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.
Onslaught’s contribution to the thrash metal genre cannot be overstated: from their debut album Power From Hell [1985], which is being honoured with this new release, to their celebrated performances across the globe, they remain an untouchable force in the world of heavy metal. With over 40 years of history, the quintet have steadily continued to evolve, delivering relentless riffs and neck-breaking anthems, and cementing their place as pioneers of the British thrash scene.
Alongside Origins Of Aggression, fans can brace themselves for an electrifying preview of what’s ahead with the release of “Iron Fist”, Onslaught’s crushing take on the Motörhead classic, which will arrive on March 27. Pre-save the single here.
