Page "Assück" Paragraph 0

Assück was an anti-capitalist and anarchist grindcore and deathgrind band from Saint Petersburg Florida, active from 1987 to 1998.

The band proved influential, with their album Anticapital ( 1992 ) voted number 4 in the Terrorizer list of their top 20 US grindcore albums, who described it as a " low-calibre battery of brooding, malicious, doom-ridden grind pitched somewhere between early Napalm Death and even earlier Bolt Thrower ".

According to journalist Greg Pratt, " Assück were an incredible band with probably metal's best drummer Proctor, although no one ever mentions his name.

They combined shockingly well-written poetic and political lyrics with catchy songs, insane musicianship and a short-fast-loud brutality that no one has topped since.

" Writing for Maximumrockandroll, Felix von Havoc describes the political punk and metal roots of this band, stating " Assuck managed to combine the anger, fury and social commentary of a punk band with the musicianship and production quality of a Death Metal band.
