As recently announced, Metal Mind Productions extended the recording deal
with the British heavy metal legend – Cliff Evans, TANK’s guitarist, comments: "The title comes from the
famous Tank battle during the 1973 Yom Kippur War where one side was massively
outnumbered but fought on regardless and against all odds secured a heroic
victory. We feel that our style of metal is slowly disappearing and now
we must also fight against the odds to keep it alive. We hope ‘Valley of Tears’
will inspire other bands and fans alike to never forget what real metal is all
about. The Mighty Tank Rolls On!”
 Tank – line-up:
Cliff Evans – guitars
Mick Tucker – guitars
ZP Theart (Dragonforce) – vocals

Cliff Evans, TANK’s guitarist, comments the
album: “‘Valley of Tears’ will be our first album release featuring the
amazing vocal talents of former Dragonforce frontman ZP Theart and marks a new
era for the band. He’s injected so much new energy and inspiration into the band
since joining us in 2013 as part of our touring line up for shows in South
America, Europe and the US. Now it’s time to capture this sound on our new
record 'Valley of Tears' which is scheduled for release in June 2015. To
complement ZP’s vocals we now have one of the best rhythm sections in metal:
Bobby Schottkowski, formerly drumming with Sodom and current Blind Guardian
member - Barend Courbois on bass. Together with Mick Tucker and myself on
guitars we’re ready to take another big step forward in the evolution of TANK
and make another metal album of great quality that will surely stand the test of
time.
Our last two releases ‘War Machine’ and ‘War Nation’
(Metal Mind Productions) were two of our bestselling albums and featured amazing
performances from former Rainbow/Malmsteen and current Schenker vocalist -
Doogie White. Now it's time to move on to the next chapter. ‘Valley of Tears’ is
heading in a much heavier direction and as always will be driven to the max by
our trademark Gibson Les Paul/Marshall stack wall of sound. Production will be
handled once again by upcoming mega-producer Phil Kinman.”
The band return to Italy for the first time since 2010 to
headline four shows. The list of gigs includes the following dates:
April 1st ROME - Jailbreak Club
April 2nd FLORENCE - Cycle Club
April 3rd BOLOGNE - Freakout Club
April 4th MILAN - Blue Rose Club
More dates in Europe to be announced soon!
Evans: “We recently played an exclusive show aboard the
70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise in the Caribbean to showcase some of the new songs
for the first time which went down extremely well with the fans. The cruise was
such a great experience and we highly recommend booking yourself on the boat for
next year. We're really looking forward to getting back out on tour next month
when we play our first Italian dates since 2010. We'll be playing some songs
from the new album plus a great selection of TANK classics. For more tour info

“Valley Of Tears” is scheduled for release on June,
8th in Europe and June, 9th in USA (via MVD).

“We’ve decided, along with our label Metal Mind, to put
the release date for our 10th album ‘Valley of Tears’ back until September 2015.
Originally planned for release in June, we now feel that the album really
deserves more time and attention during the mixing stage to get it exactly how
we want it. Having ZP Theart on vocals has upped our game once again and the
attention to detail in the albums production requires more time to get it
exactly how we want it. ‘Valley of Tears’ will definitely be worth the
wait!”
Evans comments also the recording process:
“Bobby (Schottkowski) recorded the drum tracks in Germany
with his producer Waldemar Sorychta who's previous work includes albums for
Lacuna Coil, Tiamat and Sodom to name but a few. The drums are the backbone of
the album and they seriously kick ass! Barend (Courbois) laid down the bass
guitar in Holland a couple of days before heading out on a sold out world tour
with German metal legends Blind Guardian. He’ll be back with us for our festival
shows later this summer. The guitars were recorded in London under the guidance
of producer Phil Kinman who is the master at capturing the sound of a Les Paul
through a Marshall amp. No frills. Just awesome power! The album will be
mastered by Ade Emsley who recently undertook the task of remastering the entire
Iron Maiden catalogue for 24 bit iTunes release. They’ll be some teasers coming
up over the summer including a video for the title track ‘Valley of Tears’ and
more tour dates will be announced soon.”
British heavy metal legend TANK return with their tenth
studio album! “Valley Of Tears” is their first album release featuring the
amazing vocal talents of former Dragonforce frontman ZP Theart and marks a new
era for the band. The vocalist injected new energy and inspiration into the band
since joining them in 2013 and now it’s time to capture this sound on the new
record! To complement ZP’s vocals TANK now have one of the best rhythm sections

Guardian member - Barend Courbois on bass. Together with Mick Tucker and Cliff
Evans on guitars they ready to take another big step forward in the evolution of

The band’s last two releases ‘War Machine’ and ‘War Nation’
