Onslaught
This UK thrash quintet, originally conceived as a punk/metal hybrid, was formed in Bristol in 1983 by guitarist Nige Rockett and drummer Steve Grice. With the addition of vocalist Paul Mahoney and bass player Jason Stallard, they recorded Power From Hell on the independent Cor label in 1985. This opened the doors to a contract with Under One Flag, the thrash subsidiary of Music For Nations. The Force saw the band expand to a quintet, with the arrival of new vocalist Sy Keeler; Mahoney was relegated to bass and Stallard switched to rhythm guitar. The album was heavily reliant on the styles of Slayer, Metallica and Anthrax, with little original input.
