Due to circumstances beyond their control, Hardline Media has announced a line-up change to the bill for the NWOBHM tour coming up in June 2019.
A note from Demolition Man of Venom Inc:
“Due to health reasons, unfortunately we are prevented from doing any extended touring dates after Japan. We apologise to our Australian fans, but my great friends TANK will be taking our place to kick major Aussie Ass and the shows will be killer. VENOM INC will return…”
Our very best goes out to Venom Inc, wishes for a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing you, our good friends, for the shows when it is right for you to return Downunder!
With that said, here’s the good news…
TANK ANNOUNCED FOR THE NWOBHM TOUR!!! FIRST TIME IN AUSTRALIA!!!
For their first time in Australia – The Filth Hounds of Hades themselves, bring their heavy artillery Downunder!!! Formed in 1980, Tank has often been compared to British brothers Motörhead – both being trios, fronted by singing bassists, with a loose, grinding, punk-metal sound and gravelly vocals.
The release of their legendary 1982 debut Filth Hounds of Hades, cemented Tank’s position as NWOBHM royalty, as the album was received enthusiastically by music fans, critics and industry folk alike. The album to this day is regarded as one of the best albums of the NWOBHM movement.
Guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans are back with a full band including David Readman (PINK CREAM 69) on vocals, Randy Van Der Elsen on bass and longterm TANK member and former SODOM drummer Bobby Schottkowski.
TANK also descend Downunder with a NEW ALBUM, a tribute to early TANK days, with 11 classic TANK songs re-imagined, and spanning four albums. With exclusive guest appearances from CRADLE OF FILTH frontman Dani Filth, thrash legend Tom Angelripper of SODOM, as well as members of MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP and DARK ANGEL!!!
