Onslaught "Power From Hell" CD Bonustracks!!

Descripción Onslaught are one of the few bands with a name that describes them perfectly. This bass-blasting opus of mid-80's black metal is a rather striking piece of musical violence. Sadly overlooked in many circles, Onslaught brought a strong combination of black metal and death metal to the table well before many of the bands credited with that synthesis even raised a note in the garage. While Onslaught certainly weren't the best at this style, they were certain pummeling and set the stage for many great things that were going to come within the black metal genre. "Power From Hell" is a Satanic surge of violence that is more fun than it should be though, and is deserving of your attention.
Killer cuts like "Damnation", "Onslaught (Power From Hell)", "Death Metal" and "Witch Hunt" slam and grind along like bulldozers on fire running through a plate glass window factory. These songs aren't pretty, but they sure as fuck are heavy and give a one-two punch that even Venom would have a hard time matching. (Needless to say though, Venom was much catchier...) Onslaught may not hook you in with traditional heavy metal hooks, but they do most certainly brutalize you with their massive roaring riffs and intense vocal patterns. It's not pretty, but it most certainly works.
Onslaught have been lost to time in an era when people have taken this idea and helped it evolve into the rather sizable "war metal" trend that gave little mention or credit to Onslaught. Thankfully though, people are re-discovering this death/black/thrash classic for being the trend-setting record it is. Much like Canada's Slaughter I think that Onslaught are finally getting their day in court.
