Count me in as part of Tank's battalion. I first heard "Don't Walk Away" back in 1981 thanks to a British friend of mine who went to my local high school in America. Sadly he passed away in 1982 but before that, he went back to England with his family for vacation and came back with more albums, among them Raven's "Rock Until You Drop". Anyhow, Tank's been with me these past 32 years and I have no plans of changing that, OR my love for the NWOBHM. Rock on. man! \m/
Flame on! They're coming down from the hills Attacking from both sides... They're closing in for the kill It's only a matter of time... We're running out of ammo fast We must stand at the line, every man to the last They're all around us, so no get away Each and every hour, it goes on all day Use the blade and run them through... With no shot left, what else can we do Where are they coming from? Echoes of a distant battle... echoes Echoes of a distant battle... echoes They're saluting us as warriors There's hardly a man alive... They disappear in a cloud of dust And attack for the last time... We're running out of ammo fast We must stand at the line, every man to the last They're all around us, so no get away Each and every hour, it goes on all day Use the blade and run them through... with no shot left, what else can we do Where are they coming from? Echoes of a distant battle... echoes Echoes of a distant battle... echoes They came down from the hills Attacked from both sides They closed in for the kill Hit us for the last time We're running out of ammo fast We must stand at the line, every man to the last They're all around us, so no get away Each and every hour, it goes on all day Use the blade and run them through... With no shot left, what else can we do Where are they coming from? Echoes of a distant battle... echoes Echoes of a distant battle... echoes
Its actually super cheese album art. But tank is the shit. Kinda like iron maiden dance of death album. Fucking awful album art but super rad music. To each their own I guess!!! Lol!! Keep on keepin on!
Alot of Tank songs desribe war, but alot of Inspiration seems to mainly come from British Vs Japanese scenerios of Burma/India in World War II, this song seems to be about the Battle of Imphal, the events desribed and the "please" of "we're running out of ammo fast" and "Where are they coming from???", they also did "march on Sons of Nippon" aswell, which depicts Japanese in WWII.
And on Finland, echoes are coming from east. And our army's commander from second ww. (Marsalkka Mannerheim) diary 1945/46 told tuhat Russia IS and will ALLWAYS BE IMPERIAL STATE, like last thousand years is shown us, and they'll never gonna change!! And he really knowed( he was russian tsaar's Chevalier guard's capten commanding 20000 elite troops) and after that he camed to Finland commanding our civil war's/indepent war's winning side. 1917. And after that, when Soviet army attacked 11/1917 without warning WHO we layed our hope..? Mannerheim of course. Bit now im gonna stop zitzatting before i go booom. But echoes from Ukrain are loud&clear. But this much i dare tell ya,that If we had Even 10% help what Ukrain have had, in Petersburg street name's would written FINNISH. But that's another story!!🎩⚔️
Guessing this is about Rorke's Drift... Distant Battle (Battle of Isandlwana). Running out of ammo. Running enemy through with bayonets. Attacked from all sides. Zulus saluting them as warriors. Either way great song.

This is the song that started my life long love of metal!
What a f***ing song! It really grabs you by the ba**s and keeps a firm grip right ‘til the end. Hail Algy and Tank!
True heavy metal.
At its purest
RIP Algy. You'll be much missed🙏
Flame on!
They're coming down from the hills
Attacking from both sides...
They're closing in for the kill
It's only a matter of time...
We're running out of ammo fast
We must stand at the line, every man to the last
They're all around us, so no get away
Each and every hour, it goes on all day
Use the blade and run them through...
With no shot left, what else can we do
Where are they coming from?
Echoes of a distant battle... echoes
Echoes of a distant battle... echoes
They're saluting us as warriors
There's hardly a man alive...
They disappear in a cloud of dust
And attack for the last time...
We're running out of ammo fast

Use the blade and run them through...

The song is about ZULU the 60s film
Rorkes Drift
intro riff is pure victory
Wonderful song! Excellent group!
Nobody can sing or replace Algy Ward. That's how Lucifer sounds if you ever happened to run into him. All hail Tank💥💪🎸
Oh, its sleazy guitar riff rules! 🥳😎🤘
This is the definition of Heavy Metal
I saw them yesterday! They kicked ass!
Not without Algy...
Heard them in Tony Jaspers HM Show on BFBS in the 80s. 👍👍👍

the epitome of nwobhm--unknown and underrated.
this band in their This Means War/Honour and Blood period were my fave band along with Metallica (Kill em all era )
Excellent
Classic!
Music For Nations!!!!!
Damn, I always imagine a line of soldiers behind sandbags firing at the enemy when I hear this song.
@MrJoe2112 dude, they are active, i seen them at HOA 2009 - AWESOME GIG!!!!
oh man this is awesome! WERE ARE BANDS LIKE THIS TODAY?! well i guess its down to my band to start kicking ass... yea...
It's time to calm down! TANK! YEAHHH!!!
Guessing this is about Rorke's Drift...
Distant Battle (Battle of Isandlwana).
Running out of ammo.
Running enemy through with bayonets.
Attacked from all sides.
Zulus saluting them as warriors.
Either way great song.
these guys toured with motorhead
R.I.P. ALGY
Mick Tucker riff and song
I LISTENED TO THE REMAKE OF THIS SONG, NOT NEARLY AS GOOD, THE ORIGINAL IS THE BEST, AWESOME SONG
TRUE HEAVY METAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
belter tune this.never really listen to these before!
It makes more sense for Tank to make songs based off of the British vs the Japanese because theyre all British.
@codyjt5150
I gotta agree with ya. I was born in 1993. We got giped with music...
Hi I'm from the church of awesome and I'm here to talk to you about Tank.
the brilliant algy ward, a great rocker from the saints, the damned through to the mighty tank, rock n roll all hail rock n roll! fuck every shit!
2020!!!
@Danny011189
Don't worry you're not alone, gonna start something up pretty soon!
@Danny011189 Try Inepsy, Children of Technology, Baphomet's Blood, or Midnight. All are legit
in Lauda-Königshofen and Brande-Hörnerkirchen
this soo dam good where can i get this on cd?
King Edward III's battle hymn!!!!YEAH!EDWARD!
Too bad Algy Ward didn't write this while he was with the Damned. Believe-it-or-else but I could hear Dave Vanian crooning to this!
They make me want to get a real tank and destroy everything while blasting them in my tank lol.
Tank owns, bottom line

You got it man, been listening to Tank since my teen days on the early 80's and they're still as good now as they were then!

This is nothing but a Powerslave riff. Or should I say Maiden ripped it off? I love Maiden anyway.
