ONSLAUGHT: Producer For New Album Revealed

August 3, 2010

British thrashers ONSLAUGHT have tapped acclaimed Danish producer Jacob Hansen (RAUNCHY, MERCENARY, VOLBEAT, HEAVEN SHALL BURN) to helm the recording nad mixing sessions for the band's new studio album, tentatively due before the end of the year via Germany's AFM Records. The CD will be recorded and mixed at Hansen Studio in Ribe, Denmark starting on August 16.

Commented ONSLAUGHT guitarist Nige Rockett: "We're so stoked to be working with Jacob Hansen on the new album.

"Jacob has done some stunning work in the past, [and] his production skills are really gonna suit the style of the new album. His mixes are so heavy and lively, which is exactly what we are looking for. It'll be real cool to capture the live energy of the band in these recordings.

"Steve [Grice, drums] and Sy [Keeler, vocals] are leaving for the studio immediately after our appearance at [U.K.'s] Bloodstock Festival, where we should be, if all goes to plan, debuting a track entitled 'Born For War', taken from the new album… It's a violent beast — very fast and heavy, with lots of twists and turns."

Added Jacob Hansen: "This is one of the more exciting productions this year for me!

"Since [ONSLAUGHT's] very first albums ('Power From Hell' and 'The Force'),which made quite an impression on me back in my teenage years, I've loved this dark and heavy band.

"Working with these guys is gonna be awesome!"

An audio sample of the pre-production/demo version of the song "Born For War" can be heard at the band's MySpace profile.

ONSLAUGHT recorded its performance at the Damnation Festival on November 22, 2008 in Leeds, U.K. for a live CD, "Live Damnation", which was released on July 20, 2009 through Candlelight Records.

An e-card for the album can be accessed at this location.

ONSLAUGHT's last studio album, "Killing Peace", was released in March 2007 via Candlelight Records. The CD was recorded at Backstage studio in Derbyshire, England with producer Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, MACHINE HEAD, ARCH ENEMY, NEVERMORE).
