Cliff Evans, TANK\u2019s guitarist, comments the album: \u201c\u2018Valley of Tears\u2019 will be our first album release featuring the amazing vocal talents of former Dragonforce frontman ZP Theart and marks a new era for the band. He\u2019s injected so much new energy and inspiration into the band since joining us in 2013 as part of our touring line up for shows in South America, Europe and the US. Now it\u2019s time to capture this sound on our new record \u2018Valley of Tears\u2019 which is scheduled for release in June 2015. To complement ZP\u2019s vocals we now have one of the best rhythm sections in metal: Bobby Schottkowski, formerly drumming with Sodom and current Blind Guardian member \u2013 Barend Courbois on bass. Together with Mick Tucker and myself on guitars we\u2019re ready to take another big step forward in the evolution of TANK and make another metal album of great quality that will surely stand the test of time.
\nOur last two releases \u2018War Machine\u2019 and \u2018War Nation\u2019 (Metal Mind Productions) were two of our bestselling albums and featured amazing performances from former Rainbow\/Malmsteen and current Schenker vocalist \u2013 Doogie White. Now it\u2019s time to move on to the next chapter. \u2018Valley of Tears\u2019 is heading in a much heavier direction and as always will be driven to the max by our trademark Gibson Les Paul\/Marshall stack wall of sound. Production will be handled once again by upcoming mega-producer Phil Kinman.\u201d<\/p>\n
The band return to Italy for the first time since 2010 to headline four shows. The list of gigs includes the following dates:
\nApril 1st ROME \u2013 Jailbreak Club
\nApril 2nd FLORENCE \u2013 Cycle Club
\nApril 3rd BOLOGNE \u2013 Freakout Club
\nApril 4th MILAN \u2013 Blue Rose Club<\/p>\n
More dates in Europe to be announced soon!<\/p>\n
Evans: \u201cWe recently played an exclusive show aboard the 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise in the Caribbean to showcase some of the new songs for the first time which went down extremely well with the fans. The cruise was such a great experience and we highly recommend booking yourself on the boat for next year. We\u2019re really looking forward to getting back out on tour next month when we play our first Italian dates since 2010. We\u2019ll be playing some songs from the new album plus a great selection of TANK classics.
