Assassin Streams New Track "Back From The Dead"

It's a phenomenon that we occasionally come across in life: sometimes you have to take one step back to be able to take two steps forward. "Combat Cathedral," the latest album release by Düsseldorf speed thrash metal act Assassin, takes two steps forward. It presents a band that is not only highly motivated, bringing to bear all the tried and tested fortes and pushing the pedal to the metal as ever, but that also has the courage to evolve.

Today the first song from the album has come online. Check out "Back From The Dead" in the player below. On the song, guitarist Jürgen "Scholli" Scholz commented: "'Back From The Dead' is the opener of the new Assassin studio album 'Combat Cathedral' and it hits you right in the face. It shows that Assassin is really back, stronger than ever with our new singer.

The twelve songs were recorded at the Nemesis Studios in Essen with the support of experienced sound engineer Marc Görtz, guitarist and main songwriter with German metal core legend Caliban.

Scholz comments: "Marc made sure that the typically earthy and consciously slightly old-school Assassin sound is ever-present on 'Combat Cathedral,' enhancing it with a contemporary phat production. A perfect symbiosis!"
