release notes:
Nuclear Assault was an American thrash metal band formed in New York
City in 1984. Part of the mid-to-late 1980s thrash metal movement, they
were one of the main bands of the genre to emerge from the East Coast
along with Overkill, Whiplash, Toxik, Carnivore, and Anthrax, the last
of which was co-founded by Nuclear Assault bassist Dan Lilker, who had
been canned from Anthrax shortly after the release of their first album.
Nuclear Assault released five full-length albums and toured relentlessly
throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, and broke up in 1995. The band
reunited briefly in 1997, and permanently from 2001 to 2008 and again
from 2011 to 2022.
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 is the
second and last of the two demos. 'Live Suffer Die' one of the real
classic demos in thrash metal.
This digital reissue has a slightly re-arranged tracklist. Unknown if
any remastering has occured beyond transferring to digital.
