ASSASSINATOR UNLEASHES NEW SINGLE "DAMAGES" AHEAD OF UPCOMING ALBUM "DEFEATIZEN"

Murfreesboro, TN – Extreme Groove Metal solo project AssassinatoR , spearheaded by multi-instrumentalist Jonny North , has just released a punishing new single, “Damages.” This latest track serves as a powerful introduction to the band’s upcoming full-length album, “DEFEATIZEN,” set for release on April 18th .

Blending the relentless intensity of extreme metal with the groove-driven songwriting style of bands like Fear Factory, Morbid Angel, and Decapitated , AssassinatoR crafts a sound that is both ferocious and rhythmically compelling. The project was founded with a distinct vision—infusing traditional death metal elements like blast beats and tremolo picking with a more structured and groove-laden approach to vocal delivery and composition.

Originally hailing from Bloomington/Normal, IL , but now based in Murfreesboro, TN , Jonny North has ensured that AssassinatoR remains a one-man force of destruction , dedicated to pushing boundaries without compromise. The project’s discography already boasts two full-length albums, a re-recording of the debut, and a covers album. “DEFEATIZEN” marks the third full-length release, with multiple singles rolling out in the lead-up to the album’s drop.

Maintaining an independent and self-sufficient approach, Jonny North delivers AssassinatoR ’s ferocity live using a laptop-to-PA system setup, often performing solo on stage. This stripped-down yet devastating presentation emphasizes the raw power of the music itself.

Fans of crushing riffs, relentless energy, and extreme precision won’t want to miss “Damages” , now available on all major streaming platforms. Stay tuned for “DEFEATIZEN” —a record that promises to deliver unrelenting sonic devastation on April 18th .
