THE TANK features former members of Gameface, Brown Lobster Tank, Smartbomb Ca, Welt, Align, and Big in Japan.

"What we do is really quite unique. We start with a very catchy or memorable melody (referred to as the "chorus" or "hook"). We preface this "chorus" with somewhat more subdued melodic passages we call "verses". Oftentimes a "pre chorus" will be inserted between the two, for added emphasis of the "chorus". A "bridge" frequently precedes the final "chorus" for increased impact. Accompanying word groupings we call "lyrics" tend to provide some personal revelation, and usually retain some semblance of a "theme" from start to finish. We think this formula could be the start of something great."

Hi The Tank guys, nice to meet you. Thanks a lot for the attention and very cool words! Never mind about the Portuguese, you are welcome anyway, OK? Feel free to download some EletriKa tunes for free in our profile and, please, keep in touch.

Thanks a lot for the add! EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out!

Hugs from Brazil,
