Artillery - The Face Of Fear

Artillery has a new album coming out!

First here's the new for the title track video:





November 16th will see Artillery release their new album, The Face Of Fear – which is the successor to 2016′s Penalty By Perception. The Face Of Fear is the band’s 9th studio album, and the third with the current line-up. For a preview of the record, a video for the title track can be viewed now at: www.metalblade.com/artillery – where The Face Of Fear can also be pre-ordered in the following formats:


–ltd. Digipak-CD with 2 exclusive bonus tracks

–blue green / white splattered vinyl (ltd. 100 – EMP-exclusive)
–blue/black marbled vinyl (ltd. 300 – US-exclusive)

The lyrics are Artillery as you know them, with subjects concerning the destruction of mankind, double standards, abuse and the looming worst-case scenarios. The Face Of Fear was recorded with long-time producer Soren Andersen at Medley Studios. It’s Soren’s fifth time at the helm, and once again he manages to deliver a monster production. Soren comments: “Pure and raw! Some of the material of this album was originally written in the early 80′s, and that inspired us to go old school this time. Not too many layers, just classic Artillery thrash metal…And Bastholm is better than ever on this one. This is a no-filler album, created together with the band. I’m really proud of the final result and I hope everyone will enjoy it as much as I do!”

Artillery comments about the video for “The Face Of Fear”: “Most of the scenes for the video were shot at Amager strand park right outside of Copenhagen. And the live scenes go back to when the band visited Japan and played at the Thrash Dominations together with Exodus, Voivod and Sanctuary. The video was shot by the band’s good friend Terkel Christensen, who also did the video ‘When The Magic is Gone’, from the last album, ‘Penalty By Perception‘. The song is about dealing the end of man by himself. We create our own phobia about the destruction of the world, but remain disrespectful to the globe.”

Awesome news ! I like that tune. I'll be picking this one up.

These guys have been killing it with the last few albums.

Awesome. An instant purchase for sure 🤘.

This year has been awesome. All of my favourite bands are releasing/have released new albums: judas priest, udo, riot v, grave digger and artillery, to name a few.

Looking forward to hearing it!

This will definitely deliver the goods!! Fab Thrash Metal band.

I've never really listened to this band before. I like the video! Where's a good place to start with them?

^^^ This one is their classic.

That's where to start and then try When Death Comes for the newer sound. This band has one original member but has put out quality every time.

When death comes is their best imo. Modern, mature, melodic and memorable. By inheritance is very hard to come across. Still looking for it.

Sounds good! The last two have been really good. I like about everything these guys have done since the beginning.

Nevermore, By Inheritance is their best but you can't go wrong with any album. Fear of Tomorrow and Terror Squad are classics but more of a raw sound.

By Inheritance is their best. The newer stuff is slightly different, but still great stuff.

Got a copy of By Inheritance today. Great album!!

Here's another new song - "Crossroads To Conspiracy"

That's a damn good tune. I like it !

Awesome. Sounds like a great album.

Wow!

Those are some of the best guitar riffs I've heard in years. Maybe best Artillery song since 1998.

They should have released this as the first single. It's SO MUCH better than the other tune.
