Fear of Tomorrow is the debut album by Danish thrash metal band Artillery. It was released in 1985 via Neat Records.
Music
Fear of Tomorrow takes stylistic cues from both the new wave of British heavy metal and American thrash metal. According to Eduardio Rivadavia of AllMusic, Flemming Ronsdorf's "wailing falsetto was common enough for the era, but when combined with a lower, gravelly growl, somewhere between AC/DC's Bon Scott and Accept's Udo Dirkschneider, it would become Artillery's most recognizable asset."[1]
Critical reception
Eduardio Rivadavia of AllMusic gave the album three and a half stars out of five. He said: "Even though the quintet's somewhat inconsistent songwriting couldn't keep listeners riveted at all times, their instrumental abilities at such high speeds still sounded quite phenomenal for the mid-'80s, and the distinctively varied style of singer Flemming Ronsdorf provided a highlight in itself."[1]
