Penalty by Perception is one of Artillery’s most explosive modern‑era releases — a razor‑sharp fusion of technical thrash, melodic hooks, and the band’s unmistakable Danish precision. The album showcases Artillery at full power, delivering complex riffing, soaring leads, and tight rhythmic aggression across a sprawling 12‑track assault.
 
Pressed on Red Vinyl across two LPs, this edition gives the album the space it deserves, allowing every riff, every solo, and every rhythmic shift to breathe with clarity and punch. From the commanding opener “In Defiance of Conformity” to the atmospheric “When the Magic Is Gone,” the relentless “Deity Machine,” and the crushing finale “Liberty of Defeat,” the album stands as one of the band’s strongest modern statements.
 
A premium, high‑impact pressing of a modern thrash essential.
