Onslaught Gearing Up For Shows

Onslaught has joined forces with Proximity Productions Management, with guitarist Nige Rockett commenting:

“We’ve been to Asia several times in recent years and it’s clearly an expanding market where Metal music is very much on the rise. It would be awesome to increase the ‘Onslaught‘ profile in the region and I think working with ‘Proximity Productions’ will definitely give us a huge advantage.
