Listen to “The Cruel Fate Of Destiny” album by NO CLASS ASSASSINS

 

NO CLASS ASSASSINS are a hardcore metal band from Port Huron MI. Formed in 2009 in a dingy broken down garage in Columbus township overlooking Gratiot Avenue, No Class Assassins took shape. Writing songs about simple minded people, battling depression, drug addicts and other subject matter most can relate to, "The Cruel Fate Of Destiny" was recorded and released through Hell-Fi Records out of Lansing in late 2019 before the covid-19 crisis hit. Destin Taylor is the current drummer for the band while Todd Bright is the drummer you hear like a fine-tuned machine on the debut album. Dave Kelsey has a unique intense skill on the ESP guitar reminiscent of Hatebreed's chug mixed with eerie Slayer riffs. Speaking of unique, Chris Stotler's bass attack is in perfect placement opposite the guitar with churning bass lines and creepy tones. Finally, vocalist Jay Crimson casts a brand of harsh shrieks over the whole mix that is very hardcore punk while scattering in death metal gutterals and Anselmo-esque low talks and groaning sequents. Overall, the production is bare bones but excellently executed with minimal effects that surprisingly work and tie everything together. Listening to the live examples of newer tracks with current drummer Destin Taylor, it doesn't leave much to the imagination that the best is yet to come.
