ONSLAUGHT - The Force CD

Limited edition of 300 copies .

Superfluous to mention that the album does not deliver the soundtrack for the next meeting of the Optimists Anonymous. "The Force" is based on fatalism, destruction and darkness. No song of this monolithic record will warm the hearts of fun-loving people. Among other things, the razor-sharp sound prevents any kind of positive feelings. Especially slightly weaker tracks such as "Thrash 'til the Death" profit from the crystal clear mix. (By the way, the emphasis in the preceding sentence is on "slightly".) Everything is well balanced with the result that there is nothing to grumble. 30 years after the release, we can justifiably claim that the mix is stainless and timeless at the same time and the same applies to the seven tracks. No doubt, "The Force" represents the best work of Onslaught that they released during the first part of their eventful career.
