Tank, the legendary British Heavy Metal Band, will release their first ever live DVD later this year. The band featuring Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans on guitar alongside ex-Rainbow/Yngwie Malmsteen frontman Doogie White, ex-Bruce Dickinson bassist Chris Dale and former Tank member Steve Hopgood are recording tonight their live show in Stodola Club in Warsaw (Poland) which will make a main feature of the DVD.

Cliff Evans: “We're really looking forward to making our first ever Official Tank Live DVD. It's something we've wanted to do for a long time and gives us the chance to show our fans around the world what a Tank show is all about. The DVD will include old favourites such as 'This Means War', 'Echoes of a Distant Battle' and 'Power of the Hunter' plus future classics such as 'Judgement Day' and 'Phoenix Rising' plus many more. Get ready for 'War Machine Live!’ DVD.”

Apart from the material recorded in Warsaw, the DVD will also feature their appearance at Metal Hammer Festival (10th August 2011 in Katowice, Poland), a warm-up gig in Chorzów (8th March 2012), interviews with band members and other bonus material.

The legendary British band Tank finish editing their first live DVD, which is planned to be released in November. It’s their second release this year after the well-received studio album “War Nation”.

The DVD entitled “War Machine Live” will feature live performances filmed in Poland in 2011 and 2012 plus band interviews, on the road footage and the promo video for the title song from their most recent album. Cliff Evans comments: “This is our first official live DVD release so we wanted to make sure it would appeal to all Tank fans, old and new. With such an extensive back catalog to choose from, we think we've selected some real gems that all fans of real British metal will enjoy. We've captured the raw energy that Tank is known for in a performance that features classic tracks such as 'This Means War', 'Power of the Hunter' and 'Honour and Blood' plus new fan favourites 'Judgement Day' and 'Phoenix Rising'. Also featured is a live version of the new song 'Don't Dream in the Dark' from our latest album 'War Nation'. With a band whose members have previously played with such names as Ritchie Blackmore, Bruce Dickinson, Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Dianno and Michael Schenker you know with that kind of pedigree the music is going to kick some serious ass.”

The release date of the DVD is scheduled for November, 12th in Europe and December, 11th in USA (via MVD). Full details to be revealed soon.

TANK 2012

The band plan to promote the DVD on a tour in Europe in December, 2012. Evans: “It's been a while since our last shows earlier this year in Scandinavia and Poland so we're looking forward to hitting the road again and making some noise. We'll be adding songs from our new album ‘War Nation’ to the set plus a couple from ‘War Machine’ plus all the old classics. The tour will be announced in the coming weeks.”

TANK have now been confirmed to appear at the ROCKHARD 2013 Festival in Germany.

Tank - current line-up: Mick Tucker (guitars), Cliff Evans (guitars), Doogie White (vocals), Chris Dale (bass guitar) and Steve Hopgood (drums).

The first live DVD by the legendary British band Tank is now available in Europe (in USA on December, 11th). The material entitled “War Machine Live” features live performances filmed in Poland in 2011 and 2012 plus band interviews, on the road footage and more. As part of the promotion of the DVD and their most recent album “War Nation”, Tank prepared a video for the title song taken from the album. You can see the preview of the DVD on Metal Mind Productions’ official channel on YouTube in http://www.sonicabuse.com/2012/12/tank-war-machine-live-dvd-review/" rel="nofollow - THIS location.

The DVD was just reviewed by the journalist of the UK’s website SonicAbuse. Here is a small snippet of the review: “For those unhampered by an unhealthy resistance to change, this DVD, filmed live at Poland’s awesome Stodola venue (in Warsaw), offers up as clear an argument for Tank having continued as you could wish to see. Stodola has a grand history of live recordings with acts such as Soulfly and Therion having filmed shows there and Tank’s DVD is of a similar quality – well filmed, with plenty of close-up shots and with pristine audio on the soundtrack – but it’s Tanks self-assured performance that seals the deal. Doogie fits in like he’s always been there, equally assured singing old material as he is belting out highlights from the recent albums, while the band lay down a mountainous wall of sound behind him. And speaking of highlights – this set is absolutely filled with them: from the opening strains of ‘this means war’, the perfect introduction to Tank’s riff-heavy metal machine; through the stunning ‘judgment day’ which is, with no word of a lie, as good as anything Iron Maiden produced at their peak with its blistering solos, molten-metal chorus and Doogie’s vital performance; to the closing drama of ‘the war drags ever on’, tank’s performance is never anything less than exemplary and the band comfortably belt out tracks from across their entire recorded history, making sure that their legacy receives equal footing to their current crop of excellent recordings.”

The legendary British band Tank have hired former DRAGONFORCE and current I AM I singer ZP Theart to front the band for their upcoming shows while TANK's most recent vocalist, Doogie White, is out on tour and recording in the studio with Michael Schenker.

Mick Tucker, the band’s guitarist comments: “We thrive on bringing fresh blood into the band. It gives us a good kick in the ass and breathes new life into our songs. We’ve worked very hard over the past few years and have been rewarded with the success of our ‘War Machine’ and ‘War Nation’ albums and the release of our first official DVD ‘War Machine Live’. Bringing in a world class vocalist like ‘ZP’ is a great privilege for us and a real treat for metal fans.” Cliff Evans, guitars adds: “Mick and me have been playing together for a long time. We know what we want when it comes to making good music. We’re very proud of the albums we made with Doogie’s and the response we received from the fans and press has proved that we are a band that can deliver the goods when it comes to it. We’ve been rehearsing with ZP this week and we can’t wait to get on stage and do what we do best. Play British rock/metal the way it should be played.”
