2015 HeavySounds pressing with 10 bonus tracks

The verynotion seems preposterous today (too good to be true, more like),but in 1981, underground legends Motörhead — the band who oncecorrectly boasted that if they moved in next door, your lawn woulddie — saw their landmark No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith live album enterthe U.K. Charts at number one! The New Wave of British Heavy Metalwas also in full swing that year, with early champions like Saxon,Iron Maiden and Def Leppard already building from strength tostrength, and a hungry throng of supplementary upstarts waiting inthe wings to take their best shot at denim-and-leather glory. Oneof these was South London’s Tank, and the reason we bring upMotörhead, first and foremost here, is because this power triocomposed of the brothers Mark and Pete Brabbs and gravel-throated,former Damned bassist Algy Ward, had Lemmy and co. to thank for thelion’s share of their musical inspiration — not to mention many oftheir earliest concert bookings leading up to first album FilthHounds of Hades. Released in early 1982 and produced by none otherthan Motörhead guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke, Filth Houndsnaturally contained its fair share of scorching, paint-peelingheavy rockers (see the title cut, “Run Like Hell” and opener“Shellshock,” whose silly caveman chants suggest just how much funwas had at these sessions), fueled by a similarly volatile cocktailof intensity and velocity as that made famous by the band’screative gurus. But the record also made room for more accessibleofferings like amusing singles “Blood, Guts & Beer” and “HeFell in Love with a Stormtrooper,” the sardonic “Who Needs LoveSongs,” and the surprisingly long-winded bluesy jam “That’s WhatDreams Are Made Of” (which some listeners may liken to Motörhead’s“The Chase Is Better Than the Catch”) — all of which helped toshowcase Tank’s enviable instrumental chops at less frantic speeds.Even so, it’s arguably another pair of teetotal punk metalmasterpieces — the self-explanatory “Struck by Lightning” and thearguably career best anthem, “Turn Your Head Around” — that ensureFilth Hounds of Hades’ standing as Tank’s best album ever, andqualifying it as an essential item in the record collection of anyserious ’80s metal fan.
