February 18, 2013, 11 years ago
UK thrashers ONSLAUGHT - who are celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2013 - have announced Friday, September 13th as the worldwide release date for their sixth studio album via AFM Records. The follow up to 2011’s Sounds Of Violence album will be once again recorded / mixed / co-produced by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Denmark, with work commencing on May 18th.
Guitarist Nige Rockett states: “It’s awesome to be making another album with Jacob Hansen, there was never gonna be anyone else considered, simply because of the way Jacob works on a personal level and the incredible dynamics of his final mixes, we just know its gonna be totally immense! The writing is 90% complete and its sounding very very cool, I’m not gonna say its louder faster heavier than anything we’ve ever done because that’s a little bit cliché these days, all I will say is that it’s very fresh, it’s old school and its ferocious, the rest we’ll leave up to you guys to decide.”
The band will headline the first Slaughterfest across Europe in October, with German cult thrashers EXUMER, M:PIRE OF EVIL and MASTER completing the bill. Fans will have the opportunity to take part on Meet & Greet events on selected dates. Complete details coming soon.
