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 Motƶrhead as both bands were trios fronted by singing bassists, and played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of Motƶrhead, 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 Motƶrhead, 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 ā 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.

TANK also is the spokesperson for computer game, "ęæę°" (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 ēåä¹é (Fighting, The Law of Living) is a fusion of Hip Hop, RnB, Rock and traditional Chinese music.

With just as many men strong, fascismo jumper
Your conscripts will fall as our prey they can't deny us of our victory
Who made the blunder that's what we're hearing every day
I think they 're getting it wrong it makes you wonder
Why we all have to stay it's not as if we're changing history
I don't really think they knew what they were doing here
It's not not a case of knowing who is wrong or right
They didn't realise that we'd come fighting back...
Just like something from hell, just like something from... hell
Fascismo jumper is content with lighting up the sky
While we shoot everything down the pressure that they are under when all the shells And bullets fly it's hard enough to keep their sanity
No set of values can apply when all these men die just help them into the ground
There's nothing left for them to lose but at least they had a good try
So say goodbye to all humanity
I don't really think they knew what they were doing here
It's not a case of knowing who is wrong or right now get out there boy and fight
Your fathers gladly walked half way 'round the world for you
One thing they overlooked and it's just one vital fact
They didn't realise that we'd come fighting back...
Just like something from hell, just like something from... hell
Rolling like thunder to a place eight thousand miles away
With just as many men strong fascismo jumper your conscripts will fall as our prey
They can't deny us of our victory
Who made the blunder that's what we're hearing every day
I think they're getting it wrong it makes you wonder why they did it anyway
It's not as if they're making history
I don't really think they knew what they were doing here
It's not a case of knowing who is wrong or right now get out there boy and fight
Your fathers gladly walked half way 'round the world for you
One thing they overlooked and it's just one vital fact
They didn't realise that we'd come fighting back...
Just like something from hell, just like something from... hell
The lyrics of Tank's song "Run Like Hell" talk about war and the confusion surrounding it. The first verse describes the soldiers moving forward "rolling like thunder" towards their destination, which is eight thousand miles away. The soldiers are strong and well-equipped, unlike the enemy soldiers, who are called "fascismo jumper" (a term created by the songwriter). The singer assures the listener that victory is inevitable, and their enemies will fall as prey. However, the confusion sets in when the singer wonders who made the blunder that led to this war. He believes that they are getting it wrong and that it is not essential to change history. The chorus repeats that the soldiers' fathers proudly walked halfway around the world, but they did not realize that they would come fighting back like something from hell.
The second verse is darker and portrays the madness of war. The singer describes both sides shooting everything down, and in such a situation, it is challenging for the soldiers to maintain their sanity. The singer wonders if any set of values applies in wars where people die, and there is nothing left for them to lose. The soldiers are only trying to do their duty, and the singer admires their efforts. Sadly, the singer feels like humanity is bidding them farewell, given the situation they are in. The song ends with the singer repeating the same questions, emphasizing that neither side knew what they were doing and that, in the end, they were all there to fight.
