Although everybody seems to have a different
account of who came first in the world of New
York/New Jersey area thrash metal, it seems
certain that New Jersey’s Overkill have stayed
around the longest, and have never let their
fans down by remaining musically consistent and
true to their roots for over 20 years and an
unprecedented 14 full length albums. By 1987’s
Taking Over, the band had worked their way up to
a deal with Atlantic Records. This relationship
would last another 7 years based on the strength
and consistency of Overkill’s music.
1988’s Under The Influence and 1989’s The
Years Of Decay represent Overkill in their
prime. Sid Falck would replace Rat Skates on
drums to bring his own brutal percussive assault
to Verni’s already powerful rhythm section.
The band had already established a rabid fan
base with songs like “Rotten To The Core”
and “Hammerhead” (as well as their infamous
cover of D.O.A.’s “Fuck You”), and new
songs like “Evil Never Dies” and “Hello
From The Gutter” would become Overkill
mainstays as well. A video for “Hello From The
Gutter” was garnering much fan response when
it received play on MTV’s “Headbangers
Ball”. 1994’s W.F.O. would be Overkill’s
final album with Atlantic, as they would release
their first official full-length live assault,
Wrecking Your Neck on CMC in 1995. 1996-1999
would see Overkill release 3 more full length
albums (Killing Kind, From The Underground and
Below, and Necroshine). In 2000, Overkill
released Bloodletting on Metal-Is, adding
guitarist Dave Linsk to the fray. The current
Overkill lineup would be completed with the
release of the live album Wrecking Everything
and the addition of second guitarist Derek
Tailer in 2002. Finally, Overkill would release
one of their most well-received albums to date
Killbox 13 on Spitfire Records in 2003. As fans
rabidly await the imminent release of their
latest contribution on Spitfire, ReliXIV, it
seems obvious that Overkill are, and always have
been, a band that knows who their fans are,
knows what true metal fans expect, and will
settle for nothing but the best from themselves.
An entirely self-produced album, ReliXIV is a
continuation of the Overkill legacy. Immortalis,
the band..s 15th studio album was release in
October 2007 via Bodog Music.
Now with Nuclear Blast Records, it seems the
band has finally found themselves a home:
“ Good to be with a label that understands
what Overkill are about and what Metal is about
in 2010, exciting!” Bobby Blitz.
The upcoming album features Overkill's latest
lineup, which, along with founders Bobby
"Blitz" Ellsworth and D.D. Verni,
includes guitarists Derek "The Skull"
Tailer and Dave Linsk, as well as the newest
member to join the band, drummer Ron Lipnicki.
There are few names as well respected as
Overkill, and with the resurgence of metal in
the music world, this band is poised to return
to the top. Overkill are ready to show mature
metal heads they still have it and are geared up
to teach the new schoolers exactly how it's
done.
“ Ironbound” is one hell of a thrashing
piece which leads the band back to their
old-school roots!
