Long-running British heavy metal band Tank are set to release their new album War Machine on October 25 in Europe via Metal Mind Productions (and on December 7th in the U.S. through MVD). The production was handled by Pedro Ferreira (The Darkness, Theraphy?, Meat Loaf) and the bulk of the recording was done at Pedrock Studios in London. Drums were laid down by Tony Newton at Steve Harris' (Iron Maiden) Barnyard Studios.

Due to the changed line-up War Machine will combine all the influences and experience of individual band members. Guitarist Cliff Evans states: "We intend to make this a classic British rock/metal album that every fan should have in their collection." Adds the band: "We think it's going to be our best album so far."

War Machine will be released in four different versions: as a jewel case CD, a limited-edition digipak CD including two bonus tracks and LP with one bonus track. The Japanese edition of the album will include two exclusive bonus tracks which won't be available elsewhere.

A demo version of a new track, called "Judgement Day", is now streaming on the band's official website.

01. Judgement Day
02. Feast Of The Devil

Tankard have issued the following statement:

"We just recorded our new album "Thirst" coming out on December 19th via AFM-Records! The new album was produced again by Andy Classen at his Stage One Studio! More details about "Thirst" you will find the next days in this section!"

In other news the band had to cancel two French live dates in October. Tankard commented: "We are very very sorry to inform you that we have to cancel both our shows in Paris and Marseille/France on october 3rd and 4th. Reason: The premature twins of our guitarist Andi are very sick. His little son Jannis will even have another dangerous surgery in Hannover 350 km from Frankfurt away next week so there's no way that we can play those concerts. We hope to play shows next year instead. If we have more news about this we'll inform you here. Sorry but this is a serious emergency."
