Biography
Nuclear Assault were among thrash metal's most socially aware groups, 
making room for serious subject matter (and occasional goofs) in their 
careening speed metal riffing. They also remained closer to the world of 
hardcore than most of their peers, and at their late-'80s peak released some 
of the most uncompromising thrash metal offerings of the time. After 
performing on Anthrax' 1984 debut Fistful of Metal, bass player Danny Lilker 
decided to jump ship and search for a more aggressive outlet for his music. 
Lilker formed Nuclear Assault with vocalist and guitarist John Connelly (also 
briefly a member of Anthrax in its formative years) in 1985. Guitarist Mike 
Bogush and drummer Scott Duboys only lasted a few months before being 
replaced by guitarist Anthony Bramante and ex-T.T. Quick powerhouse 
drummer Glenn Evans. One of the Big Apple's few challengers (along with 
Anthrax and Overkill) to the Bay Area dominance of all things thrash metal, 
Nuclear Assault became immediate contenders due to the cumulative sum of 
its parts — not to mention, their extreme nature and their ability to back it up 
with solid musicianship. Produced by metal stalwart Alex Perialas, their first 
album, 1986's Game Over, was regarded as a breath of fresh air with its 
potent speed metal tinged with hardcore overtones. In the process, fans and 
critics alike instantly accepted it and the band was quickly off to the races. 

The following year The Plague E.P. was an even more intense aural 
experience, but also managed to introduce Nuclear Assault's dark sense of 
humor with an ode to Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil (fresh off his vehicular 
manslaughter rap) on "Butt Fuck" (later retitled "You Figure It Out"). With 
constant touring making up for their obvious commercial limitations, the band 
continued to hone their craft in the studio, beginning with 1988's greatly 
improved Survive and culminating in 1989 the outstanding Handle With Care. 
The latter proved that the group could refine their political speed metal and 
songwriting without compromising their anti-establishment stance, and was 
supported by successful Euro tours with thrash titans Exodus, and later U.S. 
jaunts with Testament and Savatage. 1990s Live
at Hammersmith Odeon video celebrated this great phase, and the band 
came off the road having won a healthy dose of new believers. Shortly 
afterwards the band released “Out Of Order” and in 1992 Dan Lilker left to 
pursue Brutal Truth. The band released one more album (Something Wicked) 
and broke up. 

In early 2002 the band was approached by a mutual friend to reform for a 
couple of shows. Their first reunion show was a the Metal Meltdown in April 
and there they found out that their was a demand for the band to continue. 
They played the classic NYC venue CBGB in May along with a show in 
Massachusetts that was recorded for a live album to be released on 
Screaming Ferret Wreckords in early 2003. After a triumphant performance 
at the infamous Wacken Open Air festival in Germany in August, original 
guitarist Anthony Bramante left the band due to commitments at home and 
was replaced by Erik Burke. In September 2002 the band returned to Sao 
Paolo, Brazil, where they had played back in 1989 with the then fledging 
Sepultura opening. 

Nuclear Assault is currently in the process of writing music for the first new 
studio album in 10 years, and will be appearing at festivals thru Europe in 
2003 and in the US on a mini tour thru the Southwest and West Coast in late 
January and early February.
