Background information über 'Outer Space Death'

Holy thrash! Here's something that'll blow your mind – Assassin's "Outer Space Death" captures the raw, untamed power of German thrash metal at its absolute peak. This isn't just another archival release; it's a time machine back to 1987 when these Düsseldorf legends were laying down the blueprint for Teutonic thrash alongside the legendary Harris Johns at Music Lab Berlin. What makes this so special? These are the live studio recordings that Harris had the band perform before the actual "Interstellar Experience" sessions – and man, do they pack a punch that some argue even surpasses the final album versions!

The energy here is absolutely electric. You can feel the band's chemistry crackling through every riff, every thunderous drum hit, every snarling vocal line. From the crushing opener "Junk Food" to the mind-bending title track "Interstellar Experience," this collection showcases Assassin as the phenomenal live performers they were. The bonus rehearsal and live tracks from Lambsheim 1987 add even more historical weight to this essential document. Audio restoration by Patrick W. Engel ensures every note hits with crystal clarity while preserving that authentic 80s thrash rawness.

For fans of:
Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Voivod, Dark Angel
