Some strange releases used to emerge back in the day from bands either eager to promote a tour, or on a more positive note, to give the fans something extra to listen to. 'Alien' is a short EP from German thrashers Tankard who've spent their entire career in debt to the booze and in turn created numerous records in celebration of hangover's, piss-ups and thousands of bottles of beer. This type of humour often gets injected into the scene and that can prove to be a negative but Tankard are a no frills bunch who simply like to rock hard whilst slightly intoxicated! A handful of tracks, including the title cut, '666 Packs' and '(Empty) Tankard'. Not too furious, but certainly alcohol influenced thrash that I'm happy to lend an ear to.
6.5/10
