They just keep firing away long after the original thrash wars faded into memory and many a speed détente was put in place. Longevity aside, it seems they’re taking their run at metal immortality quite seriously. 2013s Legions was a solid dose of Danish steel with a more melodic bent courtesy of new voice Michael Bastholm Dahl. For those waiting around for Fear of Tomorrow II, it might not have been exactly what they wanted, but those creeps will be perpetually disappointed by anything the band releases outside of 1985. Luckily they’re a dying breed, and the band shouldn’t be penalized by such unrealistic perceptions. With that said, Penalty by Perception essentially picks up right where Legions left off, fusing the classic Artillery sound with something akin to Steve Grimmett era Onslaught or perhaps the heavier side of Heathen. This is a bit heavier than Legions, but still highly melodic. Whether that’s a good thing depends how much melody you like in your thrash stew, but there’s no denying these cagey ves know how to craft quality speed.
