Overkill - "Ironbound"

[Melisan]

I had long overlooked these guys as not having much different to offer the thrash scene. So when I saw Blabbermouth give them a 9.5, I said ok, let's give it a try. One song is on their MySpace page, I'll let you guess how I sampled the rest.

Holy freakin' hell. This is some fantastic old school thrash. Incredible. Not a single throw-away in the lot. Blitz manages some amazing screams for a guy pushing 50 (eat your heart out, Mr. Araya).

Seriously, check this album out. It's killer. It finally got me to stop playing Slayer's latest.

they are one old skool band..their releases remind me of Motorhead and AC/DC...you know what your getting. And I'm saying that as a good thing.

 

[Doodoobubbachuck]

I hear Motorhead n Accept

 

[HobbesDawg]

Man, I'd love to hit the show in Vegas... and the Slayer/Megadeth/Testament in San Diego...

Not to mention Maiden in Glen Hellen (if I can manage it)

Ironbound is a killer album, best they've done in recent years. Can't wait to see them next month. I'm thinking about going to that 25th anniversary show in NYC, if I can save up some money.

Electro-Violence!

 

[METAL GOD]

speaking of "electro-violence"...Taking Over is great, but my fave is The Years of Decay.

 

[Asterothe]

Overkill is one of the most underrated bands ever. They are one of the
few bands that defined thrash. I'm die hard fan of them. Ironbound is
amazing. I'm glad at least with it they got some credit. Years of Decay,
Horrorscope, Fell the Fire are all classic albums. From Underground and
Below, Necroshine and Kill Box 13 are my faves from 90's and 2000s.
Years of Decay is one of the few albums that is 100% for me. DD Verni
and Bobby are Overkill . They lost their important members in the past
but the gitarist they have now , Dave and Derek, they are both very
good. I can't wait for the killfest next month.

Love the album. I gave it 8 on 10.

Can't fucking wait for April 20th to interview Bobby Blitz and see them fuck shit up at the House of Blues with Vader, Evile and fucking Warbringer!!!
