Next up from one of the best bands of the NWOBHM.

Tank Filth Hounds of Hades 1982

Zoltan Hound of Dracula eat yer heart out!

From the start Tank were compared to Motorhead and without doubt the similiarities were there. Both bands were three-piece outfits with a vocalist/bass player and Tank`s debut album Filth Hounds of Hades was also produced by "Fast" Eddie Clarke of Motorhead. But when listening to Tank, vocalist Algy Ward was far more melodic than Lemmy ever could be, but was still able to retain a credible rawness in his voice so essential to the NWOBHM. Filth Hounds of Hades is the bands most representative album and their second album was also released in 1982 Power of the Hunter, which was a departure in style from the debut, with the band putting out a more polished album with better production values. Both albums though are great listens and essential listens within the genre.
