Assalti Frontali were born in 1991 from the ashes of the Roman music collective Onda Rossa Posse (ORP), which arose in the late 1980s within the Roman radio station Radio Onda Rossa. On 15 June 1990 they released the mini-album Beat your time, the group's first record release and one of the very first hip hop records sung in Italian. Despite its self-production and independent distribution, especially in social centres and 'movement situations', the record was a great success and sold about ten thousand copies, making the so-called posse phenomenon explode in Italy. Between 1991 and 1993, two groups were born from the Onda Rossa Posse experience: AK47 and Assalti Frontali Assalti Frontali was the name chosen for the label that would take care of the Onda Rossa Posse's record productions. Shortly after the release of the record, in September 1990, the Onda Rossa Posse disbanded: Assalti Frontali became the name of the new group. In 1991, the group, under the name of United against war affects and publishes Baghdad 1.9.9.1., an anti-Gulf War single that confirmed Assalti Frontali as an important reality of Italian underground hip hop. In July 1992, the band released their first album, No Man's Land, the first rap LP in Italian; it was sold at a political (and enforced) price of 17,000 lire, gaining much favour in the same milieu. The Assalti subsequently dedicated themselves to a series of concerts: Forte Prenestino (with the Mano Negra), Rome's Stadio Olimpico and a concert under the Rebibbia prison in Rome (from which a double cassette entitled Outside Rebibbia). In 1993, the group released (on vinyl only) the single Southwhich is included in the soundtrack of the film of the same name directed by Gabriele Salvatores. After collaborating on compilation related to the book Walking under the night sky by Sante Notarnicola, the band took part in a concert at the Villaggio Globale in Rome on the occasion of the ballot between Gianfranco Fini and Francesco Rutelli. The following year, together with other Roman posse such as One Love Hi Pawa, AK47, Musica Forte, 00199, they founded the Cordata per l'autorganizzazione, an independent music and distribution label that produces and distributes albums by South Posse, Brutopop and Lou X.

Concerts with Fugazi and Almamegretta followed. It was the turn of the group's second album, Conflictwhich came out in 1996 and sold 25,000 copies thanks to its distribution on newsstands with the newspaper The Manifesto. After the record's promotional tour, the group's historical voice, Militant A, published the book Stories of Frontal Assault. The band's independent career was interrupted in 1997 with the signing of a contract with the BMG label. In 1999 it was produced by Ice One Bandits followed by the book The journey of the wordagain by Militant A. In 2004, after breaking their contract with BMG, Assalti Frontali became independent again and released their fourth album, Hic Sunt Leonesagain produced by The Manifesto.

The album won the award for best independent album 2006 at PIMI, the Italian Award for Independent Music, an award organised by the Meeting Etichette Indipendenti (MEI).
