Danish power-thrash metallers Artillery are set to unleash their new album, Penalty By Perception, on March 25th worldwide via Metal Blade Records. In anticipation of this release, the band has now launched a video for the second single, “Live By The Scythe”! Watch the clip below, and pre-order the record in various formats here: metalblade.com/artillery.
Artillery comments: “It was great fun to record the video for ‘Live by the Scythe’ on Fyn in Denmark. The filming was done in an old castle – Hindsgavl castle – in the forest, and in a school near Hesselager.The story behind the video is about death, fate, the meaning and acceptance of life and death. The video was done by M&M Production who also did the video for ‘Legions’.”
Written over the course of the last two years, Artillery’s seventh full-length draws from their classic albums like Fear of Tomorrow (1985) and By Inheritance (1990), as well as When Death Comes (2009) and Legions (2013). Having recorded at Medley Studios and bringing Soren Andersen on board as the producer, Artillery achieved the sound that they were aiming for: “We worked really hard together to get this amazing sound. I feel the band have come up with some great songs,” asserts guitarist Michael Stutzer. “The best musical performance in the history of Artillery. Can’t wait to hear the fans’ reactions!”
A familiar, yet modern thrash attack, Penalty By Perception delivers the band’s signature riffing, with powerful drumming and melodic singing – and promises to be a new fan favorite in the Danish quintet’s storied career.
