Description
Double album with gatefold cover and one side lazer etched
Overkills eleventh studio album with own material is one of the heaviest the band have done. The material has a lot of dynamic range, and there are really no weak cuts. It picks up on the dark style of Necroshine, and throws in the riffs similar to WFO, and also sometimes harking back to classics like Years of Decay and Taking Over. The first two songs definitely set the tone of the album: Thunderhead has some killer riffs, a nice chorus, and even some very well done lead guitar. Dave Lynsk is the lead guitarist on this album (Derek Tailer would join for subsequent touring) and he does a great job. Bleed Me is probably the best song on here, and is a live staple. Overall, this is one of the best Overkill’s done since Years Of Decay. It’s good to see that one of the first thrash bands ever are still going strong after all those years…. to the rest: you’re not the first, and you won’t be the last! Overkill rides again!!
