NUCLEAR ASSAULT — Handle With Care (review)

4.5/5 ·
Warthur
Launching more aggression in 35 minutes that some bands manage in 70, Nuclear Assault's Handle With Care doesn't go full crossover thrash, but it flirts with it even more than the preceding album did, with a confrontational vocal delivery from John Connelly that wouldn't be out of place on a Black Flag album. Mixing longer pieces with shorter, tighter numbers, this combines thrash and hardcore song structures with the brutally thrashy guitar solos of Anthony Bramante, along with lyrics that remain relevant to this day. If you want to do anti-authoritarian political thrash, you want to be listening carefully to these guys.
