Get ready for a thrilling comeback! Danish thrash metal icons, ARTILLERY, are back with a bang, and they're bringing their signature sound to Mighty Music this spring.
ARTILLERY, the legendary band that dominated the European thrash scene in the '80s, is set to release a brand-new mini-album, and it's a must-hear for all metalheads. With their intense riffs and unique vocal style, they've left an indelible mark on the genre, and this new release promises to reignite the flame.
But here's where it gets controversial... ARTILLERY has undergone some lineup changes, and the addition of IRON FIRE vocalist Martin Steene has sparked curiosity among fans. In a recent interview, guitarist and bandleader Michael Stützer praised Steene's versatility, hinting at a new direction for the band. "He can sing in various styles, and fans will love what we're doing," Stützer teased.
And this is the part most people miss... ARTILLERY's journey hasn't been without its challenges. The departure of previous singer Michael Bastholm Dahl and the tragic loss of longtime drummer Josua Madsen have shaped the band's evolution. Yet, through it all, ARTILLERY has persevered, and their resilience is a testament to their enduring spirit.
The upcoming EP, mixed at the renowned Medley Studio in Copenhagen, is a testament to ARTILLERY's ability to adapt and innovate. With six studio albums under their belt since their full-force return in 2008, including the critically acclaimed "X," ARTILLERY continues to push the boundaries of thrash metal.
So, what do you think? Will ARTILLERY's new direction win over fans? Or is it a departure too far? Share your thoughts in the comments and let's discuss the future of this iconic band!
