Tankard

Tankard is a German thrash metal band renowned for their unabashed celebration of beer and alcohol within their music and imagery, carving out their unique space in the metal scene as one of the pioneers of "alcohol metal." Formed in 1982 in Frankfurt, Tankard quickly became a part of the burgeoning thrash metal movement in Germany, which included contemporaries like Kreator, Destruction, and Sodom. Their approach fused high-octane, aggressive thrash riffs with irreverent and often humorous lyrics, primarily centered on partying and drinking.

Over their career, Tankard has maintained a consistent output of albums and is regarded for their loyalty to the thrash genre even as trends have come and gone. With a discography that spans well over three decades, they've established a loyal fan base and have remained true to their roots. Some of their most recent releases include "Pavlov's Dawgs," "Lockdown Forever," and "Beerbarians," which exemplify their commitment to fast, heavy music with a humorous twist. The band’s 2022 release of "Schwarz-weiß wie Schnee" is a nod to their earlier work, showcasing their enduring spirit and love for metal and merrymaking. Despite their extensive career and countless live shows, which are chronicled in live albums like "Open All Night Reloaded - Live at Rock Hard Festival 2007," Tankard shows no signs of slowing down, much to the delight of thrash metal enthusiasts and beer lovers worldwide.
