Onslaught started as a hardcore punk band and released several demos in this style
before shifting to their more well-known thrash metal approach.
The band's line-up shuffled considerably following Power From Hell.
Bassist Jason Stallard became the second guitarist and Paul Mahoney
took over playing bass to allow Sy Keeler to take his place as vocalist.
After signing to major label imprint London Records, Onslaught were coerced into replacing Sy Keeler with Steve Grimmett. After In Search of Sanity was released, the band was dropped. Tony O'Hora came in as vocalist for a brief period before the band parted ways in 1991.
Reformed in 2004. Nige Rockett has been performing rhythm guitar only
since the reformation despite playing all lead guitar parts in the
band's early days.

This Version is a Mispress. The printed Tracklist is taken from the
original release, but on the CD the Tracks 1+2 are merged and Track 8 is
split into Part 1 and Part 2. Also, the CD lists "Damnation" and "Onslaught (Power from Hell)" as separate tracks even though they aren't, so the actual order of the Tracks is like
this:
01. Damnation/Onslaught (Power From Hell) 5:21
02. Thermonuclear Devastation 1:30
03. Skullcrusher I 4:39
04. Lord Of Evil 7:06
05. Death Metal 3:42
06. Angels Of Death 3:21
07. The Devil's Legion [Part 1] 2:17
08. The Devil's Legion [Part 2] 1:49
09. Steel Meets Steel 3:55
