Artillery By Inheritance (Purple)

Limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on purple coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. By Inheritance is the third studio album by Danish thrash metal band Artillery and was released in 1990. By Inheritance frequently sounds like their finest hour, as much for boasting some of the most distinctive and imaginative songs of their career as for incorporating textural variety at a time when many of the Danish quintet's contemporaries were wallowing in stagnation. Influenced by heavy metal tastemakers Metallica and Iron Maiden (in particular, their Egypt-themed Powerslave album) when recording By Inheritance, Artillery injected Eastern-flavored melodies into typically technical and muscular thrash offerings like "Khomaniac" and the title track.
