Assaulter – An Australian three-piece band aligning with the Speed Metal tradition with a new view to kill.
Formed as such in 2005 with the release of the 3 track demo ‘Proselytiser’, Assaulter showed a stripped back approach to Metal with a dark and epic feel – Consisting solely of S. Berserker, with the assistance of L. Bonic on the skins, it received a positive response both in Australia and overseas.
With the aim of forming a solid band, AC was recruited for the drum crushing and battery. After some time the 2nd demo “Omnipotent” was recorded in late 2006. With the Speed angle increased, this demo presented the cut that is Assaulter: Thrash and Death metal hooks with an epic overtone. This was pushed further with the release of the 'Subservience' 7" through Iron Bonehead in mid 2008 which featured 2 songs of both deathrash and epic sprawl.
As 2008 drew to a close lead guitarist T.Hellfinder was enlisted to add another guitar dimension to the barrage.
