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!

So Vile
T.A.N.K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why I am standing here
I seek strolling
About shame in my head
Now easy...
Tell me what's wrong with me
And scream my name
If you remember it
Please, you have to remember
Long time ago you forged the monster in me
While I'm loosing control
Yet I'm loosing my soul
My eyes are blinded by hate
While I'm loosing control
Yet I'm waiting for the call
Is it me? Am I so vile?
Hatred and madness combined
I'm now waiting for a sign
Order me to launch the fury
Man, please stop blowing at me
Oh my thing rightfully mine
There's no faceless foe inside
Now I'm gonna hit you where it hurts
Our worlds...
Hate will drain
The tears falling from your eyes
As your life
Is spilling in mine
Heal the scars
Carved in my furthest past
Transient shade
Reduced to nil
In the end
A forlorn memory
Our worlds collide for the last time
For the last time
Our worlds collide
The lyrics of T.A.N.K.'s song "So Vile" depict the struggle of the singer with the dark and destructive side of their personality. The opening lines of the song suggest a feeling of aimlessness and confusion, as the singer admits to standing somewhere without clear direction. The second line suggests that the singer is grappling with a sense of shame, though the source of this shame is not made clear. As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the singer is battling with their inner monster, a primal force of hatred and madness that threatens to consume them entirely.
The lyrics paint a picture of a person at the limits of their self-control, on the brink of letting their violent and hateful impulses take over. The lines "While I'm losing control / Yet I'm losing my soul" point to the idea that indulging these impulses would come at a great cost to the singer. However, they also reveal a sense of fatalistic acceptance, as if the singer is already resigned to the fact that they will eventually succumb to their darker nature. Despite this acceptance, there is a hint of desperation in the closing lines of the song, as the singer implores someone to remember them- a final plea for recognition before they are lost forever.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't ask me
I don't want to explain myself
Why I am standing here
I feel lost and unsure of where to go
I seek strolling
I am searching for something or someone
About shame in my head
I am burdened by guilt and regret
Now easy...
Please calm down and help me
Tell me what's wrong with me
Explain to me what is causing my problems
And scream my name
Use my name to wake me up and get my attention
If you remember it
If you can still recall my name
Please, you have to remember
I need you to remember me
Long time ago you forged the monster in me
You are partly responsible for the negative changes in me
While I'm losing control
I am struggling to stay composed
Yet I'm losing my soul
My sense of self is slipping away
My eyes are blinded by hate
I am consumed by anger and hostility
Yet I'm waiting for the call
I am eager to take action or receive guidance
Is it me? Am I so vile?
I am questioning whether I am the problem
Hatred and madness combined
My emotions are overwhelming
I'm now waiting for a sign
I need a clear indication of what to do next
Order me to launch the fury
Request that I take aggressive action
Man, please stop blowing at me
Stop antagonizing me, please
Oh my thing rightfully mine
I want what I deserve
There's no faceless foe inside
My enemy is not some unknown entity
Now I'm gonna hit you where it hurts
I am going to target your weaknesses
Hate will drain
My hatred will exhaust me
The tears falling from your eyes
You will cry because of my actions
As your life
You will suffer because of me
Is spilling in mine
Your pain is affecting me too
Heal the scars
I want to repair my past mistakes and wounds
Carved in my furthest past
The pain I feel is from long ago
Transient shade
My current state of mind is temporary
Reduced to nil
I am nothing right now
In the end
Ultimately
A forlorn memory
A sad and lonely recollection
Our worlds collide for the last time
This is the final time we will face each other
For the last time
This is the end
Our worlds collide
We are in conflict
