ASSASSIN Announces New Bassist

April 21, 2008

Reactivated German thrashers ASSASSIN have announced the addition of bassist Michael Hambloch to the group's ranks. According to the band, "Michael will take over Ufo Walter's place and has already started rehearsal our classic tracks to get fit and ready for our South America tour in June! Big thanks to Ufo for all his help and support in the last years. In fact, Ufo recommended Michael... Ufo will always be a part of the ASSASSIN family!"

ASSASSIN in February posted the song "Satan Dies In Pain" on the group's MySpace page. This track is taken from the legendary session demo tape CHECKERPATROL, featuring members of ASSASSIN and MAYHEM (Norway) plus Jon of Slayer magazine, recorded in ASSASSIN's rehearsal room back in the mid-'80s.

ASSASSIN's first official video, for the song "Assassin", featuring live footage shot during 2005-2007, can be viewed below.
