SURVIVAL

UK’s heavy rockers I, ASSASSIN have released a new official video “Survival”, feat. the band’s new vocalist Ashley-James Peters, watch the video here:

I, ASSASSIN are a high-energy, dynamic and exciting 4-piece heavy rock weapon forged in the darkest corner of Shropshire, UK. Formed out of the ashes of two ill-fated bands, I, ASSASSIN is a coming together of 4 distinctly different individuals unified under a single vision; – create and perform outstanding and infectious original rock music, playing whenever and wherever they can until the wheels fall off or they achieve world domination. I, ASSASSIN is a sonic juggernaut of sound, with a focus on big riffs, bigger soaring choruses and a fist-pumping drive. With a disciple of old-school classic rock on guitar, a hair-metal bassist, a pop-punk drummer, a metalcore singer, and a collective list of influences so broad and diverse, it’s almost impossible to define their sound…the only guarantee they give is it will be loud, it will be fast, and it will leave you with a grin from ear to ear. After spending almost a year developing their signature sound, they made their live debut in March 2017 to instant praise and acclaim. A strong debut year followed; performing as finalists in both Metallum & Soundwaves music competitions, and unleashing numerous blistering headline shows across the West Midlands.Their self titled EP, is now available on all major music platforms!

Survival-NoGrief

“No Grief”, the sophomore full-length collaboration between SURVIVAL and London based Merdumgiriz records is raw hardcore grief. Through the swollen tumors of thick drums, Nick’s desperate vocals slither the damp basements of depressive Californian guitars and pulsating velvety bass. Again churning a sick musical dish with elements of hard rock, punk, thrash metal and electronic music filtered through a world of sorrow; the album is a highly original gem of melodic west coast heaviness and depression. Complemented with the insanity of the best 90ies style American urbanite depressive lyrics and artwork, all made by the man who makes the music itself, this release and the genius behind it is more than a fine addition to the mental asylum brotherhood of Merdumgiriz Records.

SURVIVAL is a hardcore/thrash group from the California Bay Area. Since the band’s conception in 2009, Nick Noro is the only original member and sole songwriter. After years of lineup changes and the death of original bassist Sam Vincent, the lineup has remained consistent and recorded 2012’s “Love God” record at Castle Ultimate with Zack Ohren. The group has opened for bands such as Attitude Adjustment, Lecherous Gaze, and Hot Lunch as well as eclectic groups such as Japanther and Chippy Nonstop. Nick Noro has released over 200 lo-fi demos via the Internet under the Survival moniker in addition to the band’s professional recordings (“Love God” “Unity” “Shayda”).

As with his work on all Merdumgiriz releases, each Hapiness CD is handmade by Emir Togrul (YAYLA, ViRANESiR, BLLiiGGHHTTED); who sprays the discs, cuts and inserts the prints for the jewel case, hand-paints the t-shirts and patches and pretty much makes everything from scratch.
