Back in the 80's they were one of the biggest European thrash sensations on the scene characterized by intense, energetic riffing and unique vocals, somewhat reminiscent of Slayer and Megadeth from the same era. The band was formed in 1982 in the suburbs of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The band won a worldwide acclaim even before their first album, thanks to some well-distributed demos (repackaged and re-released later as Deadly Relics). Their debut album "Fear of Tomorrow" and the follow-up "Terror Squad" have gained a legendary status, becoming some of the most thrilling thrash releases of the late 80's period. They wrote killer riffs and their guitar tones on the debut were heavily distorted much like their German thrash counterparts.
Their first album for Roadrunner, "By Inheritance", repeated the impressive success of the previous LPs. Flemming Rasmussen finally crafted a more than competitive sound for the band which was often compared with Metallica's "Master Of Puppets". The Bay Area touch is still there in terms of the riffing. The two guitarists Michael and Morten Stützer burn true fireworks of good guitar riffs. Absolutely insane songs like "Khomaniac", "Don't Believe" or the godly instrumental "7:00 From Tashkent" are the highlights of this release. Unfortunately, after that Artillery was put on hold for almost 9 years, to ultimately return in 1999 with another amazing release, "B.A.C.K.".
Today, the band is back in action with a new album scheduled for 2009.

DEATH TO FRANK ZIYANAK - Yo Mama Huh
Brandishing a particularly savage brand of twisted Death Metal as their weapon of choice, Denmark's EXMORTEM blend musical precision with lyrical depravity of the lowest order. After honing their sound over the last decade with releases on Earache Records, Osmose Productions and Hammerheart Records, EXMORTEM are now prepared to take the international scene by storm with their sixth album - a world-class Death Metal attack to be released on Mighty Music in 2008.
EXMORTEM was founded in 1992, and released their debut album "Labyrinths Of Horror" in 1995 on Euphonious Records. In 1997 they released "Dejected In Obscurity" on Euphonious.
After these initial stages EXMORTEM brought two new members into the fold - vocalist Simon and drummer Reno. At the end of 2000, the band entered the studio to record the "Berzerker Legions" album, which was released in 2001 on Hammerheart Records. After this release EXMORTEM earned attention from the international metal scene, and after having played shows across Europe the band started to work on the next album. This led to a new label, Osmose, which released the fourth album "Pestilence Empire" in 2002. Since then the band have toured Europe with Necrophagia and have issued two exclusive vinyl releases: "Killstorms" (ADP) and "Pest Campaign" (Osmose). The 2004 re-release of "Berzerker Legions" on Unique Leader in the US was EXMORTEM first release to be widely available in the US.
EXMORTEM signed to Earache's Wicked World imprint to release "Nihilistic Contentment", produced by Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Rob Halford) in 2005. This album was supported by a tour with Behemoth in the UK.
After 15 years of playing Death Metal, EXMORTEM is ready to release their sixth album ”Funeral Phantoms”, produced by Jacob Bredahl (Koldborn, Hatesphere).

"Pressurizes intake, creating a bigger explosion and greater power”.
SUPERCHARGER plays rock’n’roll with set off in kidney failures, dusty redneck attitudes and musically interpretations of the lives they live. With instruments on the edge of break down, SUPERCHARGER is well-known for their charming attitudes and one serious party, which leaves no audience standing still - from the stage to the bar.
The band is keeping the old virtues of rock’n’roll in a tight grip and providing the collective sound with country, blues and elements of heavy metal. 2007 offered some busy months of recording an EP, touring England for 2 weeks, playing many Danish one-offs and events, as well as - and not to forget - the band was announced as ‘Demo of The Month’ in the biggest Danish commercial music magazine ‘Gaffa’. This honour resulted in 4 concerts in January, all very well visited by new and old fans.
SUPERCHARGER is now more than ready to make 2008 an even busier year, with more concerts, new material, getting closer their goals with rock and roll music.

THORIUM formed in late 1997 with a mission to play old school death metal. With members involved in other bands (Withering Surface, Iniquity, Taetre and Infernal Torment), THORIUM had the experience it took to work fast and efficiently. It did not take more than a year to play the first gigs (e.g. opening slot for the reformed Artillery), record a 2 track demo and get a record deal with Diehard Music.
In the summer of 1999 THORIUM entered Grieghallen Studio in Bergen, Norway with Pytten and Herbrand Larsen (Audrey Horne). Jacob Hansen (Mercenary, Volbeat, Raunchy, Invocator) took care of the mix. The result was "Oceans of Blasphemy"! An album released in early 2000 with overwhelming attention from the world wide metal press. THORIUM was e.g. placed in the "Best Newcomers of 2000" section in Germany’s Rock Hard.
Following the success of "Oceans of Blasphemy", THORIUM played concerts in Denmark and was on the bill for the Nuclear Storm Festival in the Czech Republic.
Three years later the band entered the Exponent Studio in Slovakia in January 2003 with Tomas Kmet and Roman Slavik. Mastering was handled by Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Sick of it All, Mnemic). Out came "Unleashing the Demons". Again an album that received positive attention world wide. The summer of 2003 THORIUM performed at the Party-San Festival in Germany and at the Brutal Assault Festival in the Czech Republic.
Since then THORIUM have abandoned the sinking ship Diehard Music and the members pursued other personal projects.
it took a while for the THORIUM machinery to re-activate, and in late 2005 the band recorded some promo material in the Berno Studio in Malmo, Sweden with Berno Paulsson (The Haunted, Amon Amarth). These recordings are available on the "Cast From Hell" 7" EP released through Mighty Music sublabel Prutten Records.
THORIUM released their third album "Feral Creation" on Mighty Music in 2008. The album was recorded at Berno Studios (Amon Amarth, The Haunted), mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Raunchy, Mercenary) while Dan Seagrave provided the artwork for “Feral Creation”.
