Tank Recruits Diamond Head Drummer
New Wave Of British Heavy Metal veterans Tank has announced a new addition to their ranks, with the confirmation of drummer Karl Wilcox, who previously made his name behind the kit of fellow NWOBHM outfit Diamond Head. His new bandmates weighed in on the recruitment with the following messages:
Mick: "Karl's drumming style fits perfectly with the direction we're heading in and he really understands our music. We all grew up listening to the same bands so we have that special connection when it comes to playing and creating music."
Cliff: "It's gonna be so powerful having Karl driving the band along on stage and in the studio. He's a hard hitter and knows how to hold down a groove."
Gav: "I've had first hand experience of sharing stages with Karl over the last decade so can't wait to lock up with him and kill the groove."
Marcus: "Karl is the perfect rock drummer to take the band forward, bring the noise!"
