| 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?

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.

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..

| 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.

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

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??

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
