Onslaught - Metal-R.US

Onslaught, De Kade, Zaandam, October 30th

The flow of concerts never stops in my agenda. I love going to shows, but that's not unknown here. Cannibal Corpse was epic last Tuesday, now Onslaught would fill my vision. At first, a long day (awoke an hour before my alarm clock, had no map where to get my water samples so I had to tour Hilversum and Blaricum in vain, had to rush with my surface water samples to the laboratory, had a vague appointment with the director of the company, missed a train back home) and on top of that, I had a spare ticket because of Tom's cornea. In the train I called nearly everybody I could think of if they were interested... girlfriends, kids, banks, family, everybody seemed to be busy. In the meantime Hjalmar got me into buying a Lamb of God / Job for a Cowboy / Between the Buried and Me - ticket, but alas, he could not come tonight. Sigh. Sven wasn't a last resort, but I was glad he would join me. He had seen Paradox before, I had seen Onslaught before. But coming to De Kade, we soon found out Paradox would not play as the singer was sick? No way to check that of course, but Coen had found a German band willing to play: Centaurus-A. Check CENTAURUS-A [30.10.Zaandam NL/31.10. Kerkrade NL] on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads if you can stand it, they have an excellent drummer, pounding bass and a Malevolent Creation lookalike and Malevolent Creation soundalike for a singer. But the guitarist... what the hell do you want, man? Undeniable, you can play, but why change from bluesy, funky to Yngwie-y solos in three songs? Maybe Crash will like this band. The fourth song was enough, another completely different style and I decided to barfly.

Onslaught... yeah that's sentiment of my youth. They released the infamous The Force in 1985, had it on tape, played the tape to smithereens, never thought to buy this. Then they released Killing Peace in 2007 and they're totally back! First time I saw them they were cramped between vicious black and death metal bands on a No Mercy tour, but they enjoyed it and so did I. Now they were in a venue with only 80 paying visitors (I checked the entrance dude) but none the less, they blew everybody away. Their thrash is still shredding my eardrums as I type this, their http://www.myspace.com/onslaughtuk is filled with killer songs. All and all the band plus about half the audience totally freaked out, this is the set list (thanks to guitarist Andy Rosser Davies; it's somewhat different that the scribbles I made

)
- Killing Peace
- Let There Be Death
- Angels of Death
- Destroyer
- Metal Forces
- Fight with the Beast
- Seeds of Hate
- Shellshock
- Flame of the Antichrist
- Demoniac
- Burn
- Power From Hell
Not on the set list, but as encores: Contract in Blood and Thermonuclear Devastation. This was a great show! Pity the ones that had other things on their minds... I just ordered The Force and Power From Hell..

On the way home Sven told me his bands Deathcore, Spewpipe and Mathilda will do several shows, I'll be a roadie, fan club president, beer guzzler, groupie divider whatever. More info if there's info to share. Thanks for driving, mate!

stach
