about

"Pinnacle of Suffering," Assault's first new music since the release of their 2022 debut album, spawned from a chat with a friend about the worst was to die. The conversation told of a man exposed to several times the lethal dose of nuclear radiation after a power plant mishap, who was kept alive for eighty-three days in hospice while his body slowly rotted from the inside out. Sparing the gruesome details, this struck metal inspiration for Assault—who deliver the story of this long and excruciating death in the form of a relentlessly riffing two-and-a-half minute track. Featuring blazing double bass drums, ripping guitar solos, and a headbang-inducing sing-along chorus of "Die... Slow!"

lyrics

I bleed
From every pore
Fatal error
Leaves a living corpse
My skin
Melts from my bones
Eyes peeled open
Pain no one could know

Pain no one should know

Rotting in bed
My will is yours
Brain dead
still i endure

Fluid builds inside my lungs
Cells die one by one

Die
Slow

Every minute inching closer to death
But that shit's at least like 6 fucking miles away
Time stands still, deteriorate
At the pinnacle of suffering for 83 days

My body is killing itself
Slowest death imaginable

Die
Slow
Die
Slow
