Debut album from 1987 by the German ASSASSIN, one of the fiercest bands to emerge from the prolific German Thrash Metal scene of the 1980s. “The Upcoming Terror” is a relentless assault of aggression, speed and attitude, showcasing a young and hungry band pushing German Thrash Metal into some of its most intense and merciless territories.
With razor-sharp riffs, blistering rhythms and overwhelming energy from start to finish, the album perfectly captures the wild spirit of the European underground of its era. Now regarded as a cult classic, “The Upcoming Terror” stands as one of the purest and most violent expressions of the first generation of German Thrash Metal.
Recommended for fans of DESTRUCTION, SODOM, VIOLENT FORCE and DEATHROW.... pure cult!! [Slipcase]
