T.A.N.K has developed over time from an attempt to make as much horrible noise as humanly possible into a skip which the members throw all the abstract parts of their musical experience; whenever you think "Hey, wouldn't it be great to do a song about *insert fucking stupid idea here*", T.A.N.K exists at the divergence where you followed that thought with "Yes, totally, let's do it.". As such, the material has been somewhat varied; death metal, grindcore, funk, music that wouldn't be out of place in a porn film, prog, classical, choral, videogame soundtracks. Nothing is beyond the musical reach of T.A.N.K.
At the present T.A.N.K are working on several projects, which are approaching completion; a 2D SNES-style RPG with a neo-classical, baroque soundtrack entirely composed and recorded by them using the finest orchestra money can buy, and their next top-secret recorded work, which will be different from everything else they have tried their hand at before.
At the same time as all this, the band have released their latest masterwork, a blackened-porno-death-grind concept album entitled ‘Vaginal Faeces Implosion’. Telling a harrowing tale of loneliness, despair, and the slide into mental decay and depravity of today's young generation, wrapped up (like a chipolata) in some furious, pounding death metal and laced with the crack-cocaine that is pornography sound-effects, this is an album set to irrevocably change the face of death metal and grind forever.
Or, y'know, just fade into obscurity like 98% of the rest of the world. Whatever.
Songwriting has also tentatively begun for the band’s next evolutionary album, at this moment known only as ‘T.A.N.K II’.
While not updated regularly, their official site is located at www.myspace.com/anorexicnoodle. They also have a more substantial presence on Facebook, at www.facebook.com/pages/TANK/102742846436059.
2) T.A.N.K is a French band born at the beginning of the year 2007 from the ashes of a black/brutal death band. The two remaining guitarists EDD and SYMHERIS (Symheris solo, S-Project, ex Polaris), decide to raise a new line up with the perspective to offer a music both inspired by thrash and melodic death metal.
Then at the end of 2007,T.A.N.K is completed with the arrival of Raf on vocals (K.A, ex Admiral’s Arms), OLIV’ on bass (Crystal Wall, ex 101) and Clem on drums (Sihia, Sarkazein, One-Way Mirror,…).
T.A.N.K’s music is a real shell where the aggressive side goes along melodic and technical aspects in the service of the roughest and tortured feelings.
After a first Cd, very welcomed by the press, (the band is elected as new band of december for ROCK HARD Magazine), recorded in April 2007 at Studio Sainte-Marthe in Paris (Aqme(/artist], Lazy, Zuul FX, Flying Pooh, Ed Ake, Small, The Arrs, Sna-Fu, Dysfunctional By Choice), the band goes back in studio in order to record a featuring with Zuul and Aurel from Zuul FX which figures on FRENCH METAL’s compilation.
Then, the band shares many concerts with famous bands such as Dagoba or Misanthrope. T.A.N.K realise its first videoclip (Brother In Arms) for French horror movie Survivant(s), of Vincent Lecrocq with Alysson Paradis.
In April 2009, T.A.N.K is going to record its first album! STAY TUNED!

Beautiful Agony
T.A.N.K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like a soothing wound
This burning flesh is once more sucking my life out
I am about to pass away
Now bury the pride you've faked, you're about to suffer me
Bury all these moral thoughts
You're like I want you to be
The glimmer in your eyes betrayed your ascetic figure
As I was starving to death
As I was begging for help
You came, my favorite prey
"Follow me down to our beautiful agony"
The smell of lust emanates from
These pieces of scalding skin
It is torturing me
The fist of your aura is closing on my spine
Nails are sinking into my flesh
What little control which remained in me is leaving
Forsaken to your fangs...
As I was starving to death
As I was begging for help
You came, my favourite prey
Follow me down to our beautiful agony
As I was fighting to smile
As I was seeking the light
My truly beloved victim
I will bring you to our beautiful agony
Now fall deep in my arms
Let my thirst burst
Plead me to empty your mind,
To unleash the passion
Thoughtless, this is what you become
Condemned to endure your vices
Crawl down like dead, face on the ground
Invoke my pity
I will ignore these abstracts shapes
Gathered in your dark eyes
I will pretend you're not this kind of Goddess
We will rise beyond our death
The lyrics to T.A.N.K's song "Beautiful Agony" may be interpreted in various ways, with many key themes emerging from the language and imagery used. The opening line of "I can't believe I'm inside you so far from me" sets the tone of a distant, disconnected relationship. The singer finds solace in the experience, likening it to a "soothing wound." The metaphor indicates that this act may be hurting the singer but that they also find comfort in it. In the second verse, the singer refers to themselves as "starving to death" and "begging for help," suggesting that they are in a dark place, and the addition of the line "You came, my favorite prey" is unsettling, as it creates a power dynamic between the two parties.
As the song progresses, phrases such as "let my thirst burst" and "invoke my pity" suggest a BDSM type relationship, with the singer becoming submissive, perhaps out of necessity rather than desire. The use of words such as "aura," "fangs," and "prey" indicate the sexual and violent nature of the relationship, with the quieter moments in the song creating an eerie and unsettling atmosphere. The singer's desire to ignore the "abstract shapes" in the other person's eyes and to "pretend you're not this kind of goddess" implies a level of control or manipulation from the other person. Ultimately, the song's title, "Beautiful Agony," refers to the pleasure that can come from pain or power dynamics, as well as the emotional turmoil that this can bring.
