Artillery - Life in Bondage
BackThe song "Life in Bondage" by Artillery, from a must-have album called "By Inheritance". Fuckin awesome!! Artillery is a Danish technical thrash metal band. They participated in the early development of the genre, and their highly energetic, riff-centric and often fast-paced music is similar in style to that of Slayer and Megadeth from the same era. The band formed in 1982 in Taastrup, a suburb to Copenhagen. The members were guitarists Jørgen Sandau and Michael Stützer, bassist Morten Stützer, drummer Carsten Nielsen and singer Carsten Lohmann. The group recorded the demos Shellshock and Deeds of Darkness in 1984. Artillery's first commercial debut came in early 1985 with the inclusion of the song "Hey Woman," on Volume One of the Speed Metal Hell compilation series which was released on New Renaissance Records. Later that year, Carsten Lohmann left and was replaced by Flemming Rönsdorf. Later the same year, Artillery recorded a third demo, Fear of Tomorrow, signed with Neat Records, and released their first album, also titled Fear of Tomorrow. In 1986, Carsten Nielsen was contacted by Quorthon of Bathory asking him if he was interested in drumming for Bathory. Nielsen turned down the offer since he thought Artillery would become a much bigger band than Bathory. Their second album, Terror Squad, was released in 1987. Guitarist Jørgen Sandau left the band in 1989. Bassist Morten Stützer took over his position, lending the bass to recruit Peter Thorslund. Their third album, By Inheritance, was released in 1990 on both LP and CD, by Roadrunner Records. Artillery disbanded in 1991, some of the members pursuing musical projects of their own during the rest of the 1990s. LYRICS: Do somethin', keep things apart There's one thing, hidin' in your heart Wanting freedom, keen for control No one helps you, do as you're told Life in bondage - work at their command Feel like a blind man - just waiting for a hand Life in bondage - can you feel the chain? Work forever - 'cause you're never free again No courage You've got no guts Plainday rhythm You've grabbed by the nuts Never breakin' Can't even try Fear has got you Through your wife's cry Life in bondage - work at their command Feel like a blind man - just waiting for a hand Life in bondage - can you feel the chain? Work forever - 'cause you're never free again If you wanna be a free man then you'd better think again 'Cause you have joined the other fools You're counting money while your life is fading out That comes from sticking to the rules You're weak and soft to the core Your wife ain't nothing but a whore Get paid, feel rich for a day Face it, it's no use you pray Life in bondage - work at their command Feel like a blind man - just waiting for a hand Life in bondage - can you feel the chain? Work forever - 'cause you're never free again You're never free again
