British rock legends TANK have released the first song from their upcoming new album, War Nation, which is scheduled for release on June, 4th in Europe and June, 5th in USA (via MVD). Check out 'Don't Dream In The Dark' below:

Guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans, vocalist Doogie White and bassist Chris Dale are now joined by former Tank member Steve Hopgood on drums.

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.”

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.”

Cliff Evans explains the changed order of the songs: “We have changed the running order of the tracks. After we finished mixing, the songs now make a stronger album in this order.”

'War Nation'
