German alcoholic thrashers TANKARD have issued the fourth studio video from the recording sessions for their new album, R.I.B. (“Rest in Beer”). The album is set for a June 20 release via Nuclear Blast.
Taking inspiration from the motto “never change a winning team,” TANKARD is working with producer Michael Mainx (BÖHSE ONKELZ, DER W, D-A-D, DISBELIEF), who helmed the band’s last effort. TANKARD has also chosen to use Patrick Strogulski, who created the artwork for A Girl Called Cerveza and is also a student of Sebastian Krüger, the artist that was responsible for TANKARD’s previous album artwork up to the 2012 release.
Comments Mainx: “Three times is the charm — I’m totally looking forward to have my hands on the controllers for TANKARD for the third time in year 2 after the band anniversary! Only a few more days left before we will take off recording R.I.B. at Frankfurt studio. This is gonna be interesting…”
Adds TANKARD vocalist Andreas “Gerre” Geremia: “We can hardly wait to be nailing down 10 new songs with Micha and are looking forward to a hopefully productive collaboration!”
