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!

The Day After
T.A.N.K Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heal me ignorance! Steal me pide and self reliance!

Depraved morality

Deteriorates human progression...

Corrupt decadent generation

Injustice, impunity, inequality

Manipulation

Discharge of our agression

With hunger and misery

Street violence and slum chacina

Injustice day after day

Everyday I see crimes

You lust after control me

You lust after kill me

Soul rebel and tribal attitude

Hope is the faith

Our faith is our religion

Our faith is our salvation

Steal me pride and self-reliance!" highlight a desire to break free from ignorance and dependency on others. The reference to "depraved morality" suggests a decay in moral values that hampers human progress.

The song goes on to address the corrupt and decadent generation, pointing out the prevalent issues of injustice, impunity, inequality, and manipulation. The lyrics describe the discharge of aggression through hunger and misery, as well as the presence of street violence and slum massacres. The repetition of "injustice day after day" emphasizes the ongoing nature of these problems, and the frustration of witnessing crimes on a daily basis.

The lines "You lust after control me, you lust after kill me" reveal a sense of resistance against oppressive forces seeking to control and harm the individual. The reference to a "soul rebel and tribal attitude" suggests a defiance against oppressive structures, and the belief that hope lies in maintaining faith in oneself and in a collective sense of purpose. The lyrics conclude with the assertion that faith, not necessarily tied to organized religion, is the source of hope and salvation in the face of these challenges.
