Formed in 1982 in Noordwijk, South Holland, MassattacK delivered a frenetic mix of fast-paced heavy metal and unfiltered madness—what they themselves called “mad metal.” The band's 11-track demo Late Arrival was recorded in 1985 and gained notoriety through the single “Suicide”, which earned 'Demo of the Week' honors on Vara's Vuurwerk, a prominent Dutch radio show, in 1987.

Combining humour, aggression, and punk energy, MassattacK built a local following and became the first band to ever perform at SCUM in Katwijk. After disbanding in 1988, the band briefly returned in the 1990s and left behind more unreleased material.

Now, 40 years later, Late Arrival has been officially released on CD by Headbangers Records and Big Bad Wolf Records, with a special AI-generated video clip made from archive photos available on YouTube.

Quote from original 80s press (Aardschok Magazine):

• Spencer van de Wiel – Vocals
