TANK: 'The Filth Hounds of Hades - Dogs of War 1981 - 2002' Due In November

One of the most influential formations which emerged in the beginnings of the NWOBHM madness was TANK — a fierce, ambitious young band, taking all that was the best in punk and metal to a higher level. The group was formed in Croydon (London, England) in 1980 by Alasdair "Algy" Mackie Ward, an experienced front man who wanted to go beyond his previous musical experiences, which included playing in THE SAINTS and THE DAMNED.

Metal Mind Productions will release the complete discography of TANK: "The Filth Hounds of Hades - Dogs of War 1981 - 2002" on November 19. The collection, containing TANK's full discography extended with exclusive bonus material, will be available in two editions: as a nine-CD box (8CD+DVD) and a six-LP box.
