Nuclear Assault have officially brought their four-decade run to a close, confirming that the veteran thrash metal outfit will no longer perform live or release new studio material.
The band shared a statement on November 12, making it clear that their decision marks a permanent end rather than an extended hiatus. Nuclear Assault specifically ruled out any possibility of reunion shows, farewell tours or future recordings.
“For more than 40 years, Nuclear Assault has been a part of the lives of metal fans around the world. From the early days of playing small clubs to performing on stages across the globe, we’ve had an incredible journey that few bands ever get to experience.
We’ve shared our music, our energy, and our passion with generations of fans, and we’re proud of everything we’ve accomplished together.
But every journey eventually reaches its end, and for Nuclear Assault, that time has come.
We want to make it absolutely clear that Nuclear Assault has officially come to an end. There will be no reunions, no farewell tours, no future live performances, and no new studio recordings. This chapter of our lives is permanently closed.”
The group also expressed gratitude to the fans who supported them throughout their career, from their early days playing clubs in New York City to performing on stages around the world.
“Although Nuclear Assault will never take the stage together again, the music isn’t going anywhere. Our recordings, remastered releases, and videos will remain for longtime fans to enjoy and for future generations to discover.
Nuclear Assault’s story has been written. There are no more chapters to come, but the music and the legacy will live on.”
The farewell message was signed by Dan Lilker, John Connelly, Anthony Bramante and Glenn Evans, officially closing the book on the band’s more than 40-year history.
