Artillery
Artillery were one of the top technical thrash bands of the
eighties, characterized by intense, energetic riffing and the
somewhat unique vocals of Flemming Ronsdorf.
The band had achieved worldwide acclaim even before their first
album, thanks to some well-distributed demos (since repackaged
and re-released as
Deadly Relics ).
The first album,
Fear Tomorrow , was a slight letdown from those
demos due to a substandard production, but the songs were on track.
Terror Squad fared better, and is probably their
best album overall.
The band disbanded in 1991, shortly after the release of the
By Inheritance album.
They reunited in 1999, and released a comeback album,
B.A.C.K. , in 2001, with the unique vocals of Ronsdorf and
thrash riffing that were trademarks of the band in their prime
still intact.
Since then they've been relatively quite but have now stated that
recording for a new album will commence in March 2009.
