Tank are to release new album ‘Re-Ignition’ through Cleopatra on April 26.
This features re-recordings of 11 songs from the band’s first four albums. This includes guest appearances from Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth on ‘Shellshock’ and Sodom’s Tom Angelripper on ‘Power Of The Hunter’. Says guitarist Cliff Evans: “We approached US label Cleopatra Records to see if they would be interested in releasing the album. They jumped on it straight away and suggested the possibility of adding some special guests on the album. Maybe some artists who were influenced by Tank back in the ’80s. Great idea! We recruited Cradle of Filth frontman Dani Filth to record a version of ‘Shellshock’ in his own unique style and also German thrash legend Tom Angelripper from Sodom who has taken ‘Power of the Hunter’ to another insane level.”
The album also marks the recording debut of new vocalist David Readman (ex-Pink Cream 69) and bassist Randy Van Der Elsen. They join Evans, guitarist Mick Tucker and drummer Bobby Schottkowski.
