Read MoreRockett from Onslaught on the album ‘VI’ plus UK dates
“Even at this early, early stage,” says guitarist Rockett, “everyone who has heard “VI” has different stand out tracks…. “Chaos Is King” is a very worthy opening track for an Onslaught album, right up there with “Let There Be Death” and “Born For War”. Definitely the most aggressive song we have ever written, it’s a real relentless thrash out from start to finish that really pushed the boundaries of our playing to the max. It’s actually a prequel to the track “Code Black” on the last album lyrically. If you listen to the intro of “Code Black”, you will hear the end of “Chaos Is King” … There was a lot of forward planning involved in this.”
“Children Of The Sand” is ONSLAUGHT’s biggest experiment to date without question. Lyrically it reflects the fragile situation in the Middle East, which is inherently caused by religion and the indoctrination it breeds. The music paints a very dark, eastern sounding backdrop for the lyrics and we’ve actually incorporated a ‘real string section’ and ‘female vocals’ to enhance the whole theme!” “Dead Man Walking” is another different kind of track for ONSLAUGHT. It has this kind of brutal and ferocious Judas Priest vibe to it. It’s probably the most simplistic song on the album, but you can feel the hate as soon as the first note kicks in..!”
