Assault : s/t 7" & Martyrdom 7"



Assault were a pretty damn good thrashy dark crust band whose two EPs I had posted previously. Here are their two 7" releases, both from the early aughts. These do not feature g.a.t.e.s. singer Negishi on vocals (he appeared on the 2nd of their two s/t eps), but I like Assault's o.g. vocalist just fine too.

I've seen the untitled 7" also referred to as the 'pain' ep, and it is the earlier release of the two.



Great band, with the just right amounts of melodic guitar and catchiness to set off their crust styling. They would have probably have had some more top notch releases if not for their bassist's fatal motorcycle accident.

ASSAULT : MARTYRDOM & S/T 7 INCH

UPDATE: The vinyl rip of 'martyrdom' contained in the above rar is not all that good (guitars are muffled), this one below sounds like it should.


MARTYRDOM (better rip)
