How can you not love a metal band that is named after a Motorhead album? Overkill are the one thrash band that have stuck to their guns and consistently put out great records without compromising. Along with Anthrax, Overkill were the East Coast’s answer to what was happening over in the bay area.
This is the band’s 19th studio album and it is an absolute monster of a record. Mean Green Killing Machine gets things going at a pace and has multiple changes and grooves to keep the most picky of thrash fans happy. Blitz’s vocal on Goddamn Trouble is just epic with the fast delivery to match the groove of the song. The pace and intensity continues with Our Finest Hour, and old school thrash is alive and well and living in NYC. Dudes and dudettes…this album is killer all the way through, and puts one huge smile on your face from beginning to end. You even get the bonus track which is a cover of Thin Lizzy’s Emerald. I really like this band and this is definitely one of the best thrash albums I have heard in eons.
10/10 from The Grooveman.
