"... Reigning Phoenix Music – RPM is proud to announce the signing of one of the most influential and relentless forces in thrash metal: Onslaught. The UK-based band, known for their unwavering aggression and decades of iconic anthems, have joined forces with the exciting new label to embark on a thrilling new chapter in their storied career...."

Founding guitarist and songwriter Nige Rockett states:

Signing with RPM is the start of an incredible new chapter for Onslaught. We’ve always pushed ourselves to create the most intense and aggressive music possible, and with RPM behind us, we’re taking things to a whole new level. Origins Of Aggression is just the beginning – get ready for absolute carnage!

Reigning Phoenix Music is equally excited about the new partnership:

Onslaught is a cornerstone of thrash metal history, and we are honoured to welcome them to the RPM family. Their legacy of pure aggression and unrelenting energy aligns perfectly with our vision, and we are eager to bring their music to new heights together.

To kick off this promising new union, Onslaught will release a special double album, titled Origins Of Aggression, celebrating not only their 40th anniversary of their debut album Power From Hell, but also the pivotal beginnings of the band and thrash metal itself. Set for release on May 23, the forthcoming offering will include staggering 22 tracks, including re-recordings of the group’s most important and defining songs from their early years as well as a collection of punk and metal covers that deeply influenced Onslaught’s conception and development. The tracklist includes songs that were originally jammed during the band’s early rehearsals and served as a huge inspiration for the members to pick up their instruments and to create the ferocious music that has shaped them into legends....Pre-order the double album exclusively from the European RPM online shop here...."

ONSLAUGHT Welcome Back Vocalist SY KEELER; “The Force From Hell” 2026 European Tour Announced​

"...UK thrash metal legends, Onslaught, are super stoked to announce the return of their legendary vocalist and fans’ favourite, Sy Keeler.

Keeler makes his comeback to the band after a 6-year hiatus and will hit the ground running as the band make their long awaited debut tour of Australia in November; his first appearance back will be at the UK’s Damnation Festival at the BEC Arena, Manchester on November 9.


Kicking off Onslaught’s live season 2026 will be their freshly announced 2026 “The Force From Hell” European run.

Guitarist 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!
