One of the most ferocious, criminally overlooked thrash metal cd's ever released, Artillery's "Terror Squad" is an undisputed classic thrash metal disc. Insanely heavy and brutally conceived, the disc suffered from under exposure during its' original release because of their original label's, Neat Records, lack of advertisemnet and its poor distribution. Nonetheless, thrash enthusiasts rejoice world wide! Artillery's rerelease is upon us, so there's no reason NOt to aquire this essential piece of thrash history! Stand out songs are "The Challenge", insane thrash at its finest! "Terror Squad", massive, pounding metal; and the best song on the disc, "At War With Science", A tremendous, all out thrash classsic that NEEDS to be had!

One of my fave thrash bands of the 80's!! Artillery sounds much better w/this remaster. Metalmind said this would be a gold 24 bit disc-it is not, but it is remastered and sounds killer. Only complaint was that the original cd from yrs ago had a few fuzzy moments where the sound gets lower for a second or 2, happens on 1 song, that was not corrected. Probably not remasterd from original d.a.t. tape. Demo songs are on here as well. This is so crushing sounding and Terror Squad even w/one of the worst album covers of all time, remains one of the best thrash albums ever!!

This is a great CD from the thrash/speed metal kings Artillery. To all people who are looking to purchase this CD, I must tell you that Caiman does not have this in stock. I ordered it from them one month ago and still haven't received it. When I contacted them, they said it was on backorder and then the very next day, they relisted it. So, if you really want this CD, I wouldn't order it from them because you will never get it. Just a warning so as not to waste your time...

This album is killer. BUY IT! Insanely heavy guitar and riffing. Classic thrash from early 1990s. Highly recommended.

Artillery is a great unknown trash-metal band from Denmark. The music is extremely heavy and fast, very similar to Slayer but in my opinion better rhythms. The lead gutairist runs scales so fast it is hard to stay up with him, and the drumming is non-stop in your face pounding. The lyrics and singing is not the best, mostly high-pitched screams but the hard guitar rhythms make up 80% of the songs on this album. This is not the greatest metal album, but if your into fast speed metal you will enjoy it.
