<\/a>Overkill is the alpha and the omega of thrash metal. With a career spanning over two decades and 14\u00a0full-length albums, Overkill has remained a constant in the metal genre it helped define.\u00a0The Jersey workingman\u2019s metal monster originally formed as a four-piece. The self-proclaimed \u201cWrecking Crew\u201d released a handful of albums on quintessential metal label Megaforce\u00a0Records in the early \u201880s. As label mates with such bands as Metallica and Anthrax, Overkill became partof the birth of the East Coast thrash metal scene. The band\u2019s relationship with Megaforce culminated in\u00a0the release of 1991\u2019s acclaimed Horroscope. From there, the band moved on to Atlantic records where\u00a0it would produce I Hear Black and W.F.O.<\/p>\nAfter leaving Atlantic Records, Overkill would spend the next 10 years continuing to release hi-powered\u00a0Thrash records, as well as having a seemingly endless touring cycle. The band remained true to their\u00a0thrash metal roots and released some of its best work, including 1999\u2019s Necroshine and 2003\u2019s Killbox\u00a013. Both records becoming the keystone of thrash metal for fans worldwide.<\/p>\n
Overkill has endlessly toured the globe hitting most every music venue and participated in all of the
\nheavy European festivals. Gaining legions of metal fans wherever they travel, the band has conquered
\nthe globe, from the Far East to South America. Overkill has shared the stage with metal icons nu and old.<\/p>\n
Now with Bodog Music, the band is set to rejoin forces with Jonny and Marsha Zazula, previous owners
\nof Megaforce Records, who are now part of the Bodog Team in the United States. Overkill will unleash
\nits 15th studio album, Immortalis, on October 9. The upcoming album features Overkill\u2019s latest lineup,
\nwhich along with founders Bobby \u201cBlitz\u201d Ellsworth and D.D. Verni, includes guitarists Derek “The Skull”
\nTailer and Dave Linsk, as well as the newest member to join the band, drummer Ron Lipnicki.<\/p>\n
There are few names as well respected as Overkill, and with the resurgence of metal in the music word,
\nthis band is poised to return to the top. Overkill is ready to show old metal heads they still have it and to
\nteach the new schoolers exactly how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n
