WE ARE THE WRECKING CREW!!!!!!

I love Taking Over. AMAZING ALBUM. It reeks of thrash and also stinks of traditional metal underpinnings. Fantastic.

HELL YEAH! I saw Overkill play last October at the Pearl room! They played a great set and I caught one of D.D.'s picks. Overkill is another essential for any thrash fan. I swear Blitz is gonna keep making music until he dies on stage.

I agree. FtF, TO and Horrorscope is where it is at. TYoD and UtI are good. I've always had a soft spot for FtUaB. The new one, ReliXIV is pretty good too.

I really think these guys have gotten over looked. Everyone mentions the big four of thrash, but Overkill is easily the 5th (tied with Testament IMO).

For my money the Overkill albums that are must haves are: the first 2, Feel The Fire and Taking Over. Another must have is Horrorscope. This album is pure thrash energy at it's highest level. Great band, awesome live set and the greatest logo/mascot ever!! Overkill slays!! "Get on your knees and suck it!"

One of my all time favourite Thrash band's. They have some poor album's, but the good outweigh the bad. First 5 albums and the Killbox 13 are my favourite studio albums. Live album Wrecking Everything is a fucking killer album and should be checked out.

Don't forget that DVD, as it's a thrashtastic release. The audience in it seems a bit lacking (wrong kind of a venue I suppose, as there's a quite a distance between them and the band) though, but everything else is pure entertainment.

I never got Under the Influence :crying: The dude that I bought it from refunded my money though, so I bought Years of Decay.

Great album, Horrorscope is good too. I would suggest Feel the Fire, Taking Over and of course Years of Decay next. The rest of their albums are very different but are worth a listen. I really enjoyed Necroshine through RelIX.

Overkill rules. One of the best live bands I've seen too. So much energy on stage and the thrash makes for an intense show.

Anyways recomendations:
In the vain of Bloodletting since you dug that I suggest:RelixIV, Necroshine, Killbox 13

And there older thrash material: Feel the Fire, Taking Over, Under the Influence, Years of Decay and Horrorscope are musts.

Also these albums are worth getting as well: W.F.O. and Killing Kind

[quote][b]SteveSaks (2/14/2006)[/b][hr]bloodletting is probably there best "newer" cd...also check out..."From the underground and below"..It might even be better than Bloodletting..hard to decide which one..I like more[/quote]

Sweet... I think I'll check this one out next... For some reason I have the urge to listen to their newer stuff first... don't know why??

yah i only have bloodletting and necroshine, but i like bllodletting quite a lot

For some unknown reason their latter stuff from "Necroshine" has never appealed to me that much (just the odd song for each CD), However thier earlier CDs are a must.

The CDs in order of my preference :

Horrorscope

Taking Over

The Years of Decay

Feel the Fire

Under the Influence

W.F.O.

Wrecking your Neck Live (An Excellent Live CD(s))

I Hear Black (I know of so many people that don't like this CD that much)

From the Underground to Below

The Killing Kind

Necroshine

Relix IV

Bloodletting

Kilbox 13

Coverkill

Of course this is only my opinion.

Hey I've followed Overkill for years, even seen them play live before they had a record deal..ha!. The later albums are heavier and more thrash oriented. Their best earlier one is 'Taking Over' check out" Powersurge , Electro-Violence..very catchy, the 'Under The Influence ' album has a few good ones as well..'Shred' .."We came to shred!"..lol..brings back memories..:D

RE: Overkill

voodoo — Sat, 11 Feb 2006 08:00:54 GMT

Start with the first one and go from there!

No, seriously, the first one, Feel the Fire, is great. I also have Necroshine and RelixVI and all are real good. Necroshine of those 3 is my least favorite but the title track is damn good.

Overkill

For some reason, I never heard much of Overkill's material (God, I don't know why???). Anyway, I picked up "Bloodletting" the other day... Damn, It is friggin awesome!!!

So, thrash heads... give me some Overkill history & opinions.

What Overkill albums are a must have?
