VIOLATOR SET 'CHEMICAL ASSAULT' EUROPEAN RELEASE DATE

VIOLATOR, Brazil's finest export of thrash metal since Sepultura, are
finally set to release their ripping debut album, CHEMICAL ASSAULT, in
Europe on July 21st 2008.

Fresh off a two month tour of South America and having recently featured on
the THRASHING LIKE A MANIAC compilation, VIOLATOR are ready to unleash the
thrash assault on Europe this July. CHEMICAL ASSAULT will be released on CD
in Europe by EARACHE RECORDS.

VIOLATOR frontman PONEY had the following message:

"We are really happy to get our record out in Europe by Earache. Maniax
from all places are writing us, it's amazing. Chemical Assault was done
with no big pretensions, in a total DIY spirit. It's a great honor to see
that it will be released by the same label that one day released Scum or the
Concrete Sox/Heresy split. To see how far this is getting, it's totally
unbelievable. We can't wait to travel to the old continent to thrash and
have some fun!"
