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!

It Bleeds Inside
T.A.N.K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is slowly invading the room
Too many things are burning my mind
It bleeds inside
Can't fight the fucking time
It's running and running again
Too fast for me, too far from me
My mind 's already trapped
Motionless body
Floating in my own spirit
And as the wind becomes my cradle
I feel rocked by the drafts
I sink inside of me
To submerged lands of my being
The blurred is dispelling
All around me, I begin to see...
Not that place again
I have been there before
It is born from pain
See souls crawl on the floor
It's something I fear
I can't stand this anymore
It's some shit I'll seal
That's what I'm craving for
A place where torment reigns
It's crown is made of bones
As I wander in this
Vision of horror I realize...
Nightmare! It has just begun
Will it last forever?
Am I here forever?
... And ever...
How can I escape? My mind is trapped
Will it last forever? It bleeds inside!
The lyrics of T.A.N.K's song, "It Bleeds Inside" paint a picture of a person who is struggling with past traumas that keeps haunting them. The lines "Can't close my eyes as darkness is slowly invading the room" suggests that the person feels trapped by their past memories, which they cannot escape. The line "It bleeds inside" is a strong metaphor for how the person feels; they are bleeding internally and the wounds are not healing.
The lyrics also suggest that the person is powerless in this situation. The lines "Can't fight the fucking time, It's running and running again, Too fast for me, too far from me" shows that the person is aware of the time that has passed, but they cannot stop it from running. Furthermore, the lines "Motionless body floating in my own spirit, And as the wind becomes my cradle, I feel rocked by the drafts" suggests that the person is numb, and their mind is in a state of limbo. They feel like they are lost in their own thoughts, and they cannot escape.
The line "That's what I'm craving for" suggests that the person is looking for a way out. They are looking for a way to end their suffering and seal their painful memories for good. The lyrics show that the person is scared and haunted by the past, and they do not know how to escape. The line "Nightmare! It has just begun, Will it last forever? Am I here forever?" shows that the person's situation seems hopeless, and they feel like they are stuck in a never-ending nightmare.

Can't close my eyes as darkness
I am unable to close my eyes due to the darkness in the room
Is slowly invading the room
The darkness is gradually filling the area
Too many things are burning my mind
My mind is overwhelmed by various thoughts
It bleeds inside
My mental state is deteriorating
Can't fight the fucking time
I am powerless against the passage of time
It's running and running again
Time is continuously moving forward
Too fast for me, too far from me
Time is moving too quickly and I am unable to keep up
My mind 's already trapped
My mind is already confined and limited
Motionless body
My physical body is immobile
Floating in my own spirit
I am lost in my own thoughts and emotions
And as the wind becomes my cradle
The wind's movement soothes me
I feel rocked by the drafts
The gusts of wind cause me to sway and feel unsteady
I sink inside of me
I am consumed by my internal self
To submerged lands of my being
I am delving deep into my own subconscious
The blurred is dispelling
The unclear aspects are becoming clear
All around me, I begin to see...
I am beginning to perceive my surroundings
Not that place again
I do not want to revisit that place
I have been there before
I have experienced that place previously
It is born from pain
That place is created due to suffering
See souls crawl on the floor
I witness individuals struggling greatly
It's something I fear
I am afraid of that place
I can't stand this anymore
I cannot tolerate this any longer
It's some shit I'll seal
I will seal off that place from my mind
That's what I'm craving for
I desire to move on from that place
A place where torment reigns
A location in which agony is the ruler
It's crown is made of bones
The source of suffering is evident
As I wander in this
As I explore this location
Vision of horror I realize...
I comprehend the terrifying image in front of me
Nightmare! It has just begun
This is only the start of a dreadful experience
Will it last forever?
I am uncertain if it will ever end
Am I here forever?
Perhaps I will be trapped here permanently
... And ever...
I may never escape this torment
How can I escape? My mind is trapped
I do not know how to free myself from this mental prison
Will it last forever? It bleeds inside!
I fear this agony will never stop harming me mentally
