Onslaught announce new album ‘Generation Antichrist’

ONSLAUGHT have announced a new album!

Titled Generation Antichrist, the upcoming album from the UK thrash veterans is the long-awaited followup to 2013’s VI and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via AFM Records.

The upcoming album was mixed by Grammy Award winning producer Daniel Bergstrand [BEHEMOTH, IN FLAMES, MESHUGGAH] at Dugout Studios in Uppsala, Sweden and will be the first album to feature new vocalist Dave Garnett who has recently replaced long term frontman Sy Keeler.

Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist Nige Rockett says, “wow, we’re stoked to finally get this new album ready to go, It’s been a huge challenge to get everything finalised in light of recent events around the the world. We’ve had to bend a few rules and do things in very unconventional ways to make it work, but we got it done.
I gotta say this is one brutal fucking record and could be a real game-changer for the future of ONSLAUGHT, it’s a very earthy and extremely raw sounding album, we held back on the technology, with natural drums all round and I think Daniel Bergstrand did an unbelievable job on the mix. Everyone really stepped up to the plate massively on Generation Antichrist but I have to single out our new vocalist Dave Garnett for smashing the vocals out of the park. It’s an unenviable task to follow in the big shoes of Sy Keeler but he’s made this album his own and in his own very cool style, I’m sure he’s gonna be hugely popular with the fans!”
