Formed in 1982 in Frankfurt, Tankard are considered one of the pivotal, German metal acts. Often cited alongside Kreator, Sodom & Destruction as one of the big four of Teutonic thrash metal. An early demo, ‘Alcoholic Metal’ got them signed to the fledgling Noise Records label based in Berlin and from 1986 to 1995 they released seven studio albums (Zombie Attack, Chemical Invasion, The Morning After, The Meaning Of Life, Stone Cold Sober, Two-Faced and The Tankard) plus an EP (Alien), a live album (Fat, Ugly & Live), a live video (Open All Night) and a compilation (Hair Of The Dog), plus an EP as Tankwart, their covers band alter ego. Now celebrating their 40th anniversary as a band, this box set of their entire Noise discography also contains some previously unreleased live concert video and audio and is the complete collection of their time with the label. Still touring and recording today, Tankard show no signs of slowing down. Hold up a beer and raise a toast!Includes:
