ARTILLERY - Legions 2-LP (Black Vinyl)

Gatefold 180 gram double BLACK LP incl. 2 bonus tracks.

Artillery is one of those classic groups that I ignored for the longest time because I'm a bad kid. I'll admit "Legions," Artillery’s seventh album, was the first of the band's works to ever grace my ears—as I said, bad kid. I can’t say I’d expected a record of this magnitude after so many years in the game and the general quality standard of many of thrash‘s middle-aged veterans, but our first date went well and I scheduled another, whether Artillery likes it or not. I find myself thoroughly impressed with "Legions" for the most part. From a newcomer's perspective, Artillery bobs on the cusp of power/thrash metal while juggling a ton of melody and charisma, almost giving the songs an upbeat, vigorous tint. At thirty-one years young, they have more chops and zest than most modern thrash bands I can think of, that's for sure.
