Onslaught cuts lose the grittiness that defined The Force and aim for a more accessible sound in the footsteps of Metallica. Newcomer Steve Grimmett unleashes his inner NWOBHM and belts out a powerful, melodic vocal performance that brings the hooks of these tunes to greater heights than before. The differentiation from their previous works are obvious from the start with the title track with catchy riffing and infectious vocal hooks, but "Lightning War" and "Power Play" are the thrashiest tunes here with the former bearing an exceptional chorus and vocal performance and the latter throwing in some hardcore elements. "Blood Upon The Ice" and "Shellshock" display Metallica-esque riffs with melodic vocals effectively, and the "Let There Be Rock" cover, despite a faster tempo, is quite spot-on and may be as good as the original. "Welcome to Dying" has nice guitar solos and an exceptional vocal performance but really would've benefitted from trimming which is the album's biggest problem: length. At nearly an hour an only seven true songs, some of the riffs and instrumental sections go on longer than they should without being backed up by substantial variety. That being said, it's an enjoyable album that sits comfortably between a 3.5 and a 4.

Awesome vocals! This could've been a cool album, but all the songs are like twice as long as they need to be. Five minute long intro of random ambient noises? Sheesh! I bet their fucking sound guy was sitting in the studio after making it like "Yeah, what a cool soundscape I've created..." No bitch.
