Tankard are a thrash metal band from Frankfurt, Germany, founded in 1982. Together with Kreator, Destruction and Sodom, Tankard are often referred to as the "Big Teutonic 4" of German thrash metal. They released their first album in 1986 and have since continued writing and recording as they started: with fast thrash metal over beer and alcohol.
Tankard's debut album 'Zombie Attack' from 1986 was bursting with parody and full-throttle thrash metal. Many of the ten tracks originally came from the 'Alcoholic Metal' demo and themes of horror movies, moshing and beer quickly earned them and their hardcore punk tinged thrash fans throughout the burgeoning thrash metal scene. Furious, wild, catchy and above all entertaining - 'Zombie Attack' spawned live classics such as "(Empty) Tankard".
