Music: Thrash Metal
Website: www.assassin-online.de
Duration: 54:52 minutes (12 songs)

When I saw that legendary ASSASSIN had recorded the next third material then large amazement surrounded me. After 12 years of silence, the legend of German thrash metal returned with the album “The Club”. The previous two albums I bestow great respect and I still listen with great sentiment until today.

Obviously the music contained on the disc is the solid thrash metal!!! The sharp, speed, aggressive thrash metal but isn't devoid the guitar's melodies and it is most important that it is the same old good ASSASSIN, without the excessive modernizations and decorations, but I does not mean, that the men thought up nothing new, on the contrary, the new disc will overthrow on the knee every maniacs of thrash metal. Mainly the men put up on the tradition with the suitable dose of fresh breath and it made very good!

Obviously these, which know ASSASSIN, they know, that their music contains small punk rock or old hard core of traces what appears in the lively simple phrases underlined by the very energetic sharp shouting vocal besides the very dynamic thrash metal patents obviously. The aggression and the dynamics flowing from the tracks are coloured by funny motives here and there, what was once the frequent intervention among thrash metal bands in style of just ASSASSIN and TANKARD, DEATH ANGEL or ANTHRAX. The pace of the material is quick generally, but does not lack here heavy climatically decelerations.

The material is really excellent!!!
