Sy Keeler and Steve Grice from the British thrash metal band ONSLAUGHT have been interviewed by Steve Yabsley at BBC radio in Bristol. The pair talk about the reunion, touring and of course the reactions in the UK about their new single 'Bomber' featuring MOTÖRHEAD and SODOM members.

The interview (found here) starts at 0:31:00 min.

Onslaught are streaming the aforementioned cover of 'Bomber' and their new track, 'The Sound Of Violence' on their MySpace page at this location.

Onslaught will release the double single 'The Sound of Violence'/'Bomber' on December 17th through AFM Records. The track taken from the forthcoming album Sounds Of Violence is coupled with a cover version of the classic MOTÖRHEAD track 'Bomber'.

Onslaught guitarist Nige Rockett recently commented about the 'Bomber' cover: "Motörhead have always been a huge influence on Onslaught and our relationship goes back a long long way. So when we decided to have some fun and do a cover song in the studio, this track immediately sprang to mind, especially as its relative to the theme of the new album. We've given it a pretty aggressive Onslaught slant and thrashed it up little, but still very much retaining the original identity of the song. To make things a little more interesting, we thought we would like to add some very special guests into the mix. We asked Phil (Campbell) if he would like to come and thrash out with us and play some guitar on the track - the answer was an undoubted 'Yes'. Things we're sounding pretty cool in rehearsal but just missing that tiny piece of magic/the icing on the cake. Then Phil came in and played that awesome riff in his style and everything just fell right into place. We also had the idea that our friend Tom Angelripper (Sodom) would sound perfect sharing the vocal duties with our own Mr Keeler, we knew Tom Was in the studio recording the new Sodom record so the timing was perfect. We sent over the tracks and Tom did the rest, he laid down some great fucking vocals as you will hear and its really added something special to the final result. As you can tell really I'm buzzing about all this... it's an exciting time to be in Onslaught right now."
