english version
Formed in 2003, we started by creating a tense and gloomy music, built around melodies imbued of Scandinavian mysteries. A demo was completed in 2004, issuing to the world the evil designs of the glacial combo.
After several gigs in support of Noise, Metal, Hardcore and various Heavy bands, the gang took off for Ireland at the end of 2005, to confront his previously acquired skills on the Anglo-Saxon stages. After a hibernation of nearly 104 weeks, Watertank gives a difficult birth to 6 new tracks that never been released, but helped to shape a new line up and fresh "right in the nuts" compositions.
Since 2007 we have traveled ways leading gradually to a more "pop" feeling, while accentuating a heavier sound.
Fairy Crimes is now out on Butterwitch.com, and we played the Hellfest in the company of awful violent bands.
2010 : New line-up moves, El Borbah left us to stay focused on his band KUBOTA,
This involved several changes, Julio (drums) is taking guitar now and we recruited Jocelyn as a human metronome !
Since its inception in 2003, Watertank had the opportunity to perform on stage with : TORCHE, KYLESA, THE OCEAN, CAPRICORNS, LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR and many more…

Form� en 2003, nous avons commenc� en cr�ant une musique tendue et sombre, construite autour de m�lodies impr�gn�es des myst�res scandinaves. Une demo � �t� r�alis�e en 2004 avec Tomason et El Borbah d�livrant ainsi � la face du monde les noirs desseins du glacial combo. Apr�s divers concerts en support de groupes Noise, Metal, Hardcore, Heavy de divers acabits, le gang s'envole pour l'Irlande � la fin de l'ann�e 2005, afin de confronter ses comp�tences pr�c�demment acquises sur les sc�nes anglo-saxonnes. Apr�s une hibernation de pr�s de 104 semaines, Watertank accouche difficilement de 6 nouveaux titres qui, � d�faut de sortie publique, viendront alimenter un line up remani� et des compositions plus frontales. Depuis 2007 nous avons emprunt� des chemins menant progressivement � une lecture plus "pop" tout en accentuant une signature "heavy" toute en dynamique, de type "headbanging".
L'ann�e 2009 et marqu�e par la sortie de Fairy Crimes, sur le label Butterwitch.com ainsi que la participation au Hellfest en compagnie d'affreux groupuscules d'ob�dience violente.
2010 : nouveaux changements de line-up, El Borbah nous quitte pour se consacrer � son groupe KUBOTA, Julio (batterie) occupe d�sormais le poste de guitariste, et Jocelyn nous rejoint dans l'aventure en tant que batteur.
Depuis ses d�buts en 2003, Watertank a eu l'opportunit� de se produire sur sc�ne en compagnie de : TORCHE (us - heavy rock) KYLESA (us - metal) THE OCEAN (all - metal) CAPRICORNS (uk - heavy rock) LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR (us - metal) OVERSMURF (scream-rock) EVERY REASON TO (post-hxc) ARGUMENT (math-rock) BOOTER (noise) BEECHER (uk - metalcore) CASPER (emo) REVOLUTION OF A SUN (irl - crust) KUBOTA (stoner) DEIN KAMPF (irl - fastcore) ELYSIUM (grindcore) TROUBLE EVERYDAY (oldschool) 8CONTROL (metalcore)…
