Introducing


Hello my friends, another new chapter in Domination. Introducing is a chapter designed to present a group to the scene. Each issue will cover group member infos, the group priorities and ambitions and anything else the group desires to be published about them. Crew leaders and organizers may send a sheet to the Editorial address, if they wish their group to be represented in this chapter.

First up, i've decided, because of the youth of this chapter to present my own group. Next issue will cover a new group or even several, enjoy.



Group: Onslaught

Date: 16/10/1995 (status date)


Story: This crack and demo group was formed early 1995. As a relatively new group, they have had major changes over the last few months with the group memberstatus, only with the core of the group always remaining the same.

The illegal section, has seperate priorities from its brother, the demo label. Onslaught organizers assemble calling cards for modem trading members, with 3 boards, one in Denmark and two in the USA. The suppliers of the group cover different fields… Originals, mail originals, calling cards.

The legal section is quite in the shadow at the moment, with only small releases showing their actual existance to the scene. But the reasoning behind this is because of a forthcoming megademo which has had many parts completed already. Also music collections and some single file demos are in the pipeline.

On the magazine side of things, their main magazine made by 'Onslaught Design' is the popular and well established 'Vandalism News' which was created in 1991 by Vengeance, the main editor. They also have another magazine, which is the one your reading now. However of course released independently.

Let's take a look over the next page at the 'Onslaught' and 'Onslaught Design' member stats, baring in mind that these two sections make the one group. But have different members and organizers.
