Assailant
was formed in Umeå in 2004 a small city in the north of Sweden.
Umeå is also the hometown of such great bands as
Persuader, Nocturnal Rites and Meshuggah. Assailant guitar player Oskar
Norberg is actually the little brother of Emil Norberg (Persuader/Savage
Circus) and Nils Norberg (Nocturnal Rites).
Assailant
consists of six guys between 21 and 25 years, Peder Sundqvist (Vocals), Oskar
Norberg (Guitar), Markus Sundbom (Guitar), Peder Sandström (Keyboard),
Joakim Jonsson (Bass) and Patrik Larsson (Drums).
Assailant
plays traditional Scandinavian Power Metal but with a twist, they are
combining the Power Metal with influences from In Flames and even old
Thrash Metal. This gives a great mixture of Nocturnal Rites/Morgana
Lefay inspired tunes, and some more aggressive tracks.
“Nemesis
Within” is an excellent debut album that will appeal to almost every
power Metal fan.
Recommended
tracks: “Lies”, Eternal” & “Tomorrow”.
