Tankist is an Estonian thrash metal band formed in 2013. They sculpt their style around the old school thrash metal core while allowing themselves more than a few excursions from the beaten path. Having started out as a straightforward raw energy unit in their early years, they already became a different entity on their debut LP “Unhuman”, aiming for a more progressive technical approach. With the follow-up, due to be released in May 2021, Tankist is planning to conquer the most dark and bleak corners of the thrash realm. Already known for their chaotic live performances, Tankist keeps pushing further for the verge of insanity. /// The avanthrash assault unit is lead by Kevin Marks (guitars, vocals), Martin Väinmaa (guitars), Margus Traumann (bass) and Simo Atso (drums).
