D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany-based thrash metal band Assassin issued fifth full-length studio album Combat Cathedral<\/em> on May 20th, 2016 through SPV \/ Steamhammer. <\/p>\n

The outing was made available on CD, limited-edition LP (500 copies only on red 180g vinyl with CD) and as a digital download.<\/p>\n

Combat Cathedral<\/em> is the first Assassin album to feature vocalist Ingo \u201cCrowzak\u201d Bajonczak, who replaced founding member Robert Gonnella in May 2014.<\/p>\n

Guitarist J\u00fcrgen \u201cScholli\u201d Scholz issued the following statement: \u201cLike back in the 80s, the new album stands for thrash metal at its finest, but, after the last album Breaking The Silence<\/em>, much more mature, developed and with a very fat production. Songs with 220-240 bpm are not rare, same with groovy mosh parts, which are partially nested into each other and a lot of sticking refrains, which will animate you to shout them along immediately together with our new singer Crowzak. The opener sums it up perfectly: Assassin are \u2018back from the dead\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n

Combat Cathedral<\/em> was recorded and mixed by Marc G\u00f6rtz at Nemesis Studios in Essen, while mastering was handled by Olman Viper at Netzwerk Nullzweistudios in Hamburg.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork duties fell to Marcelo Vasco.<\/p>\n

The track listing is as follows:<\/p>\n
