Artillery

By Logo Jensen

What is a thrash-mag. without a single artikel or interview with the danish gods of thrash Artillery? I can tell you, it's not a thrash-mag (and this is actually a thrash-mag.) So I went down to there rehearsal-room, and this what came out of it.

**When did you start?**  
-We started here, let me see, 7 pm. (Ha, ha) No we started playing in '82, I think. When Jorgen, and Carsten ran in to each other, then we (Michael, and Morten) came in right after.  
-Then we have got 3 singers, the first one Per got out real quik.  
-He couldnt sing.  
-Then we got hold of Carsten, but he would rather be a teacher (sadist-ed). After him we got Fleming and we have not been able to kick him out yet.

**Who came up with the name Artillery?**  
-I DID! (Jorgen shouted) It was Jorgen who got the name.

**How was the response, when you started?**  
-We started getting kicked out of our rehearsal-room.  
-Well the first time we played a gig, people said that we sounded like a faster Motörhead, and we never liked Motörhead, so that was'nt so great.

**What are you listening to yourself?**  
-I (Michael) are listening to lots of things, most thrash like Metallica, Exodus, Testament, but also I like old Purple, and things like that.  
-Carsten only hear punk.  
-Yearh, Crossover, and some metal. Thrash.

**It seems that your inspired by Europe, and Fate?**  
-Yearh, they are great.   
-But we has'nt been able to find out what kind of make-up they are using, it will come, dont fear. (Ha ha.) No, man they got no balls.

**What has happend after the demo from '87?**  
-We made a new record.  
-So we have continued, let me see, we have been playing some gigs in NL, and we has played a gig with King Diamond.  
-Then we have been writing the numbers, and things like that. It was the meaning that we should do an Lp but it got delayed all the time.

**Where do you play thrash?**  
-That's what we used for.  
-Fast, and agressive, its just playing thrash for.

-Well in the start, it was just that it should be as fast as possible. But that was'nt so difficult, it should be a challange to write on it.

**And now you are trying to be fast, and stil keep a rythm in it.**  
**-Trying!!?!?**  
-We are playing fast, insted of fighting, getting out the agressive.

**Have you learnt something from Fear...?**  
-Yearh, we learn all the time, from the mistakes we made on the Lp. We learned from Terror...  
-What we have learned we can use on the next Lp, keep progressing.

-The mad-"Axe-man"-Michael

# BRAIN DAMAGE

![Figure of a person on a throne](image-url)

Aaarrrgh!, slam, boom, gong!! This is great. Crionic is going to break your fucking head with fantastic thrash. Aaararrgh, it's the only way I can express my feelings about this Danish thrash-band. I will review their demo, but first some facts. Crionic was formed back in '85, by Kesse, Tom, and Klas. Then there were some problems with finding the real line-up, but at last they found their drummer Bjarne (ex-Warchain), who seemed to fit their style just perfect. The line-up was started with:

Tom            guitar/vocals  
Kesse          guitar  
Bjarne         drums  
Klas           bass  

Then it was time to record a demo '86, after three months intensive demo, the 16-track "Fanny lyd-studio", and recorded their never ending appreciation the demo "The land wich once were", and this really kicked ass. The inspiration comes from bands like Metallica, Exdus, Destruction, and I seem to hear some slayer-riffs. Well let's get down to the demo witch includes 4 very tight, and agressive songs. The demo starts out with a very tight, and unique song, "Dawn" has begun. This is absolutly thrash with class, and when they got started they never stop, then we hear the second number "The..." a nine minutes long song, witch blows your brain out. The two guitars are working fine together, and also the drummer Bjarne just some hard shit.  After the two tapes, a killer "Sneaking disease" explodes in an inferno of violent tunes, this must be the best track. The last track is "Uptrescent deceit", and do I have to say how great this is, I just love thoughs guitars' sound. hey! tis it all -ready finished !?!?  
I can only say one thing about this demo, and that is, I know it's hard with the first demo, but these guys deserve a major-deal, and this right now. Well if you don't got their demo(I know you haven't) then get your fingers out of your ass, and write to them. Well what are you waiting for, WRITE !!!. The price is DK.40.DM.0,or US.5,- and that is cheep.

# HELFIELD

Since they started, Helfield has released 2 demos, The key to freedom, and Irony of destiny, and in edition to the second Septic Desecrator went down to their rehearsal-room to get a little interview. This you can read all about right now. 

Is it the original line-up, and have you always been called Helfield?

-No, we proberly has called ourself the first 15 names.

No, only 5, and this is not so many. But going ahead what is your line-up now, and when was it made?

-How do you play?

-My name is Kim, and I'm the drummer.

My name is Kim, and I play the guitar.

I'm Allan, on bass, and Christian sings.

-Yeah, and Kim is a real hore.

Hey, just because I say what you others are thinking. You're not stancs, or something?

-No, not at all.

Well Christian is, but it has no influence on the music. What do your lyrics deal with?

-When I'm writing, by the words it is Kim. It's about people running things and the real life. But I'm inspired by gaming in horror, not very much in that way, but seriously. So I think it's very serious.

Well, we don't write about big cars, chics, and war, and stuff like that.

If we write about war, it is serious.

Well, okay.

We just made this song called Infection, it is about wars, it's a bit sarkastic, but it is serious.

What is your influences?

Thats stuff, all between Heaven, and Earth, Quadean, and Christian, we do not see, but these 2 are more Judas-rock.

Where.

Thanx.

Yeah thanxx, that was nice really nice (Ha, ha) 

The music we play, are inspirit of U.S. thrash Sicotho-thrash, we would like that to keep a Trying.

How many gigs have you

**DEMO - Hølfeld '87**

**Irony** **Of** **Destiny**

Hølfeld Danish power-thrash band, got their second demo out, featuring 4 tracks. The sound, and production is much better than their first "Key to Freedom". Also the music has got a lift up in the right direction. I wouldn't call them a fast thrash-band, but a mix between technic thrash, and heavy metal (more speed I would say-ed). The tracks are Irony of…Friend or foe, Infection (about AIDS), Sound of violence. The musicians are all good, specially I like Kim (guitar), who plays very fast, and sometimes it seem that he just can't stop. Maybe you shall listen a few times to the singer Christian, who got a good, but special voice. This demo is very good, and you better have it, so if you don't got it I will give you the adress where you can get this great tape. Later. The music is a little bit comerchal, but all in all it's great, so I will just say, buy or die.

Helfield DEMO '87

# MOURNER

It seems like Denmark comes up with new Hardcore/Thrash bands every day. Not all are shit, like this... Nah. Just kidding, Mourner is a new hope from the dark-Denmark, Jylland. They always called themselves Mourner, and the line-up is also the same, as it was in the start. I talked to their singer Steen, and got this little interview. By the way the line-up is:

- Steen - vocals
- Andreas - bass
- Dimse - drums
- Palle - guitar

Well why don't we just jump into it.

When did you start?
- We started playing about 2 years ago. But then we had a lot of problems, with a broken finger, and things like that, which kept us away from rehearsing.

Who started the band?
- It was Palle, Andreas, and me who started the band, then we got hold of Dimse a few months later.

What do your lyrics deal with?
- Shit that's tuff, I think, well things like pictures, most of it.

No, we don't deal with shit like that, I don't think we even have a single word about him in our lyrics.

How many times have you played live?
- Only 2 times. We would have played 2 other times but it got delayed all the time.

What's your inspirations?
- Tuff one again. We are influenced by a lot of things. It goes from Slayer, to Malmsteen.

How much do you rehearse?
- 2 times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.

What is your main aim?
- Well, if we look at it short, then we would very much go for a studio, in the near future, and record a proper demo. Then cause we would like a first demo which that is very difficult with the first demo, you know. Then we would also like to come out and play live, and not just in Denmark.

Any last words/something to add.
- Well I don't know, Andreas, and myself are playing in DesExult now, and we don't have any plans leaving one of the bands that must be the new thing. Then, off cause good buy out your mags, and buy our demo when it is released. Yeah, the last time we got a rehearsal spec you can get for only 20 Dkr. That's cheap. Yeah, that is cheap, so then you write to this right now on this address:
