Onslaught is an australian-based demo group, seemingly mostly focused on
releasing some of the world's best diskmags, like "Vandalism News" and
"Domination". Jazzcat and Vengance are the leaders. The group was formed in
1995.
1995 - Dodger (previously in Dytec) and Shok'Ray (inofficial member,
previously in Sorcerer, Dreamlover...) left for Hitmen around september
while Pete joined Chromance as a second group. Homeboy and Stake decided to
end their double memberships in Chromance, and took swedish sysop Joyride
('HIGHWAY') with them. Baze (swap, formerly of Illusion) got kicked out for
inactivity. The cooperation with Hardcore ended late this year. After
getting the board DEAD ZONE from Excess around september, the board was
unfortunately blacklisted shortly after.
1996 - The Unholy joined in january (but only as a second group; Demonix
will remain his focus) in order to help the group fix their releases. Also
in january, Ramirez and Shocker from their previous partners Hardcore
joined, and Bizarre got caught for abusing a german vmb, and will reportedly
face a fine of no less than $20.000!
2003 - Deev contributed a picture for Oxyron's "Attitude #5" [04/03]
intro part.
Onslaught Tools #1 (1995, early, Tool compilation).
code: Shades, gfx: Cupid/XTC^Across (logo), music: n/a, editor: Vengeance.
review: This was apparently thrown together in an evening, and given that
they've done a damn good job of it. Sure, the menu is simple, but it looks
good and it gets the job done. And that logo sure is quite OK. And most
importantly, they offer a varied and interesting selection of tools. Not
all of them are the very latest, but in most cases they are some of the
best for their work. It's quite obvious they've used these tools
themselves, and included the best - from their own viewpoint. Nice.
