Artillery, Denmark’s legendary technical‑thrash pioneers, return with a powerful 2026 reissue of their acclaimed 9th studio album, The Face of Fear. Originally released in 2018, this record marked a fierce “back‑to‑roots” moment for the band — fast, sharp, and uncompromising.
 
Recorded with long‑time producer Søren Andersen at Medley Studios, the album blends rapid‑fire riffing with the soaring melodic vocals of Michael Bastholm Dahl, capturing the band’s signature fusion of precision and power. It also stands as the final studio album to feature founding guitarist Morten Stützer, making this reissue an essential chapter in Artillery’s legacy.
 
Pressed on clear vinyl, this 2026 edition gives collectors a premium, modern presentation of one of the band’s strongest late‑career releases.
