A New Jersey band that's been delivering heavy riffs and speed since the 1980s.
For their sound, check out 'Within Your Eyes' or 'Bare Bones' from their top songs. They give you a good sense of what the band does.
Overkill's sound is built on speed and heavy riffs, with songs like 'Elimination' showing their aggressive style. They've been a familiar part of the thrash metal scene since their self-titled debut in 1985, maintaining a presence without much mainstream fuss. Their 19 studio albums, including 'The Years of Decay' and 'Horrorscope,' show a band that just keeps at it.
Overkill formed in New Jersey around 1980 with vocalist Bobby 'Blitz' Ellsworth and guitarist Bob Daisley. The lineup has shifted around Ellsworth and bassist D.D. Verni over the decades, but they've kept releasing albums like 'Ironbound' in 2010 alongside earlier work from the 80s and 90s.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
