Presumably, Onslaught didn't actually perform at places where dead animals are processed into meat. Although a screaming abattoir might
provide the horrifically ideal live atmosphere for catching a show from
these veteran U.K. thrash-metal savages.
Presenting ample video and audio proof of life, the violent and
energetic AFM Records release Live At The Slaughterhouse draws from two
highly visceral, staggeringly brilliant gigs in Bristol and London to
comprise a package that completely erases the memory of the Neil Turbin
debacle of 2014 and smacks of Venom's blackened anger, while siphoning
off gallons of Slayer's crazed intensity. Throwing around big, heavy
hooks like brawny longshoreman even while thrashing about everywhere as
if in the throes of the nastiest demonic possession, Onslaught blows the
doors off their hinges here. Vocalist Sy Keeler rages with Satanic fury
throughout, singing of "spitting blood in the face of God" as the rest
of Onslaught explodes and engages in the predatory tempo shifts of a
seething "Killing Peace." Furious charges "Chaos Is King" and "Let There
Be Death" set a scorching pace, before the exotic wailing of "Children
Of The Sand" signals the thrilling rise of a massive, cinematic epic
that comes on like ... well, a surging sand storm gathering strength.
The propulsive, sulfuric boils, venomous tonality and diabolically
clever leads emanating from the ferociously feral guitars of Nige
Rockett and Leigh Chambers crack the whip on vigorous, blazing sonic
rampages "The Sound Of Violence" and "Rest In Pieces," while "66
'Fucking' 6" rides a dark, ominous melody and the creepy music-box intro
to "Destroyer Of Worlds" seems to perfectly build hair-raising
anticipation for the riot of hell-spawned, warring riffs that awaits.
And there's a tinge of regret in Keeler's voice as he ushers in "In
Search of Sanity" by disclosing he hasn't sung the song with the band
since the late '80s, but after Onslaught relentlessly and fiercely
pounds it into smoldering rubble, the wait seems well worth it. There
really is no rest for the wicked.
