Dan Lilker is a fucking metal legend: He's played in Anthrax, S.O.D., Brutal Truth and a ton of other seminal headbanging-inclined bands over the years. Not the least of which is Nuclear Assault, one of the most ferocious, fearsome groups in the thrashiverse. Since forming in 1984 (after Lilker's split with Anthrax), Nuclear Assault haven't looked back once in the last three decades, unless you count their intermittent hiatuses. Then again, everyone could use a break once in a while — and for the past three years or so, Nuclear Assault have done just that.

Well, the break's over: On January 20th, 2018, Nuclear Assault will take the stage at Brooklyn's St. Vitus for their first show since 2015, and it's co-presented by Revolver. Tickets for the 21+ concert, which features support from Heavy Metal Kings, Kings Bounty, and more TBA, are available here. Check out a poster for the event below. See you in the pit!
