Metal Mind Production released You can now read a very interesting interview with
Cliff Evans, Tank’s guitarist on the Bonavox
Magazine’s website. He comments the work on “Valley Of Tears”
album:
“Our last two albums ‘War Nation’ and ‘War Machine’
featured the amazing vocals of Doogie White which really helped to elevate TANK
to a new level and open up a whole new audience that previously would never have
been exposed to our music. This was the direction that Mick and me had wanted to
go in for a long time but were unable to until we brought in a world class
vocalist. Doogie’s voice gave us a more classic rock sound but with our
trademark guitar growl it still had the TANK edge.
After Doogie departed to join up with Michael Schenker,
we decided to take TANK in a much heavier direction. In came former Dragonforce
frontman ‘ZP Theart’. Some people thought this was a strange choice for vocalist
but we knew what he was capable of and he was definitely one of the best
performers around. He was in our touring line up for a couple of years before we
started working on material for ‘Valley of Tears’ so he knew where we were
heading and what we were about.
This album is a huge step forward from our previous
albums and ZP’s vocals, melodies and lyrics have been a major part of
this.
Also, the addition of former ‘Sodom’ drummer Bobby
Schottkowski to the line up has given us the power and drive that we’ve been
looking for. He’s the backbone of the band now. It’s like he’s always been with
us.
Working with Barend Courbois was such a great privilege.
He joined us on our first ever Brazilian tour and played on the album just
before he headed out on tour with his regular band ‘Blind Guardian’.
There’s some very talented and experienced musicians on
this album and it really shows in the final result. If you like metal, this is
for you!”

British heavy metal legend Cliff Evans comments: “We didn’t want to make the usual
low budget, derelict warehouse style video that so many bands seem to go for
these days so in order to do the song justice we decided to find a more
interesting location. We contacted Dale Webb at MGV and he found the ideal
backdrop that provided the essential vibe that goes so well with the song.
Unusually for this part of Spain the weather was stormy and overcast but that
added a great atmosphere to the performance. The video really captures the raw
energy but also the laid back side of the band.
We like nothing better than playing our own brand of rock
’n’ roll and drinking beer together!”
Mick Tucker adds: “We’re so pleased with the amazing
response that we’ve had for our ‘Valley of Tears’ album which was released at
the end of last year. We wanted to portray the songs visually so we decided to
invest in making a couple of top quality videos for our fans to enjoy and share
the experience of what we’re doing. We only had one day to film everything we
needed so it was hard work but we had plenty of cold Estrella beer close to hand
to keep us going.”
A second video filmed for the title track of the album
“Valley of Tears” is scheduled for release later this summer.
"Valley Of Tears", the most recent album by the British heavy
metal legend TANK, was released in late September 2015. It is their first album
release featuring the amazing vocal talents of former Dragonforce frontman ZP
Theart. 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!
