了，但从来也没成为某种Thrash风格的奠基者，也从来没由成为某种Thrash风格的领军人物，也很少有乐队说受到了来自他们的影响。如果评选Thrash经典专辑的话，恐怕很少会有人把Tankard的专辑作为选择，但这些都不能否认他们是一支伟大的乐队。   The story of TANKARD is an exceptional one: the Thrash Metal force from Frankfurt, Germany is around since the early 80s already, spearheading a wave of German Thrash bands who became successful worldwide (Kreator, Destruction, Sodom a.o.). And while a lot of other bands struggled, split up or came back with reunions, TANKARD never had these problems. They have always been there.   And they kept their worldwide fanbase for all these years, delivering one strong album after another. When you think of beer and Thrash Metal the name TANKARD is the first that will pop up for sure.   Founded in 1982 in Frankfurt, Germany their first sign of life was recorded in 1986 and indicated that not only the Ruhr district is the home of the growing German thrash metal scene. Since then they recorded almost as precisely as a clockwork one piece of finest thrash metal after another never taking themselves too seriously, enjoying their music and making their fans happy. Today their discography includes 14 studio records, two compilations, two DVDs and a live album.
