Tankard - Announce EP Release In September
Two months ago, the German thrash metal legends Tankard played the Eintracht Frankfurt club anthem "Schwarz-Weiß Wie Schnee" in front of over 30.000 enthusiastic Frankfurt supporters, a short time before the kick-off of the German cup final between Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund at Berlin's Olympic Stadium. The band just announced that a new version of the EP Schwarz-Weiß Wie Schnee, which has been completely sold out for over ten years, will be released on CD and 7" Vinyl on 15 September 2017 via Nuclear Blast.
The Eintracht anthem, which has been played in the stadium for ten years before every home game of Eintracht Frankfurt, has now been completely re-recorded by the band. The thrashers were supported by Henni Nachtsheim (Badesalz), Ande Werner (Mundstuhl) and Roy Hammer (Roy Hammer & Die Pralinées), who can be heard in the backing choir.
The tracklist of the new EP:
01. Schwarz-Weiß Wie Schnee (Studio version 2017)
02. Forza SGE
03. Schwarz-Weiß Wie Schnee (1999er Version)
04. One Foot In The Grave
05. A Girl Called Cerveza
06. (Empty) Tankard (Live, 2016)
Tankard released their 17th studio album, One Foot In The Grave, last month and with the enormous support of their loyal fan base, the band entered the German album charts at #26, which marks the highest entry in their career. The band said the following: "Actually, our humble goal was to sweep Helene Fischer from #1. But after having done this already two weeks ago, at the Olympiastadion in Berlin during the football finals, we are now super happy to have reached the highest chart position in the band's history. Many thanks to our manager Buffo, to Martin Buchwalter, who produced the record, to Flori and team Nuclear Blast for their endless support and, of course, last but not least, many thanks to all the faithful fans! In this spirit: 'Senile with Style' and cheers to the next 35 years!"
