ONSLAUGHT - History-Packed 2CD/LP Origins Of Aggression Out Now; Video For "Thermonuclear Devastation Of The Planet Earth [2025 Version]" Launched

Watch "Thermonuclear Devastation Of The Planet Earth [2025 Version] HERE

English thrash metal legends ONSLAUGHT return in full force with their blistering new release, Origins Of Aggression, out now via Reigning Phoenix Music. Leading the charge is the newly recorded version of "Thermonuclear Devastation Of The Planet Earth" - a scorched-earth anthem packed with apocalyptic riffage. First appearing on the band’s debut album Power From Hell, released in 1985, the track has been re-recorded for Origins Of Aggression to mark the 40th anniversary of ONSLAUGHT’s explosive entry into the metal scene. Four decades later, its message feels just as urgent and relevant as it did back then - if not more so.

Nige Rockett comments: “‘Thermo...’ is the very first song myself and Paul Hill ever wrote for ONSLAUGHT when we formed the band in 1982 and it’s still a very important / integral part of the live show right up to this day as it never fails to induce complete chaos within the crowds. One real highlight I remember was performing it at the Katacombes [R.I.P.] venue in Montreal, Canada. I kid you not, every single person in the venue turned the place into one awesome/brutal circle pit, it was absolutely insane. We still get one massive buzz playing this song live, it has such an incredible energy and a very cool back story to go with it…!”

Origins Of Aggression is a 22-track double album that dives deep into ONSLAUGHT’s history, delivering fierce new takes on early classics alongside covers of key influences such as MOTÖRHEAD, DEAD KENNEDYS, and DISCHARGE. To support the release, ONSLAUGHT will hit the road again next week as part of a global tour, with confirmed dates across Europe, the UK, Mexico, and Australia.
