Title: Shellshock
Album: Filth Hounds of Hades
Year: 1982
Label: Kamaflage
With their power trio of a bassist/vocalist, guitarist and drummer, Tank brings out some of the best Motorhead worship of the 80's. Their violent war-inspired lyrics give us a glimpse into the economic and global uncertainty of the 80s. This was the time when the Balkan wars tore the nation of England as much as the Vietnam war did for the US. The intro to the song samples 'hoo-hahs!' of ground troops and fighter planes and quickly rips into full throttle with dirty and raw guitar playing. The lyrics talk of excess ("I just don't know where to stop / I just can't get enough") and fall nothing short of NWOBHM standards.
