RIP Phil. Such a massive influence on the band and a true gent, Nige is still hungover from the tour with you back in '87 Thanks for the memories, thanks for your solo on our cover of Bomber and thanks for always looking happy to see us. Your music and spirit will never be forgotten.

Onslaught welcome Nik Sampson as their new lead guitarist! Get ready for high-octane, neck snapping energy, and pure unstoppable metal fury. Welcome to the family, Nik… 

We'll see you all in the pit! 

Huge thanks to Benediction for lending us Nik on the recent Australia / Asia tour..!

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!"

Something Brutal this way comes. What is this..???

Onslaught founding member and guitarist Nige Rockett makes his return to the Live stage with the band after a 3 year stage absence following a long battle with illness, his first appearance back will be on the 70000 Tons of Metal Cruise as Onslaught kick off a year of 40th Anniversary shows celebrating the release of their debut album 'Power From Hell'.
Nige has endured 2 spinal operations (upper and lower spine) during his forced hiatus and also a number of cancer related operations / chemotherapy.

With both conditions now thankfully in full remission / recovery and continuing to heal positively the road back begins right now!!

Nige comments: It's been a kinda brutal time over the past few years but it's great to finally be back, I'm not 100% by any means and its gonna take a fair while to get the fitness back but this will help massively for sure.
Sadly no more head banging for me, the surgeons told me that it was the most likely cause of the original spinal injuries and that i must behave in the future or risk a recurrence.!

See you all very soon in the Pit.!

Nige, Jeff, James, Wayne & Dave would like to wish everyone a very happy healthy & Metal 2025..!!

40 Years of 'Power From Hell' is about to arrive, it's gonna be a massive year..!
