British thrash masters ONSLAUGHT will cross the Atlantic for
their first ever tour of the continent in March and April!
The 20-date trek gets underway in Seattle on March 19th and
tramples its way across the continent ending in Brooklyn on April 7th. The
band's exclusive set for the tour spans their full back catalog, including Power
from Hell, The Force, In Search of Sanity, Killing Peace and their
lauded 2011 release Sounds of Violence. ONSLAUGHT will
have direct support from all ex-Venom supergroup M-pire Of Evil for the entire
tour, as well as Evil Dead on a slew of the West Coast dates.
Stated founding ONSLAUGHT guitarist Nige
Rockett on the upcoming invasion: "Good Morning America... Here we are at
very long last! ONSLAUGHT are super fucking stoked to announce
our début tour of the mighty USofA and Canada. It's been one hell of a long
time coming, but we are now finally bringing the Scream For Violence tour to
North America for 20 shows in March and April 2012.Just as we did in Europe,
the UK and South America, we'll be thrashing it up with a brutal 90-minute set
featuring tracks off all five ONSLAUGHT studio albums. We
can't fucking wait..."
