The album was recorded in early 1984 and from that recording-session they used the 2 tracks "Treason & All Your Love" for the 7" single that was released the same year. This was to be their calling card to record labels and the world. By the summer of 1985, the band was working towards getting "the big record deal" and had licensed songs to a few indie metal compilation albums to raise their profile. By the end of 1985, Assassin had received several label offers, but was holding out for just the right deal. While working towards that goal, Pete Papps left in January of 1986 to form Red Alert, and the band brought in L.A. vocalist Marc Anthony.
With fresh energy and some new material, Assassin continued on a short while longer before problems with their new singer forced the band to implode and, after a reunion show in July 1986 with Pete back on vocals, Assassin was no more. That is, until the band was coaxed back into action for one final show almost two years later at Club Mirage on February 6, 1988. This was truly the end of Assassin and, with the reign of metal on the charts approaching its nadir, the end of an era.
Deep Shag Records re-issued this album in 2009 with 5 live -tracks recorded in 1984. Sadly the rip I got don't have them included.., so if anyone have the reissue with the live-tracks for share use the upload form or send me a mail please.
