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.

By Inheritance is now considered by many thrash metal fans as a classic in the genre. It’s available as a numbered limited edition of 1000 copies on purple vinyl and contains an insert.
