British power metal mercenaries Tank are set to unleash their tenth album, Valley Of Tears on September 18, 2015. Joining guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans on the group’s new CD are former Dragonforce frontman ZP Theart, who has been a member of Tank‘s touring lineup for the past two years. Also featured are new recruits Bobby Schottkowski, formerly of Sodom, on drums, and current Blind Guardian member Barend Courbois on bass. Evans says: “The title comes from the famous tank battle during the 1973 Yom Kippur War where one side was massively outnumbered but fought on regardless and against all odds secured a heroic victory. We feel that our style of metal is slowly disappearing and now we must also fight against the odds to keep it alive. We hope Valley Of Tears will inspire other bands and fans alike to never forget what real metal is all about.”
