NUCLEAR ASSAULT "Third World Genocide"[views:8643][posts:5]___________________________________ [Jul 21,2005 6:47am - SUBJUGATE ""] NUCLEAR ASSAULT "Third World Genocide" Nuclear Assault were among thrash metal's most socially aware groups, making room for serious subject matter (and occasional goofs) in their careening speed metal riffing. They also remained closer to the world of hardcore than most of their peers, and at their late-'80s peak released some of the most uncompromising thrash metal offerings of the time. One of the Big Apple's few challengers (along with Anthrax and Overkill) to the Bay Area dominance of all things thrash metal, Nuclear Assault became immediate contenders due to the cumulative sum of its parts — not to mention, their extreme nature and their ability to back it up with solid musicianship. Produced by metal stalwart Alex Perialas, their first album, 1986's Game Over, was regarded as a breath of fresh air with its potent speed metal tinged with hardcore overtones. In the process, fans and critics alike instantly accepted it and the band was quickly off to the races. In early 2002 the band was approached by a mutual friend to reform for a couple of shows. Their first reunion show was a the Metal Meltdown in April and there they found out that their was a demand for the band to continue. They played the classic NYC venue CBGB in May along with a show in Massachusetts that was recorded for a live album to be released on SPV in early 2003. Currently, Nuclear Assault has just finished a successful tour of South America with the band Sodom and is preparing for a European tour to support their first studio album in 10 years called “3rd World Genocide”. The album features 13 tracks performed by core members Lilker, Evans and Connelly along with Bramante and Burke. Supporting videos are planned for the songs “Long Haired Asshole” and “Price of Freedom”.

| _____________________________________________ [Jul 21,2005 2:38pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Something Wicked is alright, that and Out of Order were okay, at least in the tradition of the earlier albums. But this new one is utter shite. |
