ONSLAUGHT Report Back From Bang Your Head!!! Festival
June 30, 2008, 16 years ago
UK metallers ONSLAUGHT have issued the following update:
"What another awesome weekend we've had in Germany at Bang Your Head!!! Festival... Huge crowd, great weather and 2 days of pure fuckin metal!!We hit the stage at just after midday on Saturday which was by far the heavier day of the two, with JUDAS PRIEST, SAXON, OBITUARY and TANKARD sharing the billing with us.
All our apprehensions about playing so early in the day soon disappeared as the Onslaught intro rang around the festival, the arena was packed and ready to thrash. Sadly, we were limited to a 40 min. set which meant we had to cut some songs, always a tough decision but it was still real intense.:) "
The band performed the following setlist: 'Killing Peace', 'Let There Be Death', 'Angels Of Death', 'Destroyer Of Worlds', 'Metal Forces', 'Planting Seeds Of Hate', 'Demoniac', 'Burn'.
"The BYH!!! crowd were so fucking cool, lots of banging and lots of noise, we were given such a great welcome and response which made the 16 hour drive to Balingen very worthwhile... 40 mins are over in the snap of a string and we're off to celebrate at the bars, catch up with friends and get wrecked for the rest of the day. Haha.And what a fuckin day it was!
Finally we would like to send a massive thank you to everyone at the BYH!!! Festival organisation for inviting us to play this great event and for making us all so welcome during our stay.
Danke."
As previously reported, Onslaught recently made the following announcement: "Due to popular demand, Back on Black records have recently released four Onslaught albums on vinyl (coloured) complete with gatefold sleeves.. The albums available are: Killing Peace (2007), Power From Hel (1985)l, The Force (1986) and one purely for the fans of the embryonic Onslaught, a collection of early hardcore punk demos from 1983 entitled Shadow Of Death. Time to dig out the decks folks."
