Nuclear Assault

This page is under contruction, please check back.

This is a discography of Nuclear Assault's releases. Unfortunatly, they are going out of print, so get 'em while you can. I'll try to explain why I like each album - and give you some reasons why I don't like parts of that album. Later on I hope to have sound clips for you to listen to.

This CD is a combination of Nuclear Assault's first two albums, Game Over, and The Plague.

Game Over defined the band as a speed band, this is when they were sued because someone got whiplash headbanging to one of their slow songs. There are songs of all lengths on this one, from the 25 second Mr. Softee Theme to the 43 second march cry Hang the Pope ending with the 7 minute 14 second Brain Death there is a song on here for any allocated listening time. They played their instruments with extreme passion, and John threw his circus clown voice out to the listener, a plea fo r attention. Everything you wanted to know about the aftermath of global thermal nuclear war, but were afraid to ask.

The Plague was a six song release. They changed their sound, it is quite a bit heavier - but they didn't lose any speed. Game Over is a two and a half minute instrumental that shows off the guitar solo genius of John Connelly and Anthony B ramante. The subject matter of the lyrics changed quite a bit, to the evils of large and powerful government.



Survive was a combination of Game Over and The Plague. They cranked out twelve songs on this album, with the same skill and fire of their first two releases. Trying to appeal to your common sense, Brainwashed, F#, < I>Wired, and Technology implore you to evaluate and think more about the world. Equal Rights is a plea to the American public to forget the color of their brothers skin, making racial violence a distant unforgotten memory. The final so ng on this effort, Good Times, Bad Times is a wonderful remake of the Led Zepplin classic. I wore this tape out.... several times.



Handle With Care - Nuclear Assault's fourth effort. Enviromentalism on plastic. :) (more copy coming soon)



Out Of Order - Nuclear Assault's fifth effort. The cure for social disease. (more copy coming soon)



Something Wicked was Nuclear Assault's last release, they broke up after the Something Wicked tour. A great band has fallen, and will be missed. Their finest release. Below is my thoughts about each song.

This album is a self help manual set to a thrash soundtrack. In this album is all the inspiration that one needs to get anything accommplished. If after listening to this album, you don't feel moved to something great, have your pulse checked.

Another Violent End is a plea to the nations of the world to leave our bloody violent ways, and let the world have some peace. "Why can't we let it end?" Is there a time in our history and future that this song has not applied?

Behind Glass Walls is a study of a person that sees nothing but what applies immediatly to him, missing the entire world outside. His thoughts are bent tword his world only, and his world causes his thoughts to bend even further inward. Finally h e sees the error of his ways, and the blood on his hands. He still has a chance to grasp the truth that he has found.

Chaos. We've got the son of a millionaire, he's representing the masses.... I thought that most people I know are broke!

The Forge. If you like acoustic guitar intros that explode into grinding refrain, this is the one for you. This song teaches the lesson: Don't turn away because the battle seems futile, for then you have truly lost - ultimatly turning you into the thing that you hate the worst.

No Time. 12 string acoustic guitar intro by Karl Cochran. Absolutly beautiful.

To Serve Man.Are politicians and their plastic grins actually human? Or are they aliens that have come to serve man with a cookbook straight from hell? I don't like the song, but the lyrics make me wonder.

Madness Decends. Why can't the hatred ever seem to end? Man against man, brothers fighting one another and no one ready to make amends.

Poetic Justice. Websters American Street slang set to music. I don't like this one, only because I feel that this song can only perpetuate the behaviour.

Art. Ten seconds, four notes, a tribute to just doing anything and being able to call it 'art'.
