More dates to be added to the new tour… make sure you are following ONSLAUGHT on Bandsintown so you don't miss any announcements. 

We regret to announce that our upcoming European tour originally due to take place from January 28 to February 21 has to be rescheduled.Due to unforeseen circumstances, a decision has been made to move the tour to later in the year. This was not an easy choice, but it allows Onslaught to return in the best possible condition and deliver the line-up / shows you the fans expect and deserve.

Importantly, these dates are 100% being rescheduled, not cancelled, and updated tour dates will be announced as soon as they are confirmed.

We would like to thank you the fans, promoters and partners for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to returning to Europe later this year with the full force of the Onslaught live experience.

Seasons Greatings from all in Onslaught...See you next year...in the pit! 

After a 6-year hiatus Sy Keeler will hit the ground running at the BEC Arena in Manchester on November 9th for an explosive show at the UK's Damnation Festival! 

Following this Onslaught will be heading down under for the bands long-awaited Australian debut, before kicking off their freshly announced 2026 "The Force From Hell" European run!

Nige Rockett comments: "Wow, this is truly incredible having Sy back in the ONSLAUGHT camp. He has always been seen as 'THE' ONSLAUGHT vocalist and we know the fans are gonna' be blown away for sure. The band are in a truly great place right now after the success of the "Origins Of Aggression" release and this will be seen as amazing news, I'm sure.

"Sy states: "Well, that came out of nowhere! 'Sy, would you consider rejoining the band?' 'Ugh! Yes, of course, I've really missed it.' So almost 6 years on from my last gig, I'm very excited to be embarking on the 3rd chapter, looking forward to meeting old friends and of course making new ones, and of course having a few beers with my band mates. See you on the road very soon metalheads!"

Continuing the explosive success of their ongoing "Power From Hell" tour and their career-defining double-album "Origins Of Aggression" (released on May 22, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music), the band are ready to turn the pit into chaos once more with their "The Force From Hell" tour. In early 2026, they'll be bringing the ultimate thrash assault to 22 cities all over the continent - a full-on fusion of their iconic debut "Power From Hell" and the 40th anniversary celebration of "The Force

"ONSLAUGHT comment on their upcoming tour: "So looking forward to this one following on from the great success of the "Power From Hell" tour earlier this year: it's gonna be a full on combination of the best of "Power From Hell" with "The Force" [40th anniversary] to create a totally monstrous set for those who we missed out last time... Let there be thrash - see you in the pit!"

Reigning Phoenix Music - RPM is proud to announce the signing of one of the most influential and relentless forces in thrash metal: ONSLAUGHT.! The UK-based band, known for their unwavering aggression and decades of iconic anthems, have joined forces with the exciting new label to embark on a thrilling new chapter in their storied career.

Nige Rockett states: "Signing with RPM is the start of an always We've pushed ourselves to create the most intense and aggressive music possible and with RPM behind us we're taking things to a whole new level. "Origins Of Aggression" is just the beginning - get ready for absolute carnage!"

Reigning Phoenix Music is equally excited about the new partnership: "ONSLAUGHT is a cornerstone of thrash metal history and we are honoured to welcome them to the RPM family. Their legacy of pure aggression and unrelenting energy aligns perfectly with our vision and we are eager to take their music to new heights together."

To kick off this promising new union, ONSLAUGHT will release a very special double album titled "Origins Of Aggression," celebrating not only the 40th anniversary of their debut album 'Power from Hell' but also the pivotal beginnings of the band and thrash metal itself. Set for release on May 23, 2025, the forthcoming offering will include staggering 22 tracks, including re-recordings of the group's most important and defining songs from their early years, as well as a collection of punk and metal covers that deeply influenced ONSLAUGHT's conception and development. The track list includes songs that were originally jammed during the band's early rehearsals and served as a huge inspiration to pick up instruments and create the ferocious music that has shaped them into legends.

ONSLAUGHT's contribution to the thrash metal genre cannot be overstated: from their debut album "Power From Hell" [1985], which is being honored with this new release, to their celebrated performances across the globe, they remain an untouchable force in the world of heavy metal. With over 40 years of history, the quintet have steadily continued to evolve, delivering relentless riffs and neck-breaking anthems, and cementing their place as pioneers of the British thrash scene.

Alongside "Origins Of Aggression," fans can brace themselves for an electrifying preview of what's ahead with the release of 'Iron Fist,' ONSLAUGHT's crushing take on the MOTÖRHEAD classic, which will arrive on March 27.
incredible new chapter for ONSLAUGHT.

We are sorry to announce that due to our working visas not being issued on time, Onslaught are unable to play the Hell's Heroes festival this year. We are genuinely gutted, unfortunately it is a situation out of our control, but we will be back in the USA real soon, watch this space!
