Onslaught are an English thrash metal band from Bristol, England. Initially active from 1983 to 1991, they reformed in 2004. The band initially drew influence from second wave punk rock bands such as Discharge and The Exploited, and then adopted a straight forward thrash metal sound. To date, Onslaught have released six studio albums, one compilation, four singles and two live recordings: a live album and DVD.
Onslaught were formed in 1983 in Bristol, England, by guitarists Nige Rockett and Hugh Hefner. Vocalist Jase Pope and bassist Paul Hill were then asked to join as Rockett was previously in another band with them called Deranged prior to knowing Grice. A demo was recorded. A track from the demo was released as the band's first song available to the public; the 7" EP cassette was called Wessex '83 and was a product of Face of the Subhumans. Jase Pope and Paul Hill were soon to be replaced by Roge Davies and Paul Davis, respectively. The subsequent line-up recorded a demo, What Lies Ahead, in 1983, which was produced by John Perry of The Only Ones.
In 1984, Paul Mahoney and Jase Stallard replaced Roge Davies and Paul Davis, respectively. The band started to write more heavy metal–oriented songs than their original punk sound. This was mainly influenced by the early releases of thrash metal bands, albeit with a darker sound. The band signed to Children of the Revolution Records, and released their debut album, Power from Hell, in 1985 as a result. As with other metal bands of the time, the lyrics were often Satanic, and the now iconic cover showed a demon emerging from a pentagram.

"In 1984, Brian 'Pushead' Schroeder - legendary punk and metal artist (Metallica, C.O.C., etc.) - started releasing and licensing bands on his Pusmort label...  Onslaught was a leading band merging the punk and metal sounds, developing what became the thrash metal sound..."

Welcome to the Skeleton Closet!

I was a rabid music collector for 30+ years - Punk and Hardcore in the early-Eighties, Death Metal and Grunge in the late-Eighties, Industrial and Experimental in the early-Nineties, and Goa Trance and Psytrance in the late-Nineties and early-2000s…

I also worked at a record company for 13 years, toured North America with numerous international acts, DJed internationally, produced festivals, and had a clothing importing company.  So in this time, I’ve accumulated a lot of interesting and limited items...

Family life and other life changes have made me decide to unload my collection.  For the majority of the items, I have been the original owner of the item.  I try to be accurate on my description and condition of the items.  I have a lot to sell, so check back often -- I’ll try to keep the new listings coming weekly...
