South American release of the fourth full-length album by cult British Thrash Metal Band.
This is not just a comeback. It's total annihilation! It's catchy, melodic, aggressive, atmospheric and has just about everything that need an ideal Metal album. Fifteen years of silence hasn't stopped Onslaught from returning to their destructive invasion of Thrash madness. The relentless strike of guitar domination is formulated by Alan Jordan and Nige Rockett's unlimited arsenal of memorable Thrash riffs and roasting solos. The solos are usually energetic, fast and are basically what you'd expect in a Thrash album, though at times they do go into a more melodic, yet eerie mode. The riffs sound fresh and crisp, yet they adapt to Onslaught's Speedy Thrash roots easily and sound great when played. Drummer Steve Grice performs on the same impeccable plateau of mastery that his admirable members shine upon. Grice's pure percussion talent lights up this record when the dexterous drummer applies hyper-speed double bass kicks or unearthly fills to this awe-inspiring model of Metal. Sy Keeler's grand return to Onslaught is nothing short of extraordinary. The energetic vocalist follows the classic Thrash singing style by using aggressive vocal tones and rapid lyric ejections. There are several significant vocal junctures throughout this record, from high pitched screams to low pitched growls, this guy has some insane vocals!
One thing that makes this album stand out from most other Thrash albums is the eerie atmosphere. Everything is crystal clear, yet it doesn’t sound over produced. Nothing gets too high or low in the mix. The album sounds very raw at times but without making the listener struggle to make out what's going on. Musically speaking, this is a total Thrash offensive! Isn't it amazing how Onslaught can still impress after being away from the Metal scene for such a long time? "Killing Peace" isn't just one of Onslaught's best releases, but a golden example of how comeback albums should sound!! This is a must for Thrash fans, Onslaught lovers, and those who are interested in this legendary band!! Highly recommended!!!

American Edition of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary British Thrash Metal band.
Onslaught, led by founding member Nige Rockett, is primed to set the world on fire once again with one of the most ferocious Thrash Metal albums ever made!
Onslaught have become one of the bands that are now synonymous with the brilliance and endurance of today’s Thrash Metal movement, and it is always to the delight of fans and critics around the world when the band announces the release of a new record. Time to prepare once again!!
All fans of classic and modern Thrash Metal are going to be truly impressed with the high quality of the music found in Onslaught’s new effort. “Generation Antichrist” is the most welcome case of unsolicited brutality. "Generation Antichrist" is a killer modern Thrash Metal album, refreshing to hear the band on top form, especially after seven years since the last album. The band is more energetic than ever, with a solid collection of slamming heavy songs. Theirs is a sound that could not exist were it not for their past, yet they still make sure to keep up with the times in terms of tone and production.
This is band's first album not to feature Sy Keeler on vocals since 1989's "In Search of Sanity", and the first one to feature new vocalist Dave Garnett, as well as two new members, James Perry (drums) and Wayne Dorman (guitar). The reinvigorated old school Thrash Metal platoon simply kicking some serious ass throughout the entire "Generation Antichrist", with newcomer David bringing a huge dosage of adrenaline to the band with his raspy vocals and, therefore, pointing to a bright future in their already awesome career.
If you like your Metal music brutal and extreme, then this is definitely the album for you!!
As well as for all fans of Slayer, Sodom, Kreator, Metallica, Annihilator, Suicidal Angels, Anthrax, Destruction, and Necronomicon!!!
Deluxe Edition includes mini-poster + sticker.
