'Onslaught' have confirmed 'Dave Garnett' as their
new vocalist and replacement for the recently departed 'Sy Keeler'
('Garnett' has already appeared onstage with 'Onslaught'
deputising for 'Keeler' at 'The House of Metal' Festival in Umea,
Sweden earlier this year.)
'Onslaught' guitarist Nige Rockett comments:
Obviously it was a huge blow for us losing Sy, but in 'Dave Garnett'
we have found an incredible talent who has a great deal of
experience both on the stage and in the studio.
The new 'Onslaught' album is without question our most raw and
aggressive record to date, there's a lot of our early influences
shining thru and 'Dave' has more than risen to the challenge in
delivering some pure 'Thrash Metal' vocals.
'Dave Garnett' comments:
Naturally like everyone I was gutted to hear about the departure of
'Sy Keeler'. 'Onslaughts' music and 'Sy's' vocal style has been an
influence of mine for many years, so it was a great honour for me
to be asked by the band to fill these very BIG shoes.
As the new voice of 'Onslaught' I want to honour 'Sy' for his
amazing performances over the years, while at the same time as
bringing a new sound and energy to the band.
With a new album set for release and so many live shows / festivals
in the works, I will be extremely excited to step out on to the stage
with great anticipation and give the fans what they deserve!!!
