Biography

Hard. Fast. Loud. Dirty. Mean. As their name suggests, Assault’s onslaught of rapid-fire riffs has captivated audiences in Cleveland and beyond in recent years through the electrifying energy of their live performances alone. These young thrashers breathe new life into both the rising metal scene and mosh pit veterans alike. The band combines your favorite parts of old school metal with a fresh take complimented by crushing grooves, blistering guitar solos and infectious hooks.

Originally started in 2015, Assault had seen numerous lineup changes, demos, and even a second-place win at the Tri-C High School Rock Off before solidifying their current company of serious shredders. Featuring Dylan Andras’s (Mutilation Barbecue, Olathia) abrasive vocals and devastating guitar work—matched only by the mind-bending chops of guitarist Dom Velioniskis—Dave McJunkins’ thunderous bass grooves and the explosive drumming of Owen Pooley (200 Stab Wounds), Assault has become a force to reckoned with in the metal community.

The band released their debut album, “A Blind Eye,” on July 15th, 2022 after four years of tribulations to rave reviews from their die-hard fanbase and is currently preparing for their festival debut at Full Terror Assault VII.
