Artillery is along with Mercyful Fate the most important Danish metal band. Throughout the '80s the thrashers released three classic thrash/speed metal albums on Neat and Roadrunner Records with total sales of almost 100,000 copies. What started it all was three demo tapes, "Shellshock," "Deeds Of Darkness" and "Fear Of Tomorrow." These three cult tapes from'84/'85 are now, together with the band's best recording ever, the promo tape from '89, collected on the CD "Deadly Relics." "Deadly Relics" contains more than 70 minutes of brilliant old-school thrash, with a complete Artillery discography, lots of band photos (e.g. with Destruction and Metallica), playlists, reviews, etc. More info: Mighty Music/Emanzipation, Vermlandsgaade 74, 1tv DK-2300 Kbh S. e-mail: andersen@mnw.dk
