AFM reports that

On January, 12, AFM Records will bring some older Tankard stuff back to the stores. We will re-release remastered versions of the two Tankard albums “Disco Destroyer” and “Kings Of Beer”.

Every album will contain one additional bonus track. Therefore, the band has chosen 2 coverversions of very well known metal acts. The Manowar Track “Fast Taker” will be the bonus track on “Disco Destroyer” and the Bonustrack on the “Kings Of Beer” album will be the Metallica banger “Damage Inc.”
