Album 2012 on Classic Series label
Rock (Thrash)
With the mid eighties Thrash explosion, New York's Nuclear Assault leapt to the fore due to the prime motivating force of ex-Anthrax bassist Dan Lilker. Although the gangly, mop-topped bassist had actually been a co-founder of Anthrax, having named the band and been pivotal in the crafting of debut album 'Fistful Of Metal', he severed ties with Anthrax in 1983, due to disagreements with then vocalist Neal Turbin. It took two and a half years to assemble his next project, the far rawer Nuclear Assault. In the interim, Lilker had involved himself with the commercially successful spoof Metal project of S.O.D. ('Stormtroopers of Death') alongside Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian and M.O.D. vocalist Billy Milano. Nuclear Assaults recorded two great thrash metal demos with the line-up of Lilker, vocalist John Connelly, guitarist Anthony Bramante and ex-TT Quick drummer Glenn Evans before signed a record contract. This compilation features the classic ‘Live Suffer Die’ demo from 1985 and two rare unreleased live shows. First out is 5 tracks from the Aardschokdag in Issehalle in Zwolle on the 29th of May 1988. The second live show features three tracks from the famous Hammersmith Odeon venue in England. The band would tape their show there a couple of years later and release the ‘Live At Hammersmith’ album. That album however is from the ‘Handle With Care’ tour while this recording was done back on the 20th of June 1987 when they played the Odeon with Atomkraft, Agent Steel and Onslaught. The sound is rather raw and but still fun to hear some classic Nuclear Assault tracks performed back in the days.
