Nuclear Assault

Nuclear Assault to release a new album

US thrash metal veterans Nuclear Assault are working on their new album 'Final Assault'. This 7th studio full length album bears a rather predictive name, and so do following message from bassist Dan Lilker:

"ATTENTION NUKE FANS - A MESSAGE FROM DAN LILKER!!!

Greetings! I'd like to bring everyone up to date on what's going on with Nuclear Assault.

First though, let me clear up what's going on with my "retirement". Yes, Brutal Truth will be a done deal by the end of this year. With that will come a "slower" phase in my musical career in that I won't be constantly touring like I have since the mid 80s. I am simply scaling back what I'm doing so I can have a little more stability in my life although I am still quite busy here at home with Nokturnal Hellstorm (who just recorded our second album) and Blurring (who are in the process of recording at this writing), and I still play in Venomous Concept (also recording for a new release). That brings us to Nuclear Assault...

In 2015, it will be 30 years since Nuclear Assault solidified our lineup and started making a name for ourselves in the metal/crossover scene. To commemorate this, the band will write and record another album and play some shows for a 'Final Assault'. The live front will be of a limited nature due to the reality of people in the band having careers that they can't just walk away from for the time needed to go tour the world like we did in the 80s. Nevertheless we will try to do whatever we can, especially in the summer, to get out there and thrash for everyone again. Progress on writing music will not go quickly due to a couple of facts; we are geographically challenged so we can't just jam once a week like we used to, and we want to make sure that this album is really killer so we can go out with a big bang.

That's all for now, stay tuned and more info on shows will be forthcoming at the appropriate time.
Cheers people!"
