Onslaught cancels US tour...new bands coming soon

[Diabolik]

from odin on facebook.


The bad news is that Onslaught is out. This is because their record label, AFM Records, wants to postpone their USA tour so they can promote their (Onslaught's) new album more in Europe. Unfortunately, this means that Exumer, Bonded by Blood, and Fueled by Fire are dropping out as well since they were a part of the original Onslaught tour over here in the USA.


there will be new bands announced soon enough.

Tough break. It will be hard to replace four bands like that all at once.

It is a tough break but all 4 bands I did not really have an interest in. So I'm looking forward to see who we get as replacements.

Yeah, bummer for Odin as it would have brought in a different crowd.
Overall though for the core audience (which I know isn't enough sometimes to keep the fest financially afloat), it isn't too much of a loss.

I know I may sound like a broken record, but what about Manilla Road?
New album in February. Make it their US CD Release party!!!

 

[Diabolik]

No to Manilla Road....too expensive plus draws in the same crowd who are already coming.

I suggested tons of bands last night. Hopefully one takes the bite.

Yep, best to look to the Bay Area.

?????????????????????????????????????????

Too expensive? Their cost has to be a fraction of what that Onslaught tour was. I do agree to a small fraction of a degree that it would pull from the same crowd. I think what it would do though is bring in all the fence sitters.

Though its a city show which means your best bet is thrash or death, which further means, don't care so go with whatever draws....

Well, I certainly hope not for a one off, but if those types of bands are on tour, then why not?

As far as thrash goes, I would suggesst Annihilator.

That band seems to be tops on many peoples lists of bands they have never seen.

nope......again you speak before knowing the facts. The Onslaught tour was still cheaper and for 4 quaility bands.

 

[Jasonic]

Fair enough......
I know what Manilla Road wanted since I was the one who contacted them.

If the Onslaught tour was cheaper than that, then Mike got a VERY good deal.
I suppose that's always the benefit of getting a tour package if it works.

I see that the Anthrax / Exodus / Municipal Waste / Holy Grail tour goes to the end of April.........

How sick would that be to see Anthrax at Reggies!

 

[Element_man]

As far as thrash goes, I would suggesst Annihilator.

If Manilla Road is gonna be expensive...

I like Onslaught a little but the rest I don't care for. Would much rather see Flotsam, Heathen, Sacrifice for my NA thrash attack. Fuck, bring over Speedwolf.

 

[Jasonic]

I have no clue about what Annihilator would cost.
I am not a fan at all. It was just a suggestion as it seems a thrash band is what is being sought.

 

[Justin G]

What about Forte?

 

[Diabolik]

I suggested a lot of the bands you are all mentioning....issue is money. Since the Onslaught was a tour package it was much cheaper getting the 4 bands at a single price instead of flying and paying a band to come out.

 

[nomisofsiman]

Annihilator I would love to see, but I could see how they could be pricey. I like some thrash, but I'm not all that knowledgeable about the underground thrash bands. Most of the bands on here I wasn't hellbent on seeing, though I think I would've liked Exumer.

 

[Jasonic]

What about Forte?

Having a pretty crappy season..........

 

[Jasonic]

I like some thrash

IE - I like Sanctuary and Forbidden

 

[Diabolik]

IE - I like Sanctuary and Forbidden

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Jasonic]

So back on topic, are we looking for bands to appeal to this guy?????????

 

[Diabolik]

exactly Jason....that is the guy mike wants at the show.
