After three decades of waiting, British thrash masters ONSLAUGHT will cross the Atlantic for their first ever tour of the continent in March and April. The complete touring schedule is listed below (newly announced shows in bold), and can also be seen in the flyer above.

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…”

Old news, also 5 min from my house in MTL

They said screw you NE? Was there a viable offer from a NE venue that fit in the schedule that they turned down? If not, stop being a cum-gurgling niggerlover and go to NY like a man.

I can't wait till Aril leaves at midnight.

Might consider the Montreal date. Otherwise, the NYC gig is the same night as Midnight/ Villains.

hm...

I'd love to see Onslaught but I've accepted it will probably never happen.

ive read their live shows of late are terrible...

which ex-Venom members are in that opening band with the worst name ever?

the recent string of older bands getting back together to tour is stupid, this being one of the many reasons. they had several great releases in the early to mid 80s, then put out a shitty album in 89, and now we're supposed to be excited because they hopped on the band-wagon of bands who realized that metal was big enough now that they could tour, even though they're 20 years past their prime?

it says right on the flyer Mantas and Demolition Man

Jeff "Mantas" Dunn:

Is that a fanny pack?

i actually heard the venom classics were good.

regardless looking forward to onslaught
