Beast of Bourbon

Tankard is such a great change of pace from so many thrashers. These guys are great musicians and the sound is tight. The lyrics are often ridiculous and fun and always include references to BEER! Beast of Bourbon is one of their best. Totally underrated band.

Nice!

I had never really heard of Tankard until the last few years. I started listening to some other German thrash bands and decided to give this one a shot.I almost agree with one of the other reviewers who claims this is on par with "Reign In Blood". I have listened to Beast of Bourbon many times since buying it and each time, there is something new to appreciate. Each song is very thrashy, but still catchy. There is some excellent guitar and drum work on here. The lyrics may be my favorite part because the band doesn't do the cliched lyrics that most thrash bands repeat ad nauseam. Tankard mainly addresses drinking beer, aliens, and anal fisting. Great entertainment. The production on this cd is also excellent. Fantastic album, I just wish these cds were more readily available in America so they would be reasonably priced.In summary: great cd. Enjoy.

I haven't been into anything Tankard has done since 'The Morning After'. I have heard their other releases, but they just seemed generic. 'Beast of Bourbon' actually seems inspired. It has a great production and is some very fine modern day thrash. They have the same sound they always did, but it never sounded so good.

surprisingly good and fast music cd. headbanging thrash/speed.as always Tankard brings us exciting guitar 'melodies'.no favorites, all tracks are excellent. the drumming is awesome too.bears similarities of kreator's 2001 and 2005 cd's or vice versa in music patterns.

Seriously, this is on the level of a "Reign In Blood". I'm not even joking folks. Too bad this album has such bad distribution. Why does garbage like the new Death Angel and latest Anthrax releases get all this coverage but this doesn't? The metal scene was never fair. Anyway...get this and be pulverized into tiny bits! Non-stop catchy thrash songs with amazing vocals and lots of aggression. Nothing weak about this at all. Yep...TANKARD, folks. No joke.

Outstanding CD- powerful guitars and drumming, production is awesome. Interesting (and comical songwriting). True headbanging masterpiece.Only by listening to it, you'll appreciate what true heavy thrash is.

One of their best albums, thrash metal from the first second to the last.Even if most of their songs about beer and alcohol, that separate them from the rest and makes them unique.In this album I do not see filler, all songs are addicting, uncompromising, furious and good for headbanging and for every mood.‘Die with a Beer in Your Hand’ is the best song here, and one of their best on all discography, this song alone is so addicting and never tiring, that defines Tankard the best.Other top tracks: ‘Under Friendly Fire’, ‘Dead Men Drinking’, ‘Genetic Overkill’ and ‘Beyond the Pubyard’.Their artworks are always fabulous to watch, worth to buy their albums just for their artwork covers.One of the best thrash metal post 2000’s albums and every thrasher should own it.

Gerre und die Jungs von Tankard liefern hier einen sehr köstlichen Thrash Metal Scheibe ab. Kein Metal Fan bleibt hier durstig. Dieser Band ist generell durchaus zu empfehlen. Von mir kriegt diese Scheibe 5 Sterne.

Schöne Neuauflage von Tankard, klasse

Great album!

Fantastic album!

かつて3rd、4thあたりを聴いていた当時、悪くはないけどそれほどハマらなかった印象がありました。しかし最近動画サイトにて、たまたまタンカードの曲を耳にした際「こっ、これは・・・！」と思い急に最近の曲が気になりはじめました。ためしに10〜13thまでのアルバムを一挙に購入しサラッと聞いてみると11th（こちらのアルバム）が一番気に入りました。もちろんこれから聞き込めば感想は変わるかもしれません。どのアルバムも恐ろしくカッコ良く、恐ろしくソリッドであり、恐ろしく音質が良いのです。変化球ではなく直球勝負のフルスロットルスラッシュサウンドが楽しめます。スラッシャーとしてはコレを聴かずに一生を終えるのは悔いが残るところでした。もはやソドム、デストラクション、クリーターと並ぶドイツ四天王と呼んでもおかしくありません。おっとホーリーモーゼスもいますね・・。超おすすめデス！
