Nuclear Assault - Handle with Care [2020 Fan Remastered] Released in 1988 Uploaded at Lossless Quality Handle with Care is a great album old-school thrash album with plenty of influence from Hardcore Punk which bleeds through in tracks like "New Song" & "Inherited Hell". The political & environmental lyrics are what really make this album for me. Tracks like: the New Song; Critical Mass; Inherited Hell; When Freedom Dies; & Torture Tactics almost bring a tear to my eye on some days. Remastering this album required a lot of shifting approaches to equalizing as many of the faster songs were mixed in a different way than the slower tracks like "Critical Mass" & "Surgery". All of the tracks required a 30hz to 100hz bass boost of some size, and a treble increase of 4dB around the 8khz to 10khz range. These changes removed the more centralized mid focused sound of the album, expanding the kick and bass guitar while adding much needed air to the snare & cymbals.
