Formed in 2003 Nuclear is one of the most dynamic South American metal bands of the new era. Nuclear musical career started under the name Escoria in 1995 but it wasn't until 1997 when the first recording was released. After disbanding in 2001, Escoria's name turned to Nuclear and the original members Sebastian Puente, Francisco Haussmann and Punto Sudy found a steady line up which is kept up to date.
Heavily influenced in 80's thrash and old school death metal, Nuclear has released 3 studio albums and toured in several countries sharing stage with acts such as Testament, Forbidden, Voivod, Grave, Hirax, 1349, Joey Belladonna, Destruction, Brujeria and many others.
Nuclear's latest record Jehovirus was mastered in the UK by metal music engineer Russ Russell (Napalm Death, Dimmu Borgir, Evile, etc.). The band is now working on new material for its fourth full-length to be released by mid-2012.
