NUCLEAR ASSAULT: First New Album In Over a Decade on August 30!
As one of the most-respected and hardest hitting forerunners of the original thrash metal scene, NUCLEAR ASSAULT have built an impressive and enduring legacy through their time-tested, frenzied metal attack, socially aware lyrics and healthy sense of humor. On August 30, SPV USA is proud to bring you "THIRD WORLD GENOCIDE", NUCLEAR ASSAULT'S first studio album in over a decade.
Formed in 1985 by guitarist/vocalist John Connelly and bassist Danny Lilker (Anthrax, SOD, Brutal Truth), NUCLEAR ASSAULT became one of the few bands from the Northeastern US to rival the Bay Area thrash domination in the 1980's. Storming out of New York with their 1987 debut "Game Over", the band has created a legacy of work that has stood the test of time. Indeed albums such as "The Plague EP", "Survive" and "Handle With Care" sound as powerful today as when they first hit the streets (and many of Connelly's lyrics are very prophetic considering the world situation in 2005.)
The humor, of course, remains in tact, with the best example being a re-recording of the classic "Long Haired Asshole" from John Connelly's 1991 solo album. It may have taken a while, but they're back. And we, as metal fans, are the better for it.

American symphonic metal champions KAMELOT have been riding high since the release of the heralded new album "The Black Halo" earlier this year. The album has garnered nothing but praise (indeed, if there is a bad review out there, we haven't seen it!) and fans have been clammoring for a long-awaited American tour! They may indeed get their wish, but in the meantime, the band has confirmed that they will be making a trek through South America in the late fall.
