The second compilation album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
The album includes re-recorded versions of the band's best songs of their 25-years period of existence.
Some will say that the original versions are better, since they bear the old days' atmosphere, and others will defend the band's right to fresh things up and probably correct some mistakes. The latter option, was chosen by Tankard and AFM Records to celebrate the band's 25 years of non-stop beer consuming by releasing a best-of compilation that feature classical tracks in re-recorded versions.  
Tankard was formed in 1982 where the story tells that during their first live performance in their classroom they were drinking beer out of milk cartons since it was forbidden to consume alcohol in school. After that glorious day, the Germans released several albums where they managed to sound exactly the same — the band still plays the classic German Thrash Metal with the 80s attitude and sound!
All these classic tunes can be found among the 65 minutes of this compilation that comes with a polished sound production that takes them into another level. It's amazing that the re-recorded versions have the same feeling and atmosphere as they did 20 years ago. This compilation is the best soundtrack for relentless beer drinking, hard moshing and serious headbanging, featuring Thrash hymns like "Zombie Attack" and "Maniac Forces"! Without any doubt, this is the definite release for all the Tankard/beer fans who still respect the old-school sound! So, heads and glasses up and always keep in mind the band's famous quote "we need another f*****g beer"!!!!

The second re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash/Speed Metal band.
This album is not only stands the test of time as one of the band’s most enduring classics but also becomes one of Germany’s finest records ever made and shows the band is more than just a cheap gimmick band but something much more impressive overall. This is a much more improved Tankard than what was shown on the debut, as they stretch themselves out a lot more and offers some lengthier, more technically-involved songs that are still in perfect keeping with the energy and feel of the debut. Gone is the Punk influence and replaced with more Thrash, and the Progressive feel of some of their riffing is far more accomplished than most would ever dare to write in conjunction with the band, yet the same party vibe and cheesy lyrics remain in the sound, effectively giving the band a true classic in their discography and overall one of the finer thrash records to come from the prolific German scene of the 80s!
A true must have for any fan of the genre!!
Fight for your right to drink pure beer!!!

The fifth compilation album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Hailing from Frankfurt, this booze fuelled tanker truck of a Thrash Metal band was formed in 1982. Not only is Tankard still kicking ass, they are doing from the peak of the thrash metal scene in Germany.  With no desire to walk the path most bands endure, diving in and out of obscurity, breaking up, rebuilding and giving it “another go”, Tankard has trucked through the last 30 some odd years producing quality Metal with a certain “charm”. This in fact sets Tankard apart from the screaming monotony of the sub-genre. However, this “charm” is not to be taken lightly. The quality of musical endowment is not lost on the group of metal heads, as the flow of fast guitars and powerful rhythms set the pace for very memorable and ear shattering pieces.
"Hymns For The Drunk" is a “best of” album, collecting songs from 2002 to 2010 during the time Tankard was signed with AFM Records. The album exemplifies the revival of the band and feels like a tribute to that period which seems to not only be a creatively active time for Tankard but also serves as a memorial to the late Henner (AFM) who helped to revive the band and lead them to producing 5 albums during their time with AFM Records.
Seriously, though being funny, sometimes takes away from the quality of the music and can turn off a lot of listeners just due to the joke getting old. But this isn’t the case with Tankard. Their musical prowess is much too strong for this theory to apply. The fact that these guys have been together 35 years (With a few changes along the way) is good enough reason to believe how tight these tunes can be. With a variety of riffs, mixed in with powerful head banging thrash, it’s hard to believe any metal head wouldn’t enjoy this album.
"Hymns For The Drunk" is a true Metal, with all the right intentions written into their songs to entice listeners with relating to what all metal heads praise, the all mighty brew!

The first re-release of the seventeenth full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
In time for the band’s 35-year jubilee, the Frankfurt-based cult Thrashers released their new, highly praised album. And they are back, angrier than ever!
A catchy continuation of the band's previous album, “R.I.B”, with strong lyrics, “One Foot In The Grave” is heavy as a tank, powerful as a train, quick as a race car!! 
Without a doubt, “One Foot In The Grave” is one of the greatest Tankard albums from recent years. With this album, Tankard releasing their full potential, as a full-speeded, unstoppable Thrash Metal monster.
“One Foot In The Grave” is definitely a monumental album of Thrash Metal titans. Don't even try to miss this Thrash Metal gem!!!

The first re-release of the sixteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Two years after the release of "A Girl Called Cerveza", Frankfurt drunkards are back with a new record. Even after 30 years, the band still enjoys looking for new things to craft a sound that is fully their own. This record is far closer to classic German Thrash Metal than to Tankard's trademark style. The wide variety of rhythms and riffs is a distinguishing trait of "R.I.B.". Arrangements appear fuller and harder than usual, and Gerre's powerful voice does not allow any contradictions. Its tone is often aggressive, and the cheerfulness is more in the artwork and lyrics rather than the music. Maybe this is a consequence of those gigs with Kreator and Destruction some months ago? Whatever the reason, most fans will be pleased with this album!

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
This Tankard album came as a huge surprise. Tankard improved musically from the rather simple HC influenced Thrash from the 80’s we all loved.
Tankard musically sound like a typical representative of the German Thrash school, meaning sophisticated violence. Of course, you simply can’t expect them to be serious in their lyrics. That’s one constant they didn’t change for 20 years already and never should. It’s simply nice to see a band that takes music as fun.
“The Beauty And The Beer” reminds so much of the later set of Holy Moses albums, or Destruction or even Kreator, but with a major difference to them. This album contains not a single bad song! Perhaps it’s their advantage that they’re making albums skipping the fillers, leaving only killer material. This is a simple, yet pure display of excellent riffs and just kick-ass straightforward Thrash Metal songs that are perfect to bang your head to. With what’s presented here, they’re a serious candidate for the throne!

The first re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band, and, for the first time on vinyl, the debut full-length studio album by Tankard’s Punk/Metal side project, Tankwart.
"The Tankard" (1995) was the final album released on Noise by Tankard. Where Tankard touched some serious grounds with "Two-Faced", the follow-up album, "The Tankard" strives towards notably more familiar and lightsome directions. In fact, this release may be one of Tankard’s lightest productions – by all means, heavy this is not. With a couple of exceptions, the music has a particularly happy sound despite some serious lyrics still occasionally appearing, and it seems as if the band had slowed down a bit for this record. As a whole, it’s pretty harmless stuff, not exactly a collection of classic material, although many tracks here are perhaps more memorable than on an average Tankard album. Some good, uplifting hollers like "Minds On The Moon" and "Fuck Christmas" sound particularly relaxed and play in an enjoyable manner. Perpetuating the more serious side shown on its predecessor "Two-Faced", its sound was a melting pot of their signature thrash with elements of speed, power, hardcore, and a dash of melody entwined with some of their catchiest choruses to date.  So, it is somewhat inconsistent here and there, but some variation at times is only a good thing for this band.
The same year, Tankard redressed the humorous balance with their Tankwart side project of German language covers done in a Punk/Metal style, much to their fans' amusement.
"Aufgetankt" (1994) is the debut album by Tankwart, the side project of Tankard. The project covered a number of German hits from the notorious ‘Neue Deutsche Welle’ era of Pop music from the early 80s. It includes "Liebesspieler" of Die Toten Hosen, "Elke" of Die Artze, "Sternenhimmel" of Hubertkah, "Hurra, Hurra Die Schule Bennt" of Extrabeit and "Skandal Im Sperrbezirk" of the Spider Murphy Gang.  Tankwart means gas station attendants.

The thirteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Tankard have never been about reinventing the wheel or displaying ground-breaking new ideas, but there are a number of tracks that have the fortune of sounding recognizably Tankard.
Album opener, "Octane Warriors", though not without its similarities to Slayer, sets the scene for a fun-filled 45 mins of mid-paced (by Thrash standards) catchy riffage. The album's video song "Stay Thirsty" has all the elements of a classic "Ride The Lightning"-era song. "Myevilfart", the owner of one of the greatest lyrics ever sung in Metal ("The burning flame of power/ My evil fart!"), has all the fun that someone singing something so ridiculous should be having while "Echoes of Fear" has the kind of groove Destruction have intermittently shown over their past few albums and a headbanging chorus riff to boot.
On "Thirst", Tankard have a near-perfect balance of what makes them so essential for any Thrasher. To beer!!

Tankard is living proof of what could possibly be better paired than beer and German Thrash Metal. With close to 30 years of guzzling and fiery Thrashing under their belts, Frankfurt’s kings of Metal unleash "Vol(l)ume 14" upon the thirsting masses.
Featuring 10 new hymns extolling the virtues of alcohol and other more serious subject matter, "Vol(l)ume 14" will yet again delight every fan of first-class Thrash Metal and show that Tankard are one of the most unique bands on Earth!

The debut solo album of classical music by legendary Finnish Operatic soprano singer.
Recorded 21st and 22nd November 2011 at Lakeuden Risti Church, built on the design by architect Alvar Aalto in the middle of XX century in the Finnish town Seinäjoki, the album offers twelve different compositions of the classical "Ave Maria" theme, performed by Tarja with music of various composers, among them Paolo Tosti, David Popper, Astor Piazzolla, Johann Sebastian Bach / Charles Gounod and many others. The closing track of the album presents a composition by Tarja Turunen herself. On the album, you can hear the church organ, cello and harp.
Tarja Turunen started her career with classical music. The classically trained soprano studied Church Music at Sibelius Academy in Finland as well as German Lied at the Music University of Karlsruhe, Germany. From 1996 to 2005, Turunen was the vocalist in symphonic metal band Nightwish. Aftere, she started solo-cariere as a Tarja band.
"All the musicians performed the songs together with me without an audience. Nothing has been edited nor any studio tricks have been used. So what you hear on the record, is purely how the songs sounded in Lakeuden Risti church during the recording session", - Tarja Turunen.

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal singer and she’s band.
"Colours In The Dark" is riskier than Tarja’s previous three solo albums. The album is a huge panorama of Operatic Metal, where some artistic experimentation is attempted, but repeatedly crushed under the album’s bombast. The dramatic scope of the strings and choirs, guitars and woodwinds, arrangement and high-gloss presentation is truly wondrous.
Tarja Turunen’s voice is a force of nature, dominant and dominating. The former lead singer for Nightwish fills her lungs and turns "Colours In The Dark" into the fury of the four winds. From the bombastic opener “Victim of Ritual” to the exquisite closer “Medusa”, in which she shares her hurricane-proof microphone with Blue October’s Justin Furstenfeld, "Colours In The Dark" is a colossal battle royal of operatic soprano, keyboard orchestra and Alex Schlopp’s ENGL amplifier madness. 
On "Colours In The Dark", the guitars are to die for, so to speak. The rhythm section is perfection and above all, Christian Kretschmar’s keyboards are magical. There are many instances where the orchestral emulation invokes the old question, is it The Hamburg Philharmonic or is it a bank of Access synthesizers?
The name of the album, as the cover image, came as a metaphor from the idea that life has a large range of colours and the dark absorbs all of them, containing every colour. Titles of the album's songs were revealed from times to times through Tarja's blog, like she did with "My Winter Storm" (2007). The album's name came out of the song "Until Silence". This is the third time the album's name came out of one of the songs. The artwork and some promotional pictures for this album were taken mainly in India during the What Lies Beneath World Tour in 2011. 
This is definitely one of the brightest albums in Rock in 2013 and proves to be a milestone for Heavy Symphonic Rock.
