Tankard were formed by three classmates, Andreas "Gerre" Geremia, Axel Katzmann and Frank Thorwarth. At the time, the band was known as Vortex and Avenger until the current name of Tankard was discovered by the band in a dictionary. Their first song written was called "Ray Death", a song about nuclear war and their first gig was played in a local classroom in 1983. As the band were not permitted to drink alcohol in the school, they smuggled their beer in with milk cartons. Soon after, band member Bernhard Rapprich left the band as his conservative father did not want him "hanging around with a bunch of drunks" and was replaced by Andy Bulgaropulos.
In 1984, Tankard signed to Noise Records after narrowly missing out on signing with Steamhammer during a gig where guitarist Andy Bulgaropulous made the mistake of wearing a blue sweatshirt with a deer on the front creating the wrong image and causing Steamhammer to retract their offer of a contract.

Tankard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her husband is so angry kicks her in the teeth
He want to kill, he wants to poison
Poison - he's a maniac
Poison poison
Fuckin' little worms are creeping in her face
Smash the axe into her fuckin' ugly face
The blood is running out of her eyes
These lyrics from the song "Poison" by Tankard paint a very grim picture of domestic violence. The song describes a woman with a captivating beauty that drives her husband crazy with jealousy. He becomes so consumed with anger that he physically abuses her, even resorting to poisoning her. The lyrics emphasize the husband's sadistic and controlling behavior, suggesting that he enjoys watching her suffer. The lyrics also make disturbing reference to the man wanting to smash an axe into her face, causing her blood to run out of her eyes. While the language is graphic and extreme, the lyrics make it clear that the man's behavior is not justifiable and is in fact monstrous.
