Onslaught are an English thrash metal band from Bristol, England. Initially active from 1983 to 1991, they reformed in 2004. The band initially drew influence from the second wave punk rock bands such as Discharge and The Exploited, and then adopted a straight forward thrash metal sound.
Origins
Onslaught were formed in 1983 in Bristol, England by guitarist Nige Rockett and drummer Steve Grice. Joined by vocalist Jase Pope and bassist Paul Hill, a demo was recorded and released later that year by this line up.
Jase Pope and Paul Hill were soon to be replaced by Roge Davies and Paul Davies respectively. The subsequent line-up recorded an EP, What Lies Ahead, in 1983.More

Lyrics to Welcome To Dying :
As time slips by
I awaken from my sleep
Too blind to see
That tomorrow’s just a dream
I fear no pain
As I reach toward the sky
Immortal words
Was I really born to die
My destiny
Please release me from this hell
I’m locked inside
Cannot break the broken spell
Welcome to dying
Welcome to dying
Now say your last goodbyes
The darkness dies
But the dawn it brings no light
In life or death
Our existence is a fight
In sight of end
Let me die leave me in peace
A slave to life
Break the chains and set me free
My destiny
Please release me from this hell
I’m locked inside, locked inside
Cannot break the broken spell
Welcome to dying
Welcome to dying
Now say your last goodbyes
Death is spreading like disease
Life I cannot see
Fate a shadow blackening my soul
Life holds nothing for me now
Death so let it be
Fate is something far beyond control
Welcome to dying
Welcome to dying
Now say your last goodbyes
Before my eyes
Flashing memories of the past
I lie in wait
Could these thoughts now be my last
Time fade away
Have I wasted all these years
As air grows cold
For the end is drawing near
My destiny
Please release me from this hell
I’m locked inside, locked inside
Cannot break the broken spell
Welcome to dying
Welcome to dying
Now say your last goodbyes
