The veteran thrash group described the new release as follows, "Brand New EP with four killer old school thrash tunes written by Dan Lilker and John Connelly."

The group was formed after Lilker left Anthrax in 1984, and late last year the bassist revealed his plans to wrap up the band's career after three decades with a final album and tour. It is not clear whether the Pounder EP will be the farewell record, or whether an album will follow.

Lilker said: "In 2015, it will be 30 years since Nuclear Assault solidified our lineup and started making a name for ourselves. To commemorate this, the band will write and record another album and play some shows for a final assault." Read more - here.
