ASSASSIN To Release 2CD Set In August

ASSASSIN was officially formed in 1984 with the original lineup of 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 very well. 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 thrash bands. Supporting Death Angel on their first official tour in 1988, nearly all of the shows were sold out. 2011....saw the release of "Breaking The Silence". After their successful introduction to metal radio in North America, SPV brings you the history of ASSASSIN in a very special package entitled "Chronicles Of Resistance" will be released in North America on August 16th. In addition both albums "The Upcoming Terror" and "Interstellar Experience" will be released with their original cover artwork as double gatefold LPs with bonus tracks and colored vinyl on July 26th in North America.
