This band really sucks! I hated them back in the 80's when thrash was really happening and I hate them today when they are just a sorry relic of a time that has passed them by and where they didn't make it in the first time! So .. Overkill go suck my d**k!

I hope the fans of Overkill don't find my post offensive?

I do. As someone said before, not only because your wrong choice of words, but also because you didn't clarify your point at all. It is respectable, and it should be this way, for you to dislike a band... but if you come across a thread to post this shite (sorry mate, this is wrong choice of words ), you can easily expect someone to take this insulting.

Personally, I enjoy most Overkill albums very much, I find them one of the most solid and regular bands in the whole scene, proved with their latest album, "Ironbound", which in my opinion was the best album back in 2010 and, for my taste, and I remark this, MY taste, it can be perfectly placed among their best classics such as "Under the Influence" or "The Years of Decay".

And yah, it's one of my favourite bands, such a shame I couldn't see them live yet.

I only enjoy their first two albums, that was back when those were released and still to this day. Overkill were and are the most powerless of the thrash bunch, both musically and vocally. If there is one powerless whiny wheezing vocalist it's Bobby. Totally nice guy though, but not fit to be called a thrash vocalist.

but to be honest this is not the way to go about the Overkill thread. Let the people that like Overkill discuss it and the rest of us should really stay away. By the way let me say I'm sorry for my choice of words in the previous post. I was a bit "aggrivated" to begin with and finding the Overkill thread didn't make it any better. I do still of course have all the respect for a band that did long and (I'm sure) hard service for the genre.

Why should we stay away? This threads is about Overkill, so also negative opinions about them are allowed. It be dead boring to read only praise about them. I respect them for going on so long but that doesn't make them good or isn't a reason to say bad things about them.

Agreed with Marcel. I love Overkill but it'd be lame if all I had to read in this thread was people circle-jerking over their favorite Overkill album.

No matter the haters they have the right to tell what they think. Still doesn't erase the FACT that Overkill is a freaking awesome thrash metal band. No matter the vocals, the music is great and their latest was a fucking gift from hell, to me. Awesome album. Marcel, wtf man ''looks down on the old man'' Overkill's awesome man, not only the first 2 tssssss -_- (:P just kiddin btw)

You can express yourself anytime you wish, and of course you can criticize and talk any stuff you want about any other band you dislike, in fact, forums and life in general would be dead fucking boring if everyone liked the same music and the same damned bands, I was just saying that everything should be said with respect. And expressions such as "Overkill go suck my d*ck" are totally out of place here because for many fans, including myself, those words may sound irrespectful and to them, and, from my point of view, they actually do.

It's not like "hey, you don't dig Overkill, so stay out of this thread and comment on any other band you like better", no. It's rather like "hey, you don't like this band, we're all okay with this and you can express yourself free of insults and expressions than can be taken as insulting".

There are tons of ways of speaking, and you chose probably the worst of all of them. Just that.

But again, this is only my opinion. Now let's get back to Overkill.

I do wonder where they got that name from? Motorhead released an album in -79 ... what was the name of the album again?

So what? Many bands do that thing. Just have a look at Bonded by Blood.

I know that but I think it's a bit unimaginative and lame though.

Well, actually I couldn't care less about band's names. As long as they play kick ass music, I mean.

That was a really cheap logical fallacy, hope you pay more attention in philosophy class, skippy.

Lol nah man, it was totally on purpose im glad you noticed lol

At 14:50, Blitz mentions that two of the Big Four contacted Overkill to take them on tour. Doesn't mention which ones, but I'm pretty sure that it's Anthrax and Megadeth-they were supposed to tour with Anthrax last year but didn't so that they could work on The Electric Age, and Megadave brought Overkill out on one of the Gigantours. Would be really cool if either one of the two tours happened. Or maybe even all three bands.

I always liked Overkill but for some reason it was Horrorscope that got me to love them. I'm not as keen on the late 90s and early 2000s stuff but really like Immortalis, Ironbound and The Electric Age. It's great that a band I grew up listening to are still making great music.

PS I happen to really like Bobby's vocals. They're so distinctive that Overkill wouldn't be Overkill without him.

OVERKILL Has Nine Songs Musically Written For Next Album

https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/overkill-has-nine-songs-musically-written-for-next-album/

wow it can be an millstone 20 is a lot of, I hoped they will do it, now seems they will. I dont wanna coubt, but not many bands has such milstone, maybe not even Iron maiden and might metallica.
Good milestone to reach,

Great news! Wings of War was kickass

OVERKILL frontman Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth has confirmed to the Chicago Tribune that guitarist Dave Linsk will sit out the band's March 2022 U.S. tour due to "personal reasons" and will be temporarily replaced by former MACHINE HEAD and current VIO-LENCE guitarist Phil Demmel.

Overkill is one of the best Thrash bands still around today. Not many can still put out at least good albums, such as the latest album from Heathen - Empire of the Blind is nothing like what the used to sound like. Overkill has maybe changed a little bit over time but not a sell out type band, they just keep things real!

Overkill have canceled their previously announced shows in U.K., Ireland and Germany "due to unforeseen circumstances.

The four-date run of dates was scheduled to kick off on May 27 in Northampton, U.K. and conclude on June 1 in Essen, Germany.
29.05.2022 GBR, Belfast
01.06.2022 GER, Essen

"Due to unforeseen circumstances we are sorry to announce that we are having to cancel our UK/Ireland and Essen Dates.
We will hopefully be able to make it up for those shows in 2023."
