Don't Walk Away, the first salvo from NWOBHM legends Tank, is one of the greatest, most important EPs in metal history. With these three tracks, Tank laid the treads for a grittier interpretation of NWOBHM influenced heavily by Motörhead. This combination of heavy riffin' blues based rock and proto-speed metal was a potent molotov cocktail lobbed onto a scene primed to explode into speed-and-thrash metal in just a few years time. Often seen to stand in Motörhead's shadow, mainly due to their power trio format and the fact that this EP and their first full-length are their most well-known (and Motörhead-ish), Tank actually went on to cultivate a unique sound on their further full-lengths. This EP however is the perfect adrenaline spark and introduction to this great band.
