Danish thrash metal band Artillery issued ninth full-length studio album The Face Of Fear<\/em> on November 16th, 2018 through Metal Blade Records.<\/p>\n

The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.<\/p>\n

The Face Of Fear<\/em> was recorded during July and August 2018 at Medley Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark with producer S\u00f8ren Andersen.<\/p>\n

S\u00f8ren Andersen commented: \u201cPure and raw! Some of the material of this album was originally written in the early 80s, 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\u2019m really proud of the final result and I hope everyone will enjoy it as much as I do!\u201d<\/p>\n

A limited first edition of the album included two re-recorded bonus tracks; \u2018Mind Of No Return\u2019, which originally appeared on the band\u2019s 1982 demo cassette We Are the Dead<\/em>, and \u2018Doctor Evil\u2019, a cut from Artillery\u2019s November 2013 outing Legions<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Album cover artwork was created by Martin Helgren.<\/p>\n
