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!

T.A.N.K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ξαφνικά μια ματιά σου χτυπά
Απραξία βαθιά και βουβή
Πέφτει εκεί σαν ρουκέτα στη γη
Πάγιος φωτισμός υλισμός
Δεν αντέχω είχες πει
Με μια αχνή φωνή
Είσαι εσύ που αγαπώ
Και όταν ο ήλιος βγαίνει
Θα μένω
Μεσ' στον δρόμο αυτό
Σαν παιδί περπατώ
Κι όλα αυτά που μου είπες
Πιστεύω
Έτσι αναβοσβήνει κι αυτή
Σε κοιτά που μιλάς και είναι
Ανύποπτη
Για όλα αυτά τα ψάρια και
Τα άγρια πουλιά
Που παρηγορεί
Τόσο υπνωτική σαν βυθός
Από χάπια πολιτισμός
The lyrics of T.A.N.K's song "The Chrysalis" convey a sense of being unnoticed or overlooked by others until a sudden gaze catches the attention of the singer. There is a profound and silent inertia that falls upon them like a rocket hitting the ground. The line "Πάγιος φωτισμός υλισμός" (Continuous lighting materialism) suggests a static and materialistic existence that the singer cannot endure, as it was said with a faint voice.
The chorus illustrates a higher love that the singer feels towards someone, someone they cherish. Regardless of the struggles and challenges they face, the singer vows to stay when the sun rises, walking on this path like a child. They believe in everything that was said to them.
The last part of the lyrics describes this person as flickering and unsuspecting, someone who speaks and consoles the singer for all the wild birds and fish, creating a hypnotic feeling like the deep sea or the effects of civilization-creating pills.
Overall, "The Chrysalis" invites the listener to reflect on the themes of being unseen, finding love, and breaking free from a materialistic existence.

I watched a couple of your other guys a few days ago and decided you were the best guide. However when I got to the crystalis I was thinking "there's no way he has one for this too" so I started watching the first in the search results, it was terrible, then the next one was yours! You are a the most easy to understand guide and your editing is great too. I hope you'll be around once I get past this dungeon and need another guide. Cheers! P.S Like and subscribed.

@Tom Scott Does Stuff honestly, if I didn't have your guide, I probably would have quit the game for awhile. I am more interested in the story but the game throws casual players into the pit and sometimes it is really frustrating how hard these trials and dungeons can be when all you want to do is enjoy the story. What do you think?
Tom Scott Does Stuff
Nice one, it's good to know my guides are doing their job well then! This one is towards the end of ARR and after the next video I will cover every MSQ Heavensward trial. Then it's a case of filling in the dungeons - but the trial guides are the most popular so I tend to focus on those first.
Anyway I'm happy to help and thanks for the support!

Tank starting ff, your guides are nothing short of amazing. They give the right level of information in a dynamic manner. Thank you so much for doing those videos!
Tom Scott Does Stuff
No problem, I'm happy to hear it! And I hope you're enjoying tanking 🥳

I went in scared, expecting deaths and wipes, but we ended up obliterating the trial without even a single death :) Maybe I got lucky with the group (yes, we had someone do the limit break) but still it was nice knowing what to expect, so huge thanks TSDS!
To anyone else afraid of this - don't be. The trial is exceptionally easy if only you have a melee dps pop a limit break on the tear to end the second phase fast. Other than it's all really simple, so watch the guide, do your best and you'll surely beat it! Good luck :)

Holy crap! He mentioned blight debuff extending if you run into the portal too fast. God tier. Nice job!
Tom Scott Does Stuff
Every single person I have run this place with just stacks on that portal before it even opens ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Considering how frequently groups wipe at least once here, I am not sure why this is so commonly acted. It at least wont make the shadow realm any easier.

That my friend was an excellent guide, i feel much more confident going in as a tank now, thanks, your guides are brilliant 👏
Tom Scott Does Stuff
Hey that's great, thank you for the support. I'm glad to know when these guides help out 👍
