UK thrash metal legends ONSLAUGHT are pleased to announce that their legendary vocalist, fan favorite Sy Keeler, has rejoined the band. Keeler returns after a six-year hiatus and will be back on the mic in time for their first ever Australian tour, while he will celebrate his comeback in advance at Damnation Festival (UK) on November 9th. The year 2026 promises to be no less exciting for ONSLAUGHT, as they recently announced their "The Force From Hell" tour through Europe. All dates and ticket info can be found below!
Guitarist Nige Rockett comments: "Wow, it's just incredible to have Sy back in ONSLAUGHT. He's always been considered 'THE' ONSLAUGHT singer, so we're sure the fans will welcome him back with open arms. We as a band are in a promising position after the successful release of "Origins Of Aggression", which is now crowned by Sy's return. Our followers will be more than happy with this news, I'm sure."
Sy comments: "This came as a bit of a surprise to me! 'Sy, would you want to be part of the band again? Sure, of course, I've missed the whole thing a lot.' Almost six years after my last performance with ONSLAUGHT, I can't wait for us to start our third chapter together. I'm looking forward to seeing all the familiar faces again, meeting new friends, but also opening a few beers with my bandmates. Metalheads, see you on tour soon!"
Continuing the huge success of their ongoing "Power From Hell" tour and their career-defining double album "Origins Of Aggression" (May 23, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music), the band will once again wreak havoc in the pits as part of their upcoming "The Force From Hell" tour. In early 2026, ONSLAUGHT will once again deliver the ultimate thrash full-service to 22 cities across the continent, based on tracks from their iconic debut "Power From Hell" as well as tracks from their album "The Force", whose 40th anniversary is coming up next year.
ONSLAUGHT are already excited: "We would love to get started right away after the success of our "Power From Hell" tour. Combining the best of "Power From Hell" and "The Force", which will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2026, will make for a monster of a setlist and especially make up for all those who unfortunately missed our previous shows... Let there be thrash - we're waiting for you in the pit!"
