The band&#8217;s new album is tentatively due this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Commented TANKARD vocalist Andreas &#8220;Gerre&#8221; Geremia: &#8220;As the want-away footballers always say, I&#8217;m looking for a new athletic challenge\u2026 baloney! We&#8217;ve only inked a deal with Nuclear Blast because they&#8217;ve offered most prest-money for a transfer\u2026. Hahaha, okay, seriousness aside: We&#8217;re totally happy to have found accommodation at the metal label No. 1 and are chuffed about the collaboration, hoping that this will give TANKARD a big boost in their 30th year of existence! It took quite a while &#8217;till we came ashore here, but then again, Rome wasn&#8217;t built in a day, as we all know!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Added Andy Siry, Head of A&#038;R at Nuclear Blast: &#8220;From the &#8216;Hardcore Party 1987&#8217; in Oberursel (live TANKARD, ANGEL DUST and DESTRUCTION) on, I&#8217;ve taken TANKARD into my heart. With the signing of TANKARD&#8217;s contract, the &#8216;best-case scenario&#8217; has finally come to pass.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m absolutely delighted that we&#8217;ve come to an agreement with our Hessian buddies \u2014 even though I&#8217;ll unfortunately suffer from the signing party&#8217;s aftermath for some more days, haha.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joke apart. I&#8217;m very happy that TANKARD will be members of the Nuclear Blast family from now on and will enrich our roster of dyed-in-the-wool thrash metal bands. And announcing this new signing on Valentine&#8217;s Day proves that this is more than just a business matter to us. After 25 years of &#8216;concubinage,&#8217; we&#8217;ve finally tied the knot in the big anniversary year (25 years of Nuclear Blast, 30 years of TANKARD). By the way: We&#8217;re expecting our first offspring to be born this summer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>TANKARD&#8217;s fourteenth studio album, &#8220;Vol(l)ume 14&#8221;, was released on December 17, 2010 via AFM Records. The limited-edition digipak version of the album includes a bonus DVD containing footage of TANKARD&#8217;s performance at the 2009 edition of the Headbangers Open Air festival, which took place July 23-25, 2009 in in Brande-H\u00f6rnerkirchen, Germany<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: Blabbermouth.net<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tankard.info\/\">http:\/\/www.tankard.info\/<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>German alcoholic thrashers TANKARD have inked a deal with Nuclear Blast Records.
