A music video was filmed for the title track. In addition, an animated music video was released for the track \u2018Don\u2019t Bullshit Us!\u2019. Produced by Aaron McLoughlin and Simon Norton at The Royal Melbourne Institute Of Technology in Australia, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Aaron McLoughlin commented: \u201cThe video took an estimated 3000 hours to complete. Much of this time is spent at the concept, pre-visualisation and planning stages. Everything is digitally hand-drawn frame-by-frame on Wacom Cintiq tablets in RMIT University\u2019s state-of-the-art animation studio. This is where old and new school meet. We decided to go with a scribbly look for this video, as we felt it suited the energy of the track with Gerre\u2019s superb vocal stylings. It also meant the animation team could work quicker to produce an original looking video with everything on the screen always moving like crazy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough it\u2019s a funny video, we also wanted the intensity of the song\u2019s serious message to cut through. I\u2019m massively proud of the job the students did on this video. I think it\u2019s evidence that studying animation at RMIT University in Australia is the most fun thing anybody can choose to do. I\u2019d pick Tankard over Mickey Mouse any day!\u201d<\/p>\n

Tankard frontman Gerre added: \u201cEven though our latest record One Foot In The Grave<\/em> was released quite a while ago, we are really happy to present you with another official video in connection to that album. Aaron McLoughlin once again did a great job, the cartoon-like clip matches the humour of Tankard perfectly, even though my belly \u2013 as presented in the video \u2013 is not that chubby anymore… hahahaha! So, Don\u2019t Bullshit Us anymore and keep on thrashing!\u201d<\/p>\n

And as well, official lyric videos were created for the songs \u2018Arena Of The True Lies\u2019, \u2018Syrian Nightmare\u2019 and \u2018Pay To Pray\u2019. All four clips can also be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Sixteenth studio record R.I.B. (Rest In Beer)<\/em> was released in January 2014 via Nuclear Blast.<\/p>\n
