Tank – Laughing In The Face Of Death

This Means War is the third album by British heavy metal band Tank, released in 1983. On this album, the line-up expanded to a four-piece, with the addition of second guitarist Mick Tucker, former member of the NWOBHM band White Spirit. Thanks to Tuckers song writing contributions and to the sound expanded by an extra guitar, the band changed their music in comparison with their previous albums with longer, more melodic compositions, which helped differentiate Tank from Motörhead, the band they were often compared to.

Play those samples as loudly as you can:

Tank – Just Like Something From Hell

gave me an incredible energy kick, my youth just came back like something from hell. The scream in the beginning sounds like Rob Halford.?

Tank Echoes Of A Distant Battle

5.0 out of 5 stars Smashing Your Brain,
One of the early groups in the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal, for the uninitiated) movement of the early 80s, Tank was effectively described as “bulldog bludgeon”. Slamming guitar, hard pounding bass, steady drums. Definitely not your mothers music.

There are basically 7 main tracks on this album, plus a couple of additions. Any one of them will stress your speakers and thump your head. “Echoes of a Distant Battle” is probably the best known song, and one that was featured on the righteous metal compilation MUSIC FOR NATIONS – THE SINGLES ALBUM, an album which is ultra-rare these days.

If you like metal, and you hate the whole “lets throw some keyboards into it and make it commercial” nonsense, if you like blaring guitars and songs that will blow your speakers to hell and back, then you’ll want to check out this album. If you like this

“This Mean War” by Tank, off of 1983s album of the same name.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just get it,
After the release of two excellent albums (“Filth hounds of hades” and “Power of the hunter”), Ward and the Brabbs brother recruited a second guitar player – Mick Tucker – and recorded their third album titled “This means war”. With this album, Tank continued their raw, unpolished but still melodic heavy metal. Even if the production could be better, theres plenty of enjoyable stuff here. “Just like something from hell”, “Laughing in the face of death”, “This means war”, “Echoes of a distand battle” and “If we go (we go down fighting)” are all high class metal tunes from the eara of New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and if you are a fan of early Iron Maiden or Motorhead, my guess is that you might find this album irresistible. Get it and crank it up!

Tank – I Won’t Ever Let You Down

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best underground metal bands ever!,
These guys are HEAVY! Springing from the late 70s/early 80s underground metal scene they were found in all of the purists’ collections. When Metallica was still that little known band these guys were assaulting the senses of countless headbanging, beer-swilling ruffians. The first song of the album says it all, “Just like something from…hell.” It is a relentless bounding of guitar, drum, and bass rhythm. The title track, “This means war” continues in the same vein driving you into submission. Their multi-album theme of war and military makes Tank a great musical outlet for those seeking a hard-driving onslaught of power…I can’t recommend them any more than I already have…a must have for anyone who loves pure, hard metal…


5.0 out of 5 stars Great 80s Brit rock!!,
Eclectic British sound from a dying era.


5.0 out of 5 stars ALGY!!!!,
I just got This Means War in the mail a week ago and I looove it! It has not been out of my stereo the whole time. The title track is killer as is the whole album really. Algy’s voice is great and the guitar playing is great. I mean this isn’t gonna blow anything out of the water like Motorhead often does but this is still heavy ass fist pumping anthemic rock n roll without the cheese that usually comes attached to this genre of music. I cant wait to get the rest of the catalogue….CHEERS!!
