UK thrash metal pioneers Onslaught will return to North America this March for the first time in more than a decade, bringing a “Force From Hell” set that draws heavily from their seminal 1980s albums Power from Hell and The Force. The performances will feature a selection of classic Sy Keeler-era material, marking the vocalist’s return to the band.
Co-headlining the tour are cult metal veterans Warlord. Despite being based in Los Angeles, the band have never previously toured North America in their more than 45-year history. On this run, Warlord will perform their landmark album Deliver Us in its entirety, alongside additional classic-era material.
The tour follows a special appearance by both bands at Hell’s Heroes in Houston, Texas.
Onslaught guitarist Nige Rockett said: “Super stoked to be returning to the States for our first full tour in 11 years, and with Sy Keeler back at the helm it’s going to be mega. This is just part one. We’re bringing this tour to the entire USA so nobody misses out on this epic setlist. See you in the pit.”
Warlord drummer Mark Zonder added: “Although Warlord is an American band formed in 1980, in all those 45 years we never once performed live in the USA. Our first-ever show was actually in Germany in 2002. This year we will finally tour North America, performing the set fans would have seen from us back then, including the full Deliver Us mini-LP, material from the Cannons tracks, the Lost and Lonely Days EP, and more.”
