”Deadly Relics” is an album with a lot of great and funny memories from the early days of Denmark’s thrash metal kings Artillery. An absolute must-have for all fans of thrash metal. Including some really rare and never officially released demo songs from the band. The album is based on the two demos ”Shellschock” and ”Deeds Of Darkness” from 1984 recorded at Ole Erlings sound Studio, with a line up containing Carsten Lohman on vocals, J?rgen Sandau on guitar, Michael St?tzer on guitar, Morten St?tzer on bass and Carsten Nielsen on drums. It also contains two tracks of the first demo with Flemming R?nsdorf as a singer - “Fear Of Tomorrow” from 1985 – which gave the band the recording deal with Neat Records. Also included on ”Deadly Relics” is the 1989 single releases ”Khomaniac” and ”Don’t Believe”, with a line up containing Flemming R?nsdorf on vocals, Morten St?tzer on guitar, Michael St?tzer on guitar, Peter Thorslund on bass and Carsten Nielsen on drums. Both were written on a tour in Russia and recorded in Sweet Silence with Producer Flemming Rasmussen in 1989, allowing the band to secure a record deal with Roadrunner. ”Deadly Relics” shows a very young and very hungry Artillery! Enjoy!” – Michael St?tzer. ”Deadly Relics” was originally released in 1998 on Mighty Music as the second release ever on the label. But now, 21 years later, the album will be re-released in a brand new version in a beautiful package with all new artwork by Roberto Toderico, liner notes, rare photos, an exclusive interview with founding member Michael St?tzer & all new mastering from the Medley Studios. ”Deadly Relics” will be released as a limited 500 copies grey/blue splatter vinyl and on CD with a 16-page booklet with rare and never seen before photos.
