Assertion, featuring William Goldsmith (of Sunny Day Real Estate, The Fire Theft, and Foo Fighters), Bryan Gorder (of Slorder, Blind Guides, The Speans), and Justin Tamminga (of Pig Snout, Blind Guides, The Dying Trades), has their debut album Intermission arriving 9 April 2021 via Spartan Records. The album can be digitally pre-ordered on vinyl in the US and in the UK/EU, or you can get it from the Assertion/Spartan Records Bandcamp site.
Assertion has released the song “The Lamb To The Slaughter Pulls A Knife” from the upcoming album. About the song, Goldsmith says, “There is a musical chemistry with our band that is rare and at a level that none of us have experienced before. We have found ourselves slightly perplexed as to the origins of some of the songs. “The Lamb to the Slaughter Pulls A Knife” is an example of us sitting down and playing the song from start to finish – the vocal melody and the arrangement just appeared out of nowhere. The song seemed to write itself or somehow already existed.”
