Tell No Tales is the third studio album by the Norwegian rock band TNT. It was the best-selling TNT album in the U.S., according to their bass guitarist Morty Black. This album diverted from the power metal style of Knights of the New Thunder into a more glam metal direction. Rock Candy Records reissused a remastered CD of the album in February 2022.
