Artillery is a Danish Thrash Metal Band that was active during the 1980s and participated in the early development of the genre. Their highly energetic, Riff -centric and often fast-paced music is similar in style to that of Slayer and Metallica from the same era. HISTORY The band formed in 1982 in Taastrup , a suburb to Copenhagen . The members were Guitarist s Jørgen Sandau and Michael Stützer, Bassist Morten Stützer, Drummer Carsten Nielsen and Singer Carsten Lohmann. The group recorded the demos ''Shellshock'' and ''Deeds of Darkness'' in 1984 . Carsten Lohmann left in 1985 and was replaced by Flemming Rönzdorf. Later the same year, Artillery recorded a third demo, ''Fear of Tomorrow'', signed with Neat Records , and released their first album, also titled ''Fear of Tomorrow''. Their second album, ''Terror Squad'', was released in 1987 . Guitarist Jørgen Sandau left the band in 1989 . Bassist Morten Stützer took over his position, lending the bass to recruit Peter Thorslund. Their third album, ''By Inheritance'', was released in 1990 on both LP and CD , by Roadrunner Records . Artillery disbanded in 1991 , some of the members pursuing musical projects of their own during the rest of the 1990s . Following the 1998 release of an Artillery compilation CD, ''Deadly Relics'' by Mighty Music , featuring a mix of old demo recordings and two songs from a 1989 promotional tape, the band had a reunion to record a fourth album, ''B.A.C.K'', which was released in 1999 by Diehard Music .
