Danish thrash metal veterans ARTILLERY have inked a new deal with Mighty Music. The band is planning on releasing a new mini-album through the label in the spring. The EP was mixed last October at Medley Studio in Copenhagen, Denmark with Benjamin Høyer.
 
"It is with great pleasure that Artillery is now ready to present new music, namely the mini album Made in Hell, which will be released on the Danish label Mighty Music. The release contains two brand new tracks. Made in Hell and Ghost in the Machine, a newly recorded version of Into the Universe from the album Fear of Tomorrow (1985), as well as a live version of The Almighty, recorded during the Metalized tour in 2024 Roskilde.
 
With a new singer, Martin Steene, and a new guitarist, René Loua, we – Peter Thorslund, Frederik Kjelstrup Hansen, and yours truly, Michael Stutzer are looking forward to hearing the reactions to the new tracks. With plenty of new festivals and tours and a new release on the way, the future really looks promising. We will see you out there, thrashing several continents in 2026. Thanks"

Since returning in full force in 2008, ARTILLERY has released six studio albums, including the band's latest effort, 2021's "X". A live album, "Raw Live (In Copenhell)", was recorded in 2022 and made available in February 2024 via Mighty Music.

ARTILLERY's current lineup consists of guitarist and bandleader Michael Stützer alongside IRON FIRE vocalist Martin Steene, bassist Peter Thorslund, guitarist René Loua and drummer Frederik Kjelstrup Hansen.

In a March 2024 interview with ROTR, Stützer stated about Steene's 2023 addition to ARTILLERY: "He can sing in a lot of different styles. We already have a new song we're doing with him and fans are going to love it. [Previous ARTILLERY singer] Michael [Bastholm Dahl] couldn't do the U.S. tour; that's also why Martin was on board. Martin was also in IRON FIRE and FORCE OF EVIL with Michael Denner and Hank Shermann from MERCYFUL FATE. People will be really surprised with how good he'll be."

Regarding Dahl's departure from ARTILLERY, Stützer said: "Michael and me are still very close friends. He just couldn't tour so much. He didn't want us to be stuck."

Dahl made his final recording appearance with ARTILLERY on the aforementioned "Raw Live (In Copenhell)" live album.

"X" was recorded at Medley Studio with producer Søren Andersen, with whom ARTILLERY had worked with on every record since 2009's "When Death Comes".

Longtime ARTILLERY drummer Josua Madsen, who played on the band's last four albums, died in March 2023 at the age of 45 after being hit by a bus on a dark country road between Copenhagen and Roskilde, Denmark.
