Onslaught VI, ltd.ed.

2013, England may not be the first country you'll think of when it comes to Thrash Metal. Yet, it's hard not to think of Onslaught when mentioning legendary bands of the genre. POWER FROM HELL (1985) and THE FORCE (1986) have a well deserved place in the collection of any old school Metal fanatic and the British quintet continues to release quality Thrash records. The speeding frenzy of neck breaking riffs, ripping leads and powerful songs made the aforementioned albums a success among the European underground. After being disbanded in 1991, the band returned in 2007 with KILLING PEACE, the musical equivalent of being hit in the teeth with a sledgehammer, featured the high speed Thrash the band is notorious for, combined with crushing mid tempo tracks, with Keeler soaring on top that more powerful than ever, and was a fist in the face of anyone who deemed the Brits dead. The new effort called VI is extremely violent and back to their roots in many ways, but also sounding very contemporary in its entirety.
