the greatest American rock band

Eiltank - Stiller Beobachter | American 2010

Some more Crust Metal to dig into with the German outfit, Eiltank. These guys are simply killer, fast and angry sounding, forming some time in the last few years and releasing just a split LP with fellow hardcore outfit, Asiflash to date with their latest seeing light this year. They play a great, D-beat style crust Metal that is ferocious from the start to the finish, but melodic at times as well. Fans of this kind of noise should definitely take notice and check these guys out. Highly Recommended!
