Tank is a British heavy metal band, formed in 1980 by Algy Ward, a former member of The Damned. The band is considered to be part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. Tank was often compared to Motörhead as both bands, trios fronted by singing bassists, played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics.

  • Tank is a British heavy metal band, formed in 1980 by Algy Ward, a former member of The Damned. The band is considered to be part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. Tank was often compared to Motörhead as both bands, trios fronted by singing bassists, played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Their 1982 debut album, Filth Hounds of Hades, has been highly received by both punk and metal fans as well as most critics as one of the best albums on the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement. Allmusic critic, Eduardo Rivadavia; described it as "Tank's best album ever, and qualifying it as an essential item in the record collection of any serious '80s metal fan. " Unfortunately, as was the case with many other NWOBHM bands, Tank was never able to build on the promise shown by their first album. The band soldiered on for years through lineup changes and waning commercial fortunes before finally disbanding in 1989. Ward resurrected the band in 1997 playing tour dates around Europe and Japan for a couple of years. A new album, Still At War, emerged in 2002. In August 2006 Ward reported that he was putting the finishing touches on the demos for the next Tank album, Sturmpanzer. The band's website in 2009 continues to list the release date for this album as "TBA". On 20th December 2008, a new lineup was announced on the Tank website. Guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans were joined by original drummer Mark Brabbs and former Bruce Dickinson bassist Chris Dale. Algy Ward was replaced by former Rainbow singer Doogie White. However, as the main writer and creative force behind the band, Ward retains copyright to the TANK brand. He is currently working on an autobiography.
