Overkill The Electric Age |
After successfully releasing their fifteenth full-length studio album, Ironbound in 2010, Overkill took time recording demo sessions for a next album, that next album would surprisingly be their sixteenth full-length studio effort, The Electric Age.rSelling over 6,700 copies alone in the United States in it's first week of release, the album peaked at number 77 on the Billboard 200 and has since, remained as successful and as great as their previous full-length.rRe-released in 2013 as a 2-CD Special Deluxe Tour Edition featuring bonus live EP recorded live in Sydney, Australia in 2010, the recording features some of the band's best work and is as talented as they could ever possibly be!rWith hard-riffing, solid music, catchy tunes and a great production from the band themselves, The Electric Age has everything that you need in Thrash Metal! |
Overkill W.F.O. |

Tankard Alien |
Produced by Harris Johns (Sodom, Kreator, Voivod), and released in 1989, Alien EP was the last of many Tankard releases to be a perfect score.
With Zombie Attack (1986) being an excellent performance, to Chemical Invasion (1987) witch saw the band become more popular and successful in Germany, and to 1988's The Morning After, with a down-hill production, the band soon released this mini-LP titled Alien.
Alien features a classic production full of powerful, hard-a*** riffs, fast drums, funny lyrics, old-school sound, smart lyrics and catchy melodies.
Including the thrashy sound on the typical "Alien" title-track as well as fast-paced drum techniques, catchy solos and talent on songs like "666 Packs" and "Live to Dive", not only does this definitive EP feature three studio tracks; but it also contains a cover to the Rose Tattoo hit song "Remedy" from 1978 and a re-recording to their 1986 song "(Empty) Tankard)".
Though Tankard may not be too popular over states out of Germany, Alien is an ultimate thrash metal album for a true thrash metal fan!
A "Must-Own" for all thrash metal collector's!
Recommended tracks:
"Alien"
"666 Packs"
"(Empty) Tankard" |
Tankard Oldies & Goldies: The Very Best Of The Noise Years |
Tankard B-Day |
The debut Tankard album released under AFM records, B-Day somehow managed to make huge success including lots of talent, pressure and humours that were featured on this album.
Released on July 10, 2002, B-Day not only represented the start of a new label to work with, but the album also was the first in eight years to feature the artwork of Sebastian Kruger (Destruction, Risk).
Starting off with the classic Slayer-like beginning tunes of "Notorious Scum" and finishing off with the five-minute epic "Alcoholic Nightmares", B-Day contains moments packed full of guttural guitar riffs, mind-shattering solos, throbbing bass lines, fast and thrashing drums, catchy tunes and hilarious lyrics.
The album does feature some classic and catchy tunes on songs such as "Notorious Scum", "Rectifier", "Need Money for Beer", "Underground (Atmosphere: Hostile)", "Zero Dude" and the finish-off, "Alcoholic Nightmares", as well as catchy moments, the release also contained heavy and fast-paced talents.
B-Day should be considered as one of Tankard's best and most successful efforts to date! B-Day is one of their best, fastest and most solid performances made in their long-time 35-year career.
Though most fans may not be interested in Tankard, I must recommend B-Day to any fan of the old-school speed / thrash metal genres.
Recommended tracks:
"Notorious Scum", "Need Money for Beer", "Underground (Atmosphere: Hostile)", "Sunscars", "Zero Dude" |

Voivod Killing Technology |
Produced by Harris Johns (Sodom, Kreator, Pestilence), this classic 1987 sci-fi-based thrash metal
masterpiece, the band were influenced by mostly Hardcore Punk and Crossover Thrash bands rather
than Metal bands.Though the members were into Kreator, Venom and Motorhead, they did form around
the time of the Hardcore Punk beginnings and the New wave of British Heavy Metal. Released in
April 1987, and reissued in 1991 on CD with the two Cockroaches (1987) single tracks, Killing
Technology features all what you need in Thrash Metal. Featuring the classic catchy tunes of songs
like Killing Technology, Overreaction, Ravenous Medicine and This is not an Exercise and the
classic riffs on songs such as Killing Technology, Overreaction, Tornado, Forgotten in Space,
Ravenous Medicine and Order of the Blackguards, Killing Technology not only is a solid record, but
it also is catchy, and clever. With crunching riffs, throbbing bass, fast drums, classic vocals
and fast, solid and aggressive moments, Killing Technology deserves a well-ridden four and a half
stars out of five! A true thrash metal masterpiece packed full of jamming-great fun! |

Tankard Hair of the Dog |
Tankard. Alien and a dog. The two drunk buddies on this cover from Sebastian Kruger, the two mascots.
Hair of the Dog, the first compilation 'best of' album by German 'Big Teutonic 4' band Tankard. Though Hair of the Dog only contains ten songs, I must admit that it does have most of the best songs from 1986 - 1989. Including the tracks (as shown above in the tracklist), this best of may be; (to some people), a bit boring for the track decisions and for the length of the full album, but it actually features some of their essential songs; witch includes "Alien", "Zombie Attack", "Chemical invasion", "Tantrum", "S**t-Faced" and the Alien EP re-recording of "(Empty) Tankard".
With a total of 41 minutes and twenty-seven seconds, Hair of the Dog has all the original tracks, including original non-remastered sound quality and it's availability is extremely rare. Only released once on original LP format, and two to three times as CD reissues. Also released as Tape Cassette and LP Picture Disc formats, also.
3.8 / 5.0 |
Tankard One Foot In The Grave |
Tankard Stone Cold Sober |
Excellent album! Love the album a lot, though I must say that this was the last Tankard until 1998's Disco Destroyer that I give it a four out of five!rP.S. Ripping Corpse it does ROCK HARD! |
Tankard Zombie Attack |
Tankard The Morning After |
I must admit, I love this album but it could have been produced and mastered better! For that
reason I give it a four! Great album though! |
The Simpsons The Simpsons Sing the Blues |
Strange and un-listenable at first glance. But great album once you get used to it! |
Voivod RRRÖÖÖAAARRR |
Though the sound quality isn't the best, the album did feature some memorable tracks including "Korgüll The Exterminator", "F**k Off And Die", "Ripping Headaches" and my favourite from the album "Build Your Weapons".rHere is my song-rating list from track by track:r"Korgüll The Exterminator" 4.0r"F**k Off And die" 3.5r"Slaughter in a grave" 4.0r"Ripping Headaches" 3.5r"Horror" 3.0r"Thrashing Rage" 4.0r"The Helldriver" 4.0r"Build Your Weapons" 4.5r"To The Death!" 4.0 |
