British thrash legends Onslaught have recently announced their first ever US tour! For a band that has been around since 1983 and has been a staple of the thrash metal scene since its inception, it is amazing that they have never come to the shores of the red white and blue. With the release of their newest album, Sounds of Violence, Onslaught have finally made the decision to reach a new audience. Released back in January, the album has gained massive amounts of critical praise as well as fan praise in the underground. And this writer is very excited that the very first stop on the tour is in Seattle, we are hoping to start the tour off right and show the band what American fans are made of!
Brand new traditional metal beasts Ghost have announced a US tour as well. They were supposed to be a supporting band to Enslaved back in the fall but were forced to drop off the tour. Lucky for us they are coming back with a headlining slot. With their hypnotic sound and a live presence shrouded in mystery, this is looking to be one of the most anticipated tours coming to the US in a long time.
