Die seit vier Jahrzehnten umtriebigen UK Thrasher ONSLAUGHT teilen heute ihr Motörhead Cover `Iron Fist`als Video, um auf ihr, am 23.Mai kommendes, Studioalbum „Origins Of Aggression“ aufmerksam zu machen. On der thrashige Sound der ONSLAUGHT Version des Klassikers zum Song passt, entscheidet ihr.
ONSLAUGHT schreiben dazu:
“What true metalhead doesn’t love MOTÖRHEAD? And we weren’t any different. In the early beginnings, I was still very much a novice on guitar and it was Lemmy, Phil, and Eddie that really drove our band in the metal direction from our hardcore punk roots. Myself, I actually learnt the whole „Live At Hammersmith“ album – including all the solos – and it greatly improved my personal playing and knowledge of the guitar, it was a real learning curve for ONSLAUGHT and we would always jam the tracks at rehearsal and even sometimes live. So, the reason we chose ‚Iron Fist,‘ apart from it being one of their heaviest, most aggressive songs, we got to tour with MOTÖRHEAD on the „Orgasmatron“ tour in Europe 1987. We arrived at the Zurich venue, the first show for us, just as MOTÖRHEAD were about to start soundcheck. Lemmy struts out on the stage, stamps his foot four times and they crash into ‚Iron Fist’… WTAF… IT BLEW US ALL CLEAN AWAY… I’d never witnessed anything like it and that moment will never be forgotten and changed our lives as a band.“
Bereits am 29. Mai gehen ONSLAUGHT zur 40. Geburtstagesfeier ihres “Power From Hell” Albums auch bei uns auf Tour. Die Livetermine, bei denen CRYPTOSIS als Support fungieren, findet ihr hier.

Lyrics:
Dark night, nothing to see
Invisible hand in front of me
Scared to death, there’s someone near
Scared to move but you can’t stay here
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebite kiss
Devil’s grip, the iron fist
Flying horse don’t make a sound
Flying hooves don’t touch the ground
Walk in circle, lose your track
Can’t go on but you can’t go back
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, you can’t resist
Devil’s grip, the iron fist
Moon eclipse and you know why
Ghost rider in the sky
Beast of evil, devil’s hound
Tooth and claw they pull you down
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the great white kiss
Devils grip the Iron Fist
