 Год :2011 Tracklist ^ Label: STEAMHAMMER
Quote GO! FIGHT! KILL! No sound truly defines Thrash Metal more | | than ASSASSIN. A hybrid of Speed Thrash Metal and | | Hardcore splashed with a sense of humor, it grabs you by | | the throat and kicks your ass. Although a band photo | | predates the official band formation, ASSASSIN was | | officially formed in 1984 by original lineup, Robert | | Gonnella(vocals), Dinko Vekic (lead guitar), Scholli | | (rhythm guitar), Lulle (bass) and Psycho (drums). Dubbed | | the Holy Terror era, their first demo sold approximately | | 500 copies; a great feat considering there was no | | internet music sharing. A short time later, the Nemesis | | demo was released in 1986 and Assassin was signed to SPV. | | THE UPCOMING TERROR album was released and sold | | approximately 15,000 copies. After some time off, the | | band regrouped with new members Michael Hoffmann (guitar) | | and Frank Nellen (drums). They released their second | | album, INTERSTELLAR EXPERIENCE in 1988 and quickly rose | | through the ranks as one of Germanys top 5 thrash bands. | | Supporting DEATH ANGEL on their first official tour in | | 1988, nearly all shows were sold out. While working on | | their third album, all their equipment was stolen and | | ASSASSIN, having no funds to reinvest in equipment, lost | | their will to continue and shortly broke up thereafter. | | Fast forward to 2002! After numerous chants of GO, FIGHT, | | KILL from the worldwide Thrash Metal community, the band | | regroups and the official ASSASSIN reunion is announced. | | This new lineup was Robert (vocals), Dinko (lead guitar), | | Scholli (rhythm guitar), Achim (bass) and Atomic Steiff | | (drums). A new 5 track demo was recorded and played live | | at Wacken 2003 to the positive reviews of many critics. | | Its incredible how quick the underground spreads the | | information, explains Rudy Schmitz, ASSASSINs manager. | | Suddenly, radio stations are playing ASSASSIN again in | | their rotations and the rabid fans want more and | | theyionally want ASSASSIN live. Shows are booked and | | appetites are fed. "We made some shows and it was like | | coming home",german label says singer Robert Gonnella. | | With Dinko gone most ofcer Harris Johns 2005, it was | | decided that another guitarist would step inSilence" will | | be released to fill the void and also support Dinko. | | Back from a 6icking asses!!! year long extended trip to | | Brazil, Michael, formerly on SODOM..s Better Off Dead and | | an ASSASSIN veteran, having recorded on Interstellar | | Experience, was ready to jump in as a third guitarist. | | Atomic and Dinko left the band and Frank once again was | | back on skins. In early 2005 their 3rd album "THE CLUB" | | was released, self-produced and self-released. In 2009, | | the drummer Frank Nellen left the band for personal | | reasons and was replaced by the Wicked Kemao drummer | | Bjoern Sondermann. At the same time the problem of the | | occupation on bass was dissolved with the joining of | | Joachim Kremer. In spring 2010, Assassin played some | | shows in Asia where the concerts in Japan were profess | | recorded with the plan to release a future DVD. In autumn | | 2010 the band signed again a record deal with the | | SPV/Steamhammer and recorded their new album with produ | | (Voivod, Kreator, Sodom). The new album "Breaking The | | Silence" will be released worldwide in February 2011 and | | Assassin are back again kicking asses!!! | ************ _____________________________________ |
