ONSLAUGHT Singer Undergoes Surgery

May 5, 2007

ONSLAUGHT vocalist Sy Keeler has undergone a successful surgery to re-attach the retina of his left eye and is recovering well at home. The detachment occured at the soundcheck of Leeds Rio's during the first leg of the reunited British thrashers' "Killing Peace" tour, forcing the group to cancel the remainder of the U.K. shows.

Barring any further complications, ONSLAUGHT will be ready to head out on the road again in the next three weeks.

ONSLAUGHT is currently looking into rescheduling the cancelled dates for later in the year.

ONSLAUGHT's new album, "Killing Peace", was released in Europe on March 5 via Candlelight Records, "Killing Peace" was recorded at Backstage studio in Derbyshire, England with producer Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, MACHINE HEAD, ARCH ENEMY, NEVERMORE).

ONSLAUGHT's current lineup includes Sy Keeler (vocals),Nige Rockett (guitars),Steve Grice (drums),James Hinder (bass) and the group's latest addition, guitarist Alan Jordan (ex-MIRROR MIRROR, FRANKENSTEIN).
