British rock legends TANK will release their upcoming new album, War Nation, on June 4th in Europe and June 5th in the US (via MVD). You can listen to the title track 'War Nation' below. Guitarist Cliff Evans comments on the track: “The song ‘War Nation’ is the title track that opens our new album and sets the scene for what's to follow. It thunders in with a classic Tank guitar riff, which wouldn't sound out of place on any of the legendary rock albums of the '80's, and has a chorus that plants itself firmly in your mind."

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.”
