Thrash metal band from New York City, New York USA.

Formed in 1984 by Dan Lilker after he had left his former band Anthrax. The band recorded a number of well received albums before breaking up for the first time in 1995. They briefly came back in 1997-1998, before reforming properly in 2001. Nuclear Assault has not released an album of new material since 2005's "Third World Genocide", but they still tour occasionally.
