I'm slowly still working through the backlog of records that I picked up last year, but haven't had the time to get posted up here. I've been taking my time picking through Tim's collection, but there is still plenty left to be excited about.
Onslaught was an 80's thrash metal band out of Bristol in the UK. I remember seeing the band's name around back in those days, but I didn't end up hearing them until '89 when they enlisted Steve Grimmett from Grim Reaper to do vocals for their In Search Of Sanity album. That was a good record, but it seemed that the main consensus was that the first two Onslaught records was where it was at. For one reason or another, those early Onslaught albums were more difficult for me to find in the stores at the time, so it was many years later and in a file sharing music download age before I was able to finally check them out.
Thrash till the death!
Both Power From Hell and The Force proved to be fantasic slabs of 80's thrash, but because I was so late in hearing them, I've never really spent much time with either one. As soon as I saw The Force in Tim's collection, I knew that I was going to have to buy it... and 2026 seems like a great time to really spend some time getting familiar with it.
