ASSAULTER is a thrash metal band formed in Taranto (Italy) in late 2007 by the true uncompromising thrashmaniacs Enzo (voice and bass) and Paolo (guitar) with the specific intent to compose fast and hard old school thrash metal songs. Their compositions are influenced both from Bay Area and from Germanic Thrash Metal and also HC.

Just formed the line up ASSAULTER start to play live in early 2008 finding acclaim not only from thrashers.

In October of the same year line up changes and Luca (guitar) join in the band. Passes less of an year and new troubles with the drummer force ASSAULTER to another line up change. New drummer Rodolfo gives the band a new nusical approach, soongs become more fast, technical and violent. This is the line up that record the first release of the band.

In early 2011 the first self-produced EP Crushed by raging mosh” was released. Fans, webzines and radio show great enthusiasm and their work is defined in Japan as one of the best underground Thrash/Speed release of 2011..
