The driving force behind keeping a band going for thirty years is commendable, let alone when Ironbound is both album fifteen and arguably the most solid album the band has put to their name. That's right, Overkill make their return with a whole new sense of conviction and power. Ironbound oozes with a thrash pedigree and confidently outclasses much of the genre's other contributors, both new and old. You can not take Overkill for granted with this release, as the band finally appear to have a burning fire underneath them with the result being an album to genuinely get excited about.

2010 was a magical year to Overkill as they launched one of the greatest albums of their legendary career. After years of underground industrial metal albums of variable quality, the band set a standard for what thrash metal should be nowadays. Ironbound is an amazing piece of heavy, thrash metal, bringing something new to the industry at the time where there aren't very many good albums released, even by great bands of this style. With this sick album the band brought up the best of themselves with amazing performances by every single one of the musicians. Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth gives a top class performance shifting from high pitched singing to a lower range with a great and unique voice. Even though I personally never considered him a particularly outstanding singer, I have to admit that with the performance on this album he deserves to be among the best thrash metal vocalists of the past 20 years. Both guitar players perform insane riffs and solos and both D.D. Verni and Ron Lipnicki give the album the consistency, power and intensity needed to light up Overkill's career and give them a place among the names on the metal walk of fame. Read more ›› |

I've always wanted to travel to the eighties and touch the peak of thrash metal, when giants in the underground world like Overkill of New Jersey shied away from the camera and only thought about producing true thrash. Although Overkill always tried to reconstruct that world for people like me, bands like them suffer from people criminally under-rating skilled thrash bands. The only thing I can say is that, after the release of each album, everyone's jaw always dropped in admiration for them. Read more ›› |

Man I'm loving this album. This is the best Overkill Album I've ever heard. Old School Thrash is still alive:banger2:
---- Metal takes hold death starts to unfold It's loud like the worlds at an end Your in a blood fury the metal won't stop Onlookers they bang at command Cutting your palm and drinking your blood The power that few others dare You feed the need to go

I was never a old school thrash metal fan, cuz of the vocals. I've known this band since "Immortalis" came out. But this..by far..Overkill's fastest & heaviest album since Horrorscope..which i liked as well  Even though Blitz' vocals gotten better & still in the old school  the music seems to be more into the Bay Area Thrash..which im insanely in love with  "Bring ME The Night" has some power-like metal in it as well. Perfect album, even for me  I gotta get this

I love this album! The opening 1-2 of ''The Green And Black" and the title track especially, is just awesome. That opening is definitely on a a par with anything from their glory days in the 80's! Seems like this is going to be a great year for thrash, what with amazing albums already out by Heathen, and Overkill, Annihilator about to release their best album in years, and the new Exodus sounding very promising! The old school bands are definitely showing the new school thrashers how it should be done.

Posts: 1941 Written by [user id=29268] on 24.01.2010 at 18:44 Not even close. Sorry for the negative comment and I know I won't get new friends with this post, but I never liked this brand of biteless Thrash. When it comes to Thrash, it's not heavy or aggressive at all. And those pussy vocals make it impossible to take this band seriously. This album is faster and much better than, lets say, "I Hear Black", but it is still far from extreme enough for my tastes in Thrash. And the slow parts sound more like traditional Heavy Metal than Thrash to me (apart from the uptempo parts, of course). In fact, I think the songs sound more like old Powermetal (melodic Speed Metal) with a different kind of vocals than really like Thrash.

Power metal? what the fuck. Listen to "Give a Little" and tell me that doesn't sound just like Anthrax.
