Following the release of their much-acclaimed “Skullblast” EP (released in November 2024 via Massacre Records HERE!), German thrash metal act ASSASSIN has shared a new lyric video for “Cut Your (Own) Throat”! In addition, the band has announced a series of live dates for 2025, including their first-ever live appearance in Mexico!
About their latest video release, ASSASSIN comments:
“The song is a clear and fierce statement of the current ASSASSIN-lineup to fight back any offense, envy or verbal assaults from beyond – and never back down! Only WE are “the boss” here – we won’t let us get fooled by anyone – and if ya gonna give it a try – you will see what will happen: you are about to CUT YOUR(OWN)THROAT with that!”

For the first time ever, all band members collaborated on the five new songs featured on “Skullblast”, which contributed to a very creative and positive workflow. ASSASSIN have unleashed an EP of hard-hitting thrash metal songs that are bursting with heaviness and groove, hook lines with a high recognition value – brutal and groovy at the same time, but also rich in variety – while staying true to the band’s style. Also new musical elements, such as gang shouts or longer solos, have found their way onto the EP which captivates with a straightforward sound.
Not just on record but also live, ASSASSIN deliver a high-voltage, furious live show, that can be witnessed on their upcoming dates. Alongside shows in Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, with many more European dates to be announced soon, ASSASSIN will make their first-ever live appearance in Mexico! The band writes:
“Hola Assassinoz – only a few weeks left before we gonna make it over the big pond all the way over to MEXICO!!! We’re really looking forward to this trip and the 2 shows we gonna play – and we intent to present every ASSASSIN-fan a decent live-debut onstage! So come over in numbers and let’s burn down that hall together!”
