Onslaught were formed in Bristol, England by Nige Rockett (guitar) & Paul Hill (bass) in 1983 and began life under the influence of second generation hardcore punk bands, but exploiting a strong desire for a more metallic sound and the love of Motorhead, they would quickly search out a more defined and original style. The result are albums such as “Power From Hell” (1985), “The Force” (1986), “In Search Of Sanity” (1989) and after a long hiatus also releases like “Killing Peace” (2007), “Sounds Of Violence” (2011) and their latest studio effort “VI” (2013).
UK Thrashers Onslaught have become one of the bands that are now synonymous with the brilliance of and endurance of today’s ‘Thrash Metal’ movement and it is always to the delight of fans and critics around the world when the band announces the release of a new record. Time once again to prepare! Onslaught led by founding member Nige Rockett is primed to set the world on fire once again with the most ferocious Thrash Metal !
