===Two more albums, departure of Lilker and split (1991β1995)=== Constant touring and recording was taking its toll on the band, and there was a rumor that the band might split.<ref>{{Citation|last=Roman Muster|title=Nuclear Assault Interview 1992|date=March 27, 2014|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7q2VUsHyVY |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/t7q2VUsHyVY| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|access-date=June 21, 2019}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The recording of ''[[Out of Order (Nuclear Assault album)|Out of Order]]'' was problematic as all four members were in the process of making solo projects.<ref>{{Citation|last=Simon Morris|title=Nuclear Assault - Dan Lilker interviewed plus clips (1991)|date=September 8, 2010|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0hnigxfo30 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/d0hnigxfo30| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|access-date=June 21, 2019}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Lead songwriter Connelly was conspicuously absent from the recording process.{{citation needed|date=June 2019}} He only sang on five of the songs and played the guitar on one ("Quocustodiat" was his only full writing credit), leaving Evans and Lilker to do most of the recording alone.{{citation needed|date=June 2019}} ''Out of Order'' was poorly received, and during the subsequent tour in 1991 to 1992, there was some line-up shuffling β Connelly moved to vocals only for a time with second guitarist Dave DiPietro joining in 1992. Founding member Lilker departed to concentrate on [[Brutal Truth]] and longtime guitarist Bramante followed by the end of the year.{{citation needed|date=June 2019}} Undaunted, Connolly, Evans and DiPietro recorded ''Something Wicked'' for IRS/[[EMI Records|EMI]] in 1993 with new bassist Scott Metaxas, the title track featuring in the film [[Warlock: The Armageddon]]. Reviews again were somewhat unfavorable, as Nuclear Assault struggled to adapt to a less thrash-friendly music scene.{{citation needed|date=June 2019}} After touring Europe and the US for much of 1993 the band returned with a new line up of Dave Spitz on bass and a returning Bramante,<ref>{{Citation|last=NuclearAssaultVideos|title=Nuclear Assault "Behind Glass Walls" Unreleased Video 1995|date=April 22, 2015|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN0UJ3ZgFOQ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/DN0UJ3ZgFOQ| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|access-date=June 21, 2019}}{{cbignore}}</ref> joining Connelly and Evans for more North American touring before slowly coming to a halt in early 1995.The band contributed their take on ''Die Hard'' for a Venom tribute album in 1995 before calling it a day. Nuclear Assault's classic lineup later reunited for one concert in 1997 (put on by Eric Paone of Candy Striper Death Orgy in [[New Hampshire]]) then, two more shows the following year with Eric Paone on bass guitar in New England before parting ways a second time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nuclear-assault/1997/the-colosseum-coventry-england-5bfb2f28.html|title=Nuclear Assault Setlist at The Colosseum, Coventry|website=setlist.fm|language=en|access-date=June 21, 2019|archive-date=June 21, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190621170419/https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nuclear-assault/1997/the-colosseum-coventry-england-5bfb2f28.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nuclear-assault/1998/sir-morgans-cove-worcester-ma-bc3f9ea.html|title=Nuclear Assault Setlist at Sir Morgans Cove, Worcester|website=setlist.fm|language=en|access-date=June 21, 2019|archive-date=June 21, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190621170420/https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nuclear-assault/1998/sir-morgans-cove-worcester-ma-bc3f9ea.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
