March 01, 2012 @ 08:00pm - Y&T w/ SINISTER REALM
Y&T w/ SINSITER REALM (AS SEEN ON METAL ASSAULT FESTIVAL FEAT. SANCTUARY)
Best known for their signature anthem “Summertime Girls,” Y&T set the standard for hard rock bands including many that opened for them such as Metallica and Mötley Crüe. The powerhouse quartet is still fronted by lead vocalist, lead guitarist and founder Dave Meniketti and their high-energy show still captivates legions of fans. Originally formed as Yesterday and Today, they’ve sold millions albums with songs played on rock radio, MTV, VH1 and featured in movies and TV including “Baywatch.”

March 02, 2012 @ 06:30pm - DEICIDE – Jungle Rot – Abigail Williams – Lecherous Nocturne
Deicide
Known the world over as one of the founding fathers of Death Metal, Deicide stand strong to this day as one of the most influential and controversial metal bands ever. With a relentlessly brutal sound and uncompromisingly blasphemous lyrics, Deicide helped set the standards for Death Metal well over a decade ago and have maintained those standards ever since.
Jungle Rot
The Midwest based quartet JUNGLE ROT have garnered a large and loyal following within the last 10 years due in large part to having a style more similar to acts such as Slayer and Sodom, rather than the typical Cannibal Corpse and Suffocation rip-offs that the underground extreme music scene is so oversaturated with. The sound and attitude that JUNGLE ROT have exposed the public to is one of efficiency and execution. JUNGLE ROT have never tried to be the goriest or most technical band in the extreme underground, but instead have focused on flowing grooves and infectious, catchy songwriting. rn
Abigail Williams
American black metal band, originally from Phoenix, Arizona, but now based in Los Angeles. Formed in 2004, the group would suffer constant changes to their line-up. Shortly after an eight-week tour in support of In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns, vocalist Ken Sorceron would become the only original member remaining.
Lecherous Nocturne
Since their debut in 1997, Lecherous Nocturne have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the Southeastern metal scene, landing a deal with Unique Leader Records on the strength of their self-titled EP and their desire to expand the already-extreme boundaries of thrash, black, and death metal. Powered by the dense, interlocking riffs of guitarists Kreishloff and Ethan Lane,Lecherous Nocturne strips their metal right down to the bloody bones.rnrnExtravagant luxuries like mid tempo breaks hi-tech studio shenanigans conventional song structures and even guitar solos are all unnecessary in Lecherous Nocturnes world: their music is an unrelenting firestorm of grinding double-picked guitars, Alex Lancias powerful machine-gun drumming, and massive low-end rumble courtesy of bassist James O'Neal, the intensity here is way over-the-top, the bands fury is super-concentrated and highly disciplined bursts of bile.rnrnTheir recently released full-length album The Age Of Miracles Has Passed delivers a killing stroke and then slips away before you even have a chance to brace yourself. Lecherous Nocturne are poised to take the Metal world by storm, This release promises to be one of the most original, abrasive, and unforgiving Metal albums ever recorded, with Lecherous Nocturne being a name that calls to the higher ranks of Extreme Metal for some time to come...rn

Overkill
Overkill is an American thrash metal band, formed in 1980 in New Jersey. They have gone through many line-up changes, with singer Bobby 'Blitz' Ellsworth and bassist D.D.

To date, Overkill has released 15 studio albums, 2 EPs, 2 live albums and a 'covers' album. They were one of the early thrash metal bands to sign to a major label (Atlantic Records, in 1986), though Overkill would not achieve commercial success until they popularized 'thrash' in the late 1980s with their contemporaries Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Exodus and Testament.
