MMM
The trouble with Onslaught was always that they were good, for an British band. Somehow the UK got left behind in the mid-80's and though this is perfectly enjoyable for what it is, cutting edge it wasn't. Admittedly it was a step closer to what a Thrash band perhaps 'should' sound like, whereas the gloriously downbeat 'Power From Hell' was clearly a racket made by some Punks who'd discovered Slayer. But then again, that did give the first album a lot of it's naive charm. Not there aren't some good tunes contained herein, but nobody was really mentioning Onslaught and Slayer in the same breath, or even Onslaught and Overkill...
