Play the cassette back through that, and you have Sturmpanzer. Hit the Walkman with a hammer several times to knock the playback head out of alignment. Play the cassette about three hundred times, until itвЂ™s beyond worn out, and then drop it into your Walkman. Imagine going to a gig in a dark pub, and recording the show on your phone. It makes HellhammerвЂ™s Apocalyptic RaidsВ sound like it was produced by Quincy Jones. I donвЂ™t swear often, but I have no idea what the fuck was going through WardвЂ™s head when he decided it was a good idea to release this album. IвЂ™ll get to the songs in a minute, but when an album sounds like this (which in this millennium has been never), one needs to address the recording atrocities up front. Ward does literally everything himself on Sturmpanzer, and considering the guy has such bad tinnitus that he canвЂ™t even play his bass through an amp anymore, this is the first of uncountable horrible decisions. The Tucker/Evans version of TankВ has embraced modern writing and production while still paying homage to their NWOBHM origins, whereas the Ward version, well, seems to eschew everything that would possibly make an album good.

One band features members Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans, and the other consists of only Algy Ward-same name, same logo. But their legacy is such that new albums should be reviewed, for better or worse.ДЇor those of you still wet behind the ears, there are two TankВ bands these days. No, they didnвЂ™t really make a lasting impression before collapsing-although their debut, Filth Hounds of Hades, had enough MotГ¶rheadВ attitude (and production) to wilt your rosebushes. How did Steel Druhm, my cohort in late-middle-age, not grab this? Both of us remember the original TankВ from way back in the early 80s, with their punk/proto take on the whole NWOBHM movement briefly endearing them to many. This week, she forgot about little old me, and what did I see lurking in the promo bin? Tank. Here I am, trudging towards the end of the year, relying on headmistress Madam Xto dole out the review rewards and punishments as she sees fit-except for this week. Sometimes we get what we want, and sometimes we get what we deserve.
