ONSLAUGHT Signs Publishing Deal With ENORM MUSIC
October 18, 2010British thrashers ONSLAUGHT have signed a deal with Enorm Music, the publishing arm of ICS, which organizes the Wacken Open Air festival. The band's fifth album, "Sounds Of Violence", is tentatively due in early 2011 via Germany's AFM Records. The follow-up to 2007's "Killing Peace" was recorded and mixed at Hansen Studio in Ribe, Denmark with acclaimed Danish producer Jacob Hansen (RAUNCHY, MERCENARY, VOLBEAT, HEAVEN SHALL BURN).
Commented ONSLAUGHT guitarist Nige Rockett: "This is a huge day for the future of ONSLAUGHT and we're so stoked to have landed a publishing deal with such a prestigious and important company in the world of metal music. These guys have a knowledge and vision that is second to none. To be part of the ICS/Wacken family is a massive boost for the band on the verge of releasing our new album, 'Sounds Of Violence'."
Regarding the direction of ONSLAUGHT's new material, Nige previously said, "Musically and lyrically, this is definately the most brutal and intense ONSLAUGHT album to date. It's full of machine-gun riffs, ferocious drum patterns and some pretty fucked up lyrical content.
"This album was never meant to be pretty. It's not a concept album by any measure but there's a definite theme to the whole package, right through from the sleeve design to the music and onto the words;, it's violence all the way.
"There's a lot of hate in 'Sounds of Violence' and a whole lot of reality in there, too, much of it straight from the heart."
An audio sample of the pre-production/demo version of the new ONSLAUGHT 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.

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).
