The cover for Tank’s 1982 debut album “Filth Hounds of Hades” was probably one of the most iconic of the NWOBHM era and the album itself is recognised as a classic in the genre. Now, more than 35 years later, there are two different versions of the band. Lead singer Algy Ward’s Tank released the album “Sturmpanzer” through Dissonance Productions on 16th November. The track “No More War” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 21st December.
“Me Against You” is the second album from Greek metal band Full House Brew Crew and it was released by Rock of Angels Records (ROAR!) on 16th November 2018. It has been seven years since the release of the band’s debut album in 2011 as guitarist and lead singer Vagelis Karzis has been playing bass for Rotting Christ for the past few years. The album is at the heavier end of my listening spectrum and I included the track “Hollow God” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 23rd November.

“Coma” is the third album from American band Sunflower Dead and it was released on 16th November through Combat Records, which is part of David Ellefson’s EMP Label Group. The band’s lead singer Michael Del Pizzo was my guest on the Friday NI Rocks Show back in March 2016 when their second album was released. The track “Victim” from the new album was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 23rd November.
