British rock legends TANK have released their new album, War Nation. The initial release of the album includes a nice surprise for all fans - three hidden tracks which won’t be available elsewhere. These are:

'War Machine' (demo) - original demo recorded at Nation studios, London 2010

'W.M.L.A' - acoustic unplugged track

'Feast of the Devil' (live) - recorded live in Germany 2011

Guitarist Cliff Evans describe the new album, “As with our War Machine album, War Nation will include a variety of different influences and styles. With a wealth of musical ability to draw from, we don’t like to limit ourselves. Individually we’ve worked with names such as RITCHIE BLACKMORE, BRUCE DICKINSON, PAUL DI’ANNO AND YNGWIE MALMSTEEN. So many bands release albums now where once you’ve listened to the first two songs you’ve heard the whole album. Not with Tank. Each song that makes it onto our album has to deserve it. Our standards are high.”

Singer Doogie White continues, “With songs like ‘Justice for All’ and ‘Grace of God’ we are upgrading the Tank sound while retaining all the elements that made ‘War Machine’ so successful. There are killer riffs and haunting melodies and lyrics that you can take from, what you want, or indeed what you need.”
