Assück was a grindcore band from St. Petersburg, Florida, who had existed from 1987 to 1998. Their discography consisted of two full-length albums (Misery Index and Anticapital), as well as numerous 7” EPs, split 7” records, and various compilation tracks. Often considered one of the most important North American grindcore bands - and whom still has a strong cult following - Assück were sometimes described as an example of “hardcore kids playing death metal” and they certainly lived up to such a title with their incredibly technical drumming, down-tuned guitars and gruff vocals. But Assück never had guitar solos, unlike most death metal around that time, and their more poetic, existential, and vaguely-political lyrics of which were delivered in a unique and carefully-measured rhythm. |
