History:

Assassin is a German Thrash Metal formed band in 1982 in Düsseldorf, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, firstly under the name Satanica, then in 1983 under their definitive name Assassin. After 2 demos and a live album, the band released their first two studio albums, The Upcoming Terror and Interstellar Experience in '87 and '88, then after another demo, the band splited-up for an unfortunate reason: The band got their instruments stolen, and they had no money to buy new gears, so they were forced to disband. Then they reformed in 2002 after a meeting that went perfectly well, to after record the album The Club that was released in 2005. 6 years later, in 2011, they released Breaking The Silence and a compilation called Chronicles Of Resistance. In 2012 they have released their last material to date, with a video called Chaos and Live Shots.

 

Recommended Material:

The band, in my opinion, released their best Thrash in the 80's with their first two albums, but they have also great songs in their last one. Here are songs from those albums that I recommend you to listen to:
