Tank - Power Of The Hunter (1982)


Dressed in a rather un-metal cover which could've dragged the band back to the '70s, thankfully, as soon as you give the disc a spin you're overpowered by the stench of pubs and motor oil. Tank once again prove they are hard as nails, grinding out their Motorhead-esque drinkin' metal for the masses. No real thrills, but the Zep strut of 'Some Came Running' is just wicked, and the road-worthy 'Used Leather' fills the nostril with the smell of burning rubber. Not keen on the cover of 'Crazy Horses', but the gravelled approach of 'Set Your Back On Fire' and the skull thumping 'Red Skull Rock' will have you flailing with reckless abandon, but it's the title cut which slices flesh, causes engines to roar and leaves tyre marks scorched on to the soul.


A rollicking record...as expected.


7.5/10
