Onsetcold debut album out now!!!
UK-based Onsetcold (recently signed to union black Artist Management) are a 5 piece extreme metal band from the UK who push the musical boundaries beyond that of the more regimented forms of metal.
They've performed in a number of cities around the UK including Glasgow, Nottingham, Manchester & London and are renowned for their aggressive and brutal stage assault. Having been involved with Terrorizer and Zero Tolerance magazines as well as promoters, venues and booking agents from the early stages, Onsetcold were able to make progress on the metal circuit and in doing so spread the name and concept to as many people as possible, predominantly in the UK.
In their 3rd year as a band, Onsetcold signed with WormHoleDeath (a sub-label of Aural Music) and successfully recorded their self-titled debut album in Bologna, Italy. With stunning cover artwork from Darkwave Art (The Breathing Process, My Dying Bride, Carcass, Deicide) and mastered by Riccardo Pasini (Ephel Duath) the album takes their uniquely brutal brand of Metal to a new level of intensity.

Re: union black Metal Cursemas Advent Calendar 2007
We want Irish bands to be a part of what Union Black stands for, which is a United Kingdom of Metal, without all the political and territorial bollocks getting in the way. We are all Metal, so lets get the music together and unite our scene!
Besides, Mourning Beloveth are a top doom band!!!
