Black vinyl with poster and an 8 page booklet. Limited 500copies

On this album, Tank strains to match This Means War’s criticallylauded raunch, right down to aping its predecessor’s blueprint:three songs on side one, four songs on side two. That’s not to saythe group’s single-minded chugalug has gotten tamer: “The War DragsEver On” shudders with a ferocity that would make Motörhead proud,but is also a ringer for the last album’s “Just Like Something fromHell.” The first side remains a seamless display of what made Tankcomers in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal sweepstakes:blunderbuss guitars, cymbal-soaked drums, and vocals that soundlike they’re being phoned in from the bottom of a gravel pit. Tankshone brightest on these lengthy ruminations about the horrors ofwar; it’s hard to imagine how Metallica could have stepped down asimilar path without hearing these guys first. Side two is a moreinconsistent exercise plagued by an insistence on riffing for itsown sake. The gleeful dismantling of Aretha Franklin’s standard“Chain of Fools” is the standout — if only because it’s so unusualin this context — while “Too Tired to Wait for Love” and “Kill”pull off the old riotous majesty, but could stand some morewell-rounded melodies. Honour & Blood is a solid outing thatonly suffers when stacked against its predecessor. Tank andriff-mad peers like Raven and Warfare would succumb to an ’80s-eraDarwinian logic that stranded them at the altar — while Bon Joviand Def Leppard sailed into poppier pastures and hit the jackpot.It’s just like high school: The prevaricating prom kings got thecars and girls, while everyone else got to watch.
