Overkill

[binnie]

Does anyone here dig this band?

To me, they are criminally underrated in the UK: is this the same in the US?

One band who definately deserve to be heralded in the history of metal.

OverKill are criminally underrated EVERYWHERE.

I don't know what's the matter with people.

They're heavy and aggressive, yes, but their music has a feel-good attitude about it that it's simply unbelievable.

Cheers! :bottle:

Seems to me that their output has been pretty consistently impressive...

That's how I see it too: so many really heavy bands rule, but you have to be in the right mood for them.

Overkill, however, always had a fun vibe to them!

yeah, they rule.

I saw them live on Gigantour.
The frontman was incredible... just a great frontman performance.

binnie, i have always been a fan of overkill. but they rarely play outside of new england area. so when i got to see them last year on gigantour in devore,ca i was mighty happy.
i hadn't seen them in nearly 20 years.
they kicked ass!

[SparkieD]

One of the very few bands that has never strayed from their style or sound. One of my very favorites and they have never, EVER disappointed me.

Bobby Blitz of Overkill's new side band The Cursed is not too bad...he sings a bit differently.

Cool band...they have been around alot longer than I thought.

[binnie]

Good to see that there's love for this band out there.

If they ever tour the UK again, wild horses couldn't keep me away!
