Details: In 2000, German thrash metal icons Tankard released their ninth and defining album "Kings Of Beer", which would also become responsible for the band's nickname. It was also the beginning of a new era: Andi Gutjahr not only joined the band as a new guitarist (replacing founding member Bulgaropulos), but also as a new songwriter who shaped and developed the sound of the thrash metal legends. Now that the 25th anniversary is just around the corner and the album has not been available on CD and vinyl for years, REAPER ENTERTAINMENT has given the classic a complete facelift. The album has been remastered at Pearlsound Studios and has been given new artwork by Kai Brockschmidt, which pays tribute to the deceased original cover model "Bomber", who was a very good friend of the band, and shows him in heaven.
