PICTURE THIS:
It's the late 90's and the last thing I want is another grunge good-for-nothin' band, let alone the "metal" scene! Helloween clones and riffless, sololess Nu "Metal" monkeys.
So there I am (me = "Witchkiller") sitin' on my favorite sofa and listenin' to John Lee Hooker's (GOD) "Letter To My Ex" just after finishin' listenin' to the almighty "Metal Inquisition" from the legendary Canadian Metal Gods Piledriver !
Just before I got to finish my glass of Southern Comfort I got a call from my friend, "Stormtrooper" (Throat) sayin' "Man, I'm listenin' to Armageddon-Kratos right now and my dick is sky-high so guess what: Let's form a band, let's play some Heavy Motherfuckin' Metal the way we dig it". I said "ok". So there we were, we had no name, no band, just a few riffs and .A HUGE URGE TO BE FILTHY !
After a couple of months some friends, "Billy The Kid" on Guitar, "Iron Mike the Basskiller" on the Bass and "Hellhound" on Drums, joined in and that my dear kids was the first STEAMROLLER ASSAULT line up. Unfortunately Iron Mike decided to split on August 2000 but thank Cronos (Cronos = GOD) his place was soon filled by the perverted asshole destroyer "Zerstörer" !
In the spring of 2001 (and after a year of rehearsing) we started recording our self-titled, self-financed CD, which was finished just about 3-4 months later.
'Round October "Hellhound" decided to split due to musical differences. A good friend of the band, "Mad Dog", joined. Giving the band a necessary kick in our lazy asses!
After releasing our debut, we started gigin' with bands like SHADOWPLAY, CELESTIAL ODE, BLOOODSTAIND, VERDICT DENIED, POWERCRUE and more.
Doin' nothin' in particular but rehearsin' and gigin'.
3 years later we started recording our second cd, entitled "Raw 'n' Filthy". In the summer of 2005 "Stormtooper" made a hard decision and called it a day as far as him being a member of the band that was. The gap was huge but "luck smiled" on Steamroller Assault, as Nick "The Metal Machine" was available at that time, he sneaked into the band and joined in spilling his lungs on the mic!
We had problems with our daytime jobs and some more in order to finish the recording and mixing, but once again, thank CRONOS we managed it.
After a couple of years performing live and a million or so changes in the line up we ended up finding "Trouble" to fill up for the Bass and "Namiroth" to torture the microphone.
So here we are, bangin' chicks, bangin' our heads, bangin' our dicks (when we're out of chicks) and playing DIRTY, RUDE, FILTHY, Heavy / Thrash Metal Rock 'n' Roll AS LOUD AS FUCK (or FUKK if you prefer) !
Gentlemen: MAKE YOUR HEADS SWEAT !!!
Ladies: MAKE OUR "HEADS" SWEAT !!!
With Honor,
STEAMROLLER ASSAULT
