You know,
even if I was a big Heavy Metal listener in the mid-late 80’s, it doesn’t mean
I listened to them all. We didn’t have
Internet and I was living in a small village (300) near a small town
(40000). This week while listening to a
classic Slayer record on Rdio I looked to the similar bands suggestions and clicked
on Onslaught, which I only knew by name.
My very first reaction was, Wow! I really wish I knew this band in the
80’s! Totally my genre. And further in
the album I thought, this guy sings like someone I know very well. Then it came to me. Paul Mahoney sings like GBH singer Colin
Abrahall! In fact, Onslaught sounds like
GBH but plays their instruments like a Thrash Metal band…or vice versa…you know
what I mean? Huge Punk influence,
perfect blend of Thrash and Punk. Great record…btw!
