Biography
The band formed in 1982 in Taastrup, a suburb to Copenhagen. The members were guitarists Jřrgen 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 Jřrgen 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.
