Overkill songwriter and bassist, D.D. Verni, has plans to release his first solo album in 2018 and is currently looking for a label to call home. Verni states: "I'm psyched to get this disc out, we had a lot of fun and a lot of great players contributed". The album was mixed and mastered by Chris "Zeuss" Harris (Rob Zombie, Queensrÿche, Hatebreed). Get a first taste with the lyric video for the song "Fire Up", featuring guitarist Mike Orlando, below.




The record is said to be a mix of all of Verni's influences. "There's some metal, punk, classic rock... it's all in there, from Queen to Green Day to Metallica, I think we covered all the basses!", declares D.D. Verni. This first effort has a host of guitar players doing guest spots, including Jeff Loomis (Arch Enemy), Angus Clark (Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Jeff Waters (Annihilator), Bruce Franklin (Trouble), Mike Romeo (Symphony X), Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob), Steve Leonard (Almost Queen) and Andre "Virus" Karkos (Dope) who also contributed the rhythm guitar tracks. Rounding out the group is former Overkill drummer Ron Lipnicki.
