Recorded 1986.

[@patrikjohansson4450]

Love it ... Artillery.. Scandinavia s finest Metal Thrash best bands... Long live Denmark \m/

[@shpadoinkle906]

Such an absolutely devastingtly heavy, crunchy guitar tone. And Flemming Ronsdorf's soaring vocals.. Incredible! A classic.

[@ShadovvV]

Wrong. The music is actually better than the sound. Any recording engineer will tell you that the guitar sound is almost completely out of phase. That's why it sounds kinda thin and tinny. However, the music on their "Terror Squad" release can't be matched. It's beyond doubt one of the top 3 best Thrash metal recordings in history.

[@dpounder101]

I can't even express how much i would love to see more live videos with Flemming, especially of By Inheritance.

[@LeMaitreDeBrumazar]

Flemming Rønsdorf !! Comeback please !!

[@Metalmaniac365]

Artillery is by far one of the best thrash bands in the world. This is the band that got me into metal 3 years ago. To this day, they are still one of my all-time favorites. Amazing, enough said.

[@ShadovvV]

Yep.. and I believe even bands such as Exodus were influenced by Artillery because you can hear it. "Terror Squad" was also released before Exodus started to sound like them. I would even go as far as saying that Gary Holt was ripping off some the of the Artillery riffs.

[@P1lum]

Парни хорошо потрудились, такой альбом сочинили! Классика.

[@Musikmusikmusik]

FLEMMING RONSDORF ! HE RULES THE BEST !!!

[@tobbson570]

Rest in peace Morten

[@nikthomas-le7915]

It's good to see that Morten was playing Ibanez Roadstar RS525s from the beginning 🤘🤘 RIP Morten 🤘🤘

[@zuhairreza]

Thrash metal in it's best form. Loved it. They rock!! \m/

[@juanortiz9123]

Awesome video and song!!

[@MapachewithSniper]

Great vocals, Killer riffs. The best song of Artillery.

[@ShadovvV]

Clearly dubbed, but their "Terror Squad" release is still one of the best Thrash metal recordings in history. I put it in the Top 3, beyond a doubt.

[@Metalmaniac365]

Artillery, my favorite thrash band

[@thula2]

That guitar sound has been haunting me for 20 years. awesome.

[@ShadovvV]

It's not the guitar sound, it's the music. The guitar sound is actually rather thin and tinny.

[@thula2]

@@ShadovvV Call it what you want, but that guitar sound Artillery had overshadowed everything else for me as a teenager. Love it.

[@ShadovvV]

@@thula2 - I totally get what you're saying. I think it sounds great as well and I still rate the "Terror Squad" release in the Top 3 Thrash metal recordings ever. However, by today's standards, it probably sounds harsh or thin to younger crowds.. and That's actually the problem with younger listeners, as well as musicians. Truth is, they need to understand the finer aspects and finesse that older groups like Artillery put into their playing. This modern generation simply doesn't get it. Everything sounds cookie-cutter and far too synchronized or machine like. That's why I think they're hosing up all metal, especially with that Djent and technical arpeggio garbage, when they need to focus more on the rhymical aspects, such as how Artillery did it. As a side note, personally, I think even bands like Exodus were influenced by Artillery because they started to sound a like them after 1986. Exodus only had one recording at that time and it was different than the rest. If you listen closely, you'll clearly hear an influence, which I'm sure Gary Holt will never admit because he seem to have a bit of an ego. A sure give away is, I've never heard Gary mention Artillery either, but you know he damn well knew about them.

[@debgibsonfan]

Holy shit!...never thought I would see footage of classic Artillery!!!

[@Chuloloc]

Fucking awesome. Classic geme. Hail Artillery.

[@lhzx]

everything of this albulm is just KILLER they have all Thrash should have

[@garyhines6767]

[@system2chaos]

i can clearly remember the very first consert i ever adented to. it was a ARTILLERY & DESTRUCTION a Concert in Copenhagen at age 13 i and it blow me away . the energy that the crowed had . i remember that a compleat stranger saying " hey kid wanna sit on my shoulders and se the show " you cant se mutch from down there can you? and from a strangers shoulders i watch the show and from that moment on i knew that trashers are social beings even thoug the seem like it and i felt safeA

[@GyntherMeyer]

I was at that gig as well! Circa 1986 or 87. I was around 20 at the time. Happy days.

[@futuretense84]

Wish there was more music like this nowdays

[@edjar10]

[@jordancummins3092]

I just listened to this band a couple weeks ago but I checked out this video yesterday. I have to say why haven't I found out about this band earlier? I love it.

[@chrisklingel4294]

good to see 80s thrashers still banging it out;)

[@davidqa3990]

Brutal, tremendos músicos y la voz de Ronsdorf es única

[@GyntherMeyer]

Very cool! Thanks for this upload (15 years ago) xD I saw Artillery in Copenhagen when they played with Destruction sometime in the mid 80s. I remember the lead singer started off speaking in English to the crowd but people where yelling "tal dansk, tal dansk!" - and so he did. LOL

[@WarriorOfMetal]

The best thrash band but... with this guy on vocals.

[@Metalmaniac365]

Terror squad

[@ClausWeiergang]

BAreclusiarch : Flemming was not a drunk, and never was. He didnt even smoke any stuff, and he still dont. He is now a happy Trobadur playing nice songs on his acoustic, in small bars around Denmark .... But if you want more of Flemming, try look up the Danish Beatle cover Rubber Band ...he was a singer there too, way better than Poul and John hehe

[@ClausWeiergang]

I made that video ! Well not really. I was the host of the show, and I invited the band, since we are friends. My producer/editor Rasmus Skovgaard made that video, I was just helping out on the set, and holding the camera in the foot stomping clip he he. . I think it's Metalfabrikken's first self produced video ...Turned out really great ! Anyway, check out my channel for more Danish shit !

[@Slaaweck1]

See you Guys in awesome show (Poland, Wroclaw 08.10.2011)

[@JohnReleased]

@guitarshredking the guitar is ibanez and you may recognize the shape of the guitar that is explorer.

[@killyoupl]

Coroner for example.

[@Troubadurix]

I'm right here :) and no, no bands these days, check my page, more explanation there ;) But thx you guys, this old geezer really appreciate your kind words :)

[@mechfly8960]

the voice of metal

[@heavymetalmaniac1973]

This the braincrashing thrash metal of mid 80s we:bangers in 30s all grew up with....

[@HanTheMan666]

It's from the album 'Terror Squad'... \m/

[@AitorMaiden]

see you in martohell! ;)

[@MatthewCVR]

Nice

[@FishlipsMalone]

THE perfect way how THE JOLLY ROGER would sing

[@ThrashMetalRiffs]

Check out 'Artillery Top 10 Riffs' on my channel or just search. Awesome band!

[@InfiniteObscurity]

it's a tv performance, no audience except for the cameras.

[@heavyduty666]

Nice Danish from 1986.. Anybody who wants to buy original lp...?

[@FelipeAdrenalinA]

Me, I want it

[@23popod2]

when you can find music in tv

[@Strahli]

[@EvilViolator124]

@MetalWarrior95 That is what I was thinking as well. Looks like James Hetfield around time of Kill 'em All.

[@cacasheetpipi]

Its weird/cool how he holds tge guitar pick

[@ariftoprak]

\m/ fucking awesome \m/

[@Troubadurix]

Thanks... I guess ;)

[@hiramspm]

whats the name of the album again?

[@BasilFawlty3]

Jørgen Sandau and Morten Stützer have the same outfits in this video. Can it be an "Artillery image" or just a coincidence?

[@jonasnuclear]

som quebrado rápido com vocal esganiçado muito poucos fazem algo igual !! fudido pra caralho!!

[@leocremon]

jonas antonio banda foda pqp.

[@ronaldothomejunior3702]

Concordo. Na minha opinião deveria estar no Big 4 com o Sepultura (anos 90) e o Testament.

[@ryanlivia708]

O cara ainda quebra um vocal gutural da porraaaaa.

[@guitarshredking]

looks like the guitarist on the right is using a dimebag darrel signature guitar

[@ugniusstackunas8915]

PLAUK^,-'PLAKIS^,-"!!!

[@BAreclusiarch]

it's not the band's fault, flemming was pulling artillery backwards, had no interest on keep singing with 'em and I can't remember if he was having problems with alcohol... So yeah, flemming was amazing, but artillery can't stop existing because of him going out. And the new albums, although being sang by a lesser vocalist, are pretty awesome!

[@Troubadurix]

Alcohol ? I've heard many rumours about me over the years, stealing money and whatnot, but just FYI none of these stories are true ! None of them...

[@JoshButterballs]

ac/dc vocal style very good

[@MsBloodbane]

Who's the singer???

[@cartoondog800]

@ 3:47 March of the hightops!!!! lol

[@user-py4sb8wf8p]

Никакого не похожий супер звук

[@EugeneBakman]

Which album is this song from? I'm just getting into this band and don't know shit about them. P.S. I fucking loved their new album!!!

[@mozartsthrash]

@system2chaos THIS IS SO HEART TOUCHING LOL

[@MsBloodbane]

And who's the actual singer?????
