We also have regular visits to specialists coming up during the next 6 months.<br \/>\nTherefore at this time I am having to think of my family first and sadly I am unable to be away in the Americas for the duration intended..&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Onslaught guitarist Nige Rockett adds:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re extremely gutted that Sy cannot make this tour and of course we wish Sy\u2019s family all the best in this difficult time, we are positive things will improve in the very near future and look forward to having Sy with us back real soon&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a really tough decision for us to make also, but Sy was very supportive that we take out a replacement vocalist to make this tour happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So much work had already been carried out by our management, booking agents, and promoters behind the scenes. It would have been unfair to let our team down, the other bands down and most importantly our fans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On a positive note, It\u2019s gonna be awesome to have Neil Turbin on board for the tour, for me he\u2019s always been one of the best Thrash Metal vocalists out there no question, his work on the Anthrax album \u2018Fistful of Metal\u2019 was simply amazing and I believe he\u2019s one of the only guys in the genre who could step into Sy\u2019s shoes. I think It brings a unique edge to this tour and I\u2019m sure the fans will really dig what they hear..!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Onslaught &#038; Artillery &#8220;Thrash Invasion&#8221; U.S.\/Canada Tour dates:<\/p>\n<p>10\/23 Brooklyn, New York, Saint Vitus<br \/>\n10\/24 Cambridge, Massachusetts, Middle East Club<br \/>\n10\/25 Long Branch, New Jersey, The Brighton Bar<br \/>\n10\/26 Peterborough, New Hampshire, The Wreck Room<br \/>\n10\/28 Chicago, Illinois, Reggie&#8217;s<br \/>\n10\/29 Indianapolis, Indiana, The Headquarters<br \/>\n10\/30 Lakewood, Ohio, The Foundry<br \/>\n10\/31 Columbus, Ohio, The Alrosa Villa<br \/>\n11\/1 Rochester, New York, The Bug Jar<br \/>\n11\/2 Trenton, New Jersey, The Backstage at The Championship Bar<br \/>\n11\/3 Springfield, Virginia, Empire<br \/>\n11\/4 Hartford, Connecticut, Webster Underground<br \/>\n11\/5 Albany, New York, Bogie&#8217;s<br \/>\n11\/6 Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, La Salle Multi<br \/>\n11\/7 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Hard Luck<br \/>\n11\/8 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Mavericks<br \/>\n11\/9 Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Le Petit Campus<br \/>\n11\/11 Kingston, Canada, Mansion<br \/>\n11\/12 Detroit, Michigan, The Token Lounge<br \/>\n11\/13 Cudahy, Wisconsin, The Metal Grill<br \/>\n11\/14 Spring Lake Park, Minnesota, Pov&#8217;s 65<br \/>\n11\/15 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Zoo Cabaret<br \/>\n11\/16 Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Palomino&#8217;s<br \/>\n11\/17 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, The Pawn Shop<br \/>\n11\/18 Vancouver, B.C., Canada, Red Room<br \/>\n11\/19 Seattle, Washington, Studio Seven<br \/>\n11\/20 Spokane, Washington, The Hop<br \/>\n11\/21 Victoria, B.C., Canada, The V-Lounge<br \/>\n11\/22 Portland, Oregon, Tonic Lounge<br \/>\n11\/23 San Francisco, California, The DNA Lounge<br \/>\n11\/24 Anaheim, California, Orange County Music Hall<br \/>\n11\/25 Mesa, Arizona, Club Red<br \/>\n11\/26 Hollywood, California, Whisky a Go Go<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: metalunderground<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.onslaughtfromhell.com\/\">http:\/\/www.onslaughtfromhell.com\/<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ONSLAUGHT vocalist Sy Keeler will sit out the band&#8217;s upcoming &#8220;THRASH INVASION TOUR&#8221; of the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41082"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41082\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
