oh hell yeah!

They're going to have to be on their game to surpass Ironbound. If they can get even close I'll be more than satisfied .. Ironbound is excellent.

Amen to that! Ironbound is still in constant rotation for me.

 

[Diabolik]

I think Ironbound is just OK. Nothing will ever top "Taking Over"

 

[RagePSV]

Awesome! New Rage and Overkill coming, I am a happy camper.

Legendary Thrash Metal band Over Kill takes you behind the scenes of recording their new album The Electric Age due out March 27th.

[Matt Crooks]

Can't wait!

Overkill is a band that can do no wrong by me... I got the digital version Monday night from Amazon and it's everything I expected from them

 

[MYSTIC1]

I've been a huge fan since '87. Saw them for the first time in '88. Many years later they are still kicking ass. I'm loving the new disc \m/

 

[Nidstang]

Such a great thrash masterpiece.

I was invited to the listening party for this this past weekend, however I was heading to Albany instead of straight to Manhattan on Friday so I missed it. However I did get a promo of the album and listened to it on the way home Tuesday; it is pretty good. Maybe that streak of good album, not so good album is finally coming to an end for them.

 

[RagePSV]

I've only listened to the first half of it so far. It sounds good, but it is definetely not hitting me as hard as Ironbound did the first time.

...it is definetely not hitting me as hard as Ironbound did the first time.

I agree. I like it, but not instantly like Ironbound. Maybe needs some more listens.

 

[lurch70]

its a bit one dimensional and too ... i don't know ... happy in some ways and while Blitz's lyrics are memorable the riffage is lacking.

 

[DustyV]

Wow, nothing on this album is doing it for me other than the first track. With Ironbound I was hooked from the beginning. But nothing is sticking with me at all....Too many of the tracks are too fast and sound the same, not the mid paced crunch I love hearing from Overkill. "Who tends the fire" is still my favorite Overkill song to date, and coming in a close 2nd is "powersurge"

 

[Rider of Theli]

...not hitting me as hard as Ironbound did the first time.

me either. But it's still good, quality Overkill along the late 90's Necroshine meets a bit of From the Underground & Below.

Dusty - make sure you give my fave track (#3) a thorough listen. That opening scream gives me chills every time I hear it. wow!

some of the deeper cuts have a great groove to them too.

Yeah, I still like Ironbound better at this point. But I already like this one better than the prior two combined (Immortalis & ReliXIV).

 

[J. Golden]

The first listen to this was in the car coming back from New York and I was half asleep but it did seem alright. Although I totally missed when my girlfriend switched out the Forte I had just picked up so to slide this CD in; so at first I did not realize it was Overkill.
Listening to it again right now for the second time I still think it is not that bad, but it does seem like another weaker one.

 

[templeofmax]

Most awesome song of the whole CD, song #9 All Over But The Shouting!!!!! Great chorus...very memorable!!!!!!!

 

[The Invisible Guest]

Gotta lot of mouth for a Jersey white boy
Beat the drum now you've gone too far
Drag it out .. ended up injured
Old wounds .. Brand new scars .. Brand new scars


All in all a good solid disc, but it's not quite up to the level of Ironbound. It's still a winner for me though.
