Overkill - Sign With Nuclear Blast/E1-Koch Records, 25th Anniversary Concert Planned
Original news posted on 31.10.2009
Overkill have signed to Nuclear Blast Records for a multi-release deal (world excl. North America). The first offering will be available early 2010 titled Ironbound - a true "thrasher-piece".
Vocalist Bobby Blitz commented: "Good to be with a label that understands what Overkill are about and what metal is about in 2010, exciting!"
Jaap Wagemaker, A&R adds: "Nuclear Blast is very stoked to announce the signing of legendary New Jersey thrashers Overkill!! Growing up with classics such as Feel The Fire, Taking Over and The Years Of Decay and seeing the band countless times playing live it is sure to say that one of our favourite bands of all time has finally found their home at the powerhouse that Nuclear Blast is today. We are very much looking forward to start working with Overkill and are eager to release their new album Ironbound to the masses. A new album on which they have returned to their old school thrash roots. The band is already working on a new European tour for 2010. Welcome to the Nuclear Family."
Overkill are also set to tour the USA with God Dethroned and label mates Vader in April 2010.

Is it just me, or do half their album covers look exactly the same, just a different colour scheme?

This is fantastic news. They deserve to have a solid deal with a label like Nuclear Blast, right along side Testament. If there were a "second tier big four" Testament and Overkill should both belong in it. The cover does look similar to others, but it's probably only an indication that this will be another standard thrash offering but the kill. Not groundbreaking, but surely not mediocre. Hopefully another satisfying slab of thrash metal coming up.
