Assassin -Holy terror/The saga of Nemesis cd S/S w/slipcase

Stillsealed cd with slipcase and a 12-page booklet

Hardcorethrashers insisting that Assassin´s two early demos were superiorto the re-recordings of the very same songs that ended up on theband´s debut album The Upcoming Terror might have a point. When thefirst tape Holy Terror started to circulate at the beginning of1986, it not only put Dusseldorf on the map of German extreme metalbut was also an instant classic of Teutonic steel because thequintet married instinctive ferocity with an already impressivedegree of musicality. Dinko and me wrote all of the songs duringthat era, says guitarist Jurgen Scholli Scholz about the origins ofthese six tracks plus intro. We were inspired by doing all the newhot and fast stuff that had been coming out for some years, butwith our own twist. Although we liked Venom or Metallica – who madetheir best album with Ride The Lightning at around the same time –as well as Exciter, Motörhead and Tank, we aimed at finding anindividual way, which was still possible back then. Still rougharound the edges for all their palpable ambition, the tunes – thecatchy title track, band anthem Assassin and the surprisinglycolourful instrumental Speed Of Light amongst them – were recordedin 1985 in our rehearsal space with just one microphone. We hadbeen dabbling with a four-track recorder from our drummer´s cousin,but the result sounded way too soft, so we stuck to that very basicsetup. Listening to this stuff now, it´s astounding just how wellit has aged in comparison to the dilettantish initial steps of someof Assassin´s peers, most of which became significantly morepopular.
