1) Tank (stylized as … Read Full Bio ↴There are mutliple artists with this name:
1) Tank (stylized as TANK) is the name of two British heavy metal bands, both of which stem from a band formed in 1980 by Algy Ward (ex-The Saints, ex-The Damned). The band's brand filthy metal was loved by both punk and metal fans. The original band is known as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Tank was often compared to Motörhead as both bands were trios fronted by singing bassists, and played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of Motörhead, helped them get their first record deal, and "Fast" Eddie Clarke was picked as producer for their debut album, "Filth Hounds of Hades". Heavily influenced by bands like Motörhead, they were a productive force of the NWOBHM movement, and are still making music in the 21st century. After legal and creative disputes, Algy Ward led one version of the group while guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans led the other (Tucker/Evans Tank).
2) Tank is the stage name of an American R&B singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Durrell Babbs.
Tank was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 1, 1976 and he was raised in Clinton, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Tank took an instant interest in singing and playing the piano, partially due to his alliance to religion — his cousin directed the church choir and helped the aspiring vocalist foster his singing talent from an early age. His stage name comes from his chiseled physique. A multi-sport athlete in high school, he had the opportunity to play college football. However, Tank decided to focus on music, and his talent eventually led him to an opportunity to sing background vocals for Ginuwine during one of Ginuwine's tours. Next, he found himself singing with Aaliyah and then Blackground Records founder Barry Hankerson, and his son (and company president) Jomo Hankerson took notice, offering Tank the opportunity to become a solo artist. In 2001, Tank realized his ambitions, seeing his debut album, Force of Nature, released to a national audience. This LP rendered the Top 10 R&B ballad, "Maybe I Deserve".
The next year, Tank released his second album, One Man. The single of the same name had chart success as well. He also co-produced the smash hit single "One Minute Man" by Missy Elliott in 2002.
Tank has also made a name for himself as a producer and writer, working with artists such as Dave Hollister, Marques Houston, Omarion, Jamie Foxx, Donell Jones, Monica among others. Along with The Underdogs, he has worked with many different artists over the years and was also a contributor to the score of the film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls, in which he also had a cameo.
Tank sold what was to be the lead single to his 3rd album, "I Luv Dem Girls", to Marques Houston who renamed it "Strip Club" (this song appears on Marques Houston's 3rd solo album "Veteran"). Tank has recently worked on Kelly Rowland's second album Ms. Kelly on the tracks "The Show" (a duet with Tank himself) and "Ghetto" featuring Snoop Dogg. "Ghetto" is also set to be the album's second single.
Tank released his 3rd solo album entitled "Sex, Love & Pain" on May 15, 2007. The first single of this album is "Please Don't Go". Tank has also formed a group with Ginuwine and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single will be a remix of "Please Don't Go", with an international tour entitled "The Shirts Off Tour" and search for a fourth member to follow.
Tank, along with Tyrese, are set to perform in West Oakland at the Paramount Theater on November 2, 2007.
3) Tank Taiwanese (呂建中), is a talented singer composer. TANK was said to be the next big thing after David Tao, Lee Hom and Jay Chou for his talent in composing songs, singing and dancing. Before releasing his debut album, TANK was already well known through his composed songs for S.H.E. Besides that, he was also known through his songs, 三國戀 (Romance in the 3 Kingdom) and 給我你的愛 (Give Me Your Love) which both are the ending themes for two famous Taiwan drama series. TANK also is the spokesperson for computer game, "激戰" (GuildWars) and composed a song for the game.
Since then, "TANK" had became one of the most popular keyword among new artists to be searched in search engines.
While TANK was choosing songs to be fitted to his debut album, he had uploaded several songs and had set a poll on wretch.cc to be listened by his friends and let them vote for songs to be fitted in his new album. To his surprise, thousands of fans came to his blog to listen to his songs.
TANK's debut album, Fighting 生存之道 (Fighting, The Law of Living) is a fusion of Hip Hop, RnB, Rock and traditional Chinese music. The album has been on the Taiwan album sales chart (G-music chart) number 1 spot for 3 weeks beating Tank's own idol, A Mei, Guang Liang and Rainie Yang. He is now still charting in G-music chart and his album has sold over 100,000 copies in Taiwan to date.

Power of the Hunter
Tank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold on to your toupees!
The end is coming closer now every word is said in spite
They ain't getting any younger they're too old to live by the knife
Can't you see it in their eyes can't you see it in their eyes
Their sick and tired of waiting now the hunters on the attack
Before they started fighting they knew damn well, they're not coming back
Don't believe it, look behind get your arse out of there, run for your life
Feel the power of the hunter...
So many of them wasted they'll never know what war's about
Those we loved, now are hated now all hell is breaking out
Can't you see it in their eyes can't you see it in their eyes
Don't believe it, look behind get your arse out of there, run for your life
Feel the power of the hunter...
And now that's over we'll never know how many died
At the tomb of the unknown soldier I hope the cowards are satisfied
Can't you see it in their eyes can't you see it in their eyes
Don't believe it, look behind get your arse out of there, run for your life
Feel the power of the hunter...
The lyrics of "Power of the Hunter" by Tank depict the chaos and destruction brought by war. The song suggests that the end is near and that every word said is in spite, indicating the magnitude of the conflict. The hunters are on the attack and the soldiers are sick and tired of waiting, leading them to take up arms to defend themselves. The desolation caused by war is evident in their eyes as they fight for their lives.
The lyrics also explore the emotional toll of war, including the loss of loved ones and the hatred that ensues. The fallen soldiers will never know the true meaning of war, and those left behind are forced to navigate a new reality where they may have to run for their lives. The power of the hunter is both all-encompassing and devastating, leading to the unknown number of casualties.
Overall, "Power of the Hunter" paints a bleak picture of the consequences of war, highlighting the futility and inhumanity of it all. The lyrics are a commentary on the cyclical nature of war and the greater conflict it represents.

Don't be sad mate, enjoy it. I got into Tank years ago, but you know what? By the time I got into them it was the late 90s and it was a disgrace to the human race to say you liked this kind of music in the UK. So I missed the hey day if you will. But then I realised this music has fans all over and it will always live on. And then people form bands like me based on the influence of bands Iike Tank. And sure Algy Ward is still alive and well and putting out Tank albums. Music lives forever so long as you have the album's in your collection 😊
Power Of Darkness
Got this for free two years ago when i was in high school. My friends father was selling all his records, mainly containing contemporary rock/pop bands from Germany, a few great prog rock pieces and then this+ some Accept records. I was beyond stoked to see this Tank LP in there!!
