Overkill in 20+yrs have never altered their approach or undermined their integrity. to make a buck or appeal to a wider group of people. They make music for themselves and fans like me. Overkill is amoung the best and underrated metal bands ever.
It came out in '94 but it's still in the 80's thrash style; a testament to the fact that Overkill didn't abandon their style or sell out, like many of that time did.
Overkill is and has always been one of my favorite bands. The Big 4 was coined because those bands were some of the first but also the most successful! When talking about older thrash, I call them the original 6 because Overkill & Exodus should never be left out of the history of thrash, hell they were there too at the beginning! Now I love Testament but their first album is from 1987, so to me they are a very successful second tier band! Even Metal Church doesn't get the respect they deserve!
Well said. Exodus and Overkill do not get the credit they are due. They were there since the start. Testament started a little later. Although the quality of their product is undeniable.
Horrorscope FTW !! Its up there with the best thrash album of all time !! IMO anyway, i love these guys, relentless & energetic shows with tight as hell speed metal thrash MUSIC & you can see they love it & give all to their fans, nothing else left to say !! OVERKILL fkng RULES !!
Funny thing. The guy that does my sound and lighting told me yesterday that he used to be this band's guitar player, so I just found him on here. Small world.
WFO along with I Hear Black are undoubtedly their 2 most underrated albums. But with songs like Bastard Nation and Gasoline Dream you cannot imagine why.
hey...I'm 33 and fortunately i had the chance,...in iran we had to smuggle the cds, sort of. what a day it was when i first listened to w.f.o! i was thinking today teenagers are all into shit metal and rap,...i'm delighted. keep up good listenin man!
why am i not a 10-year-older man to live 80s in veins! i wanna go back in time and be one of the fist listeners of new records like taking over, years of decay, w.f.o! hail the best thrash band ever! \m/ \m/
Overkill were a second tier thrash band in their day. I defy ANYONE to name me a TOP TIER metal band from today that even comes close to these guys. God, I miss the glory days of metal, when bands like this, Sodom and Dark Angel could just be tossed aside as "good metal."
As Bobby Ellsworth said on Overkill's Moscow gig in 1996 "крутая публика" (cool audience)... superb song. Long live Old School Thrash. P.S. We, Russians really look forward a visit of something old, cool and heavy. For example, we want Megadeth, Overkill and Ac-DC to visit our country one more time. At least)))
@TralphazQ it is official. I believe it came out as the "single" for the Wrecking Your Neck Live double live album, if I remember correctly. the songs definitely crushes.
OVERKILL MI BANDA FAVORITA. EN ESTE VIDEO SALEN UNAS IMAGENES DE LA FIRMA DE AUTOGRAFOS EN EL BAZAR DE LOMAS VERDES,MEXICO 05-03-93 YTAMBIEN IMAGENES DEL CONCIERTO EN EL AUDITORIO LOMAS VERDES,MEXICO.06-03-93
Esta banda surgiu,quando eu tinha 2 anos de idade! muito boa esta banda da mesma linha de JUDAS PRIEST( padre judas) e IRON MAIDEN ( dama de ferro) já ouvi muito esta banda!
This isn't official is it? Its cut up from all of their other music videos. It is cleverly arranged but none of this footage was actually shot for THIS song.
The Blitz survived a fucking stroke on-stage, man. But he still wanted to finish the album while he was getting his head checked. When you have a stroke and still go back to finish recording a fucking epic thrash album in Necroshine, to me that implies that Bobby's a pretty fucking tough dude. Gb2Metallicrap
In regard to people calling Overkill "trash-metal" as opposed to "thrash." In Europe- it was (and still is) common to call thrash bands "trash-metal." It is not meant to be an insult.
Well said! I can't list who's best, sometimes I like some bands more than others and it depends what I'm into at the moment. But I do have a favorite band wich is always gonna be number one, Pantera. But ovekill is fucking awesome one of the best thrash bands
the proud fuck you feeling of this song is amazing, and to this day i have no clue what exactly did that to this song, but it's amazing, the song that turned me on to overkill.
It's a great editing job but yeah, there's clips from the Horrorscope video in here, that I can name right off the bat. And it's obvious it's live audio.
That's a big statement. Megadeth is my all-time favourite band and I was told to check these guys out. So far they have a wicked style that I like but, to say they're better than Megadeth I can't say at this point of course but I don't think it'll fly... And I'm definitely accustomed to the vocals yet, don't know if I will be either.
I think this is from Wrecking Your Neck Live, the live version. it does have an intro but guess it's not used in the video to keep it short. (although 4:20 of Overkill is great too haha)
W.F.O., under the influence, and from the underground and below are probably the best over kill albums... BESIDES EVERY OTHER ALBUM BEING FUCKING AMAZING AND BETTER THAN METALLICA!
Can anyone identify the two song clips played before "Bastard Nation" kicks into gear? You HAVE to see Overkill live -- they are one of the best thrash bands ever.
overkill my latest """find??""" ..knew of em but only just now checking em out. any more bands similar.. that use STANDARD TUNING (the only tuning imo)

Thumbs up to anybody who remembers the Power 30 program on Much Music back in the day.

UNDERRATED SONG!!!! ABSOLUT PURE METAL!!! FOREVER OVERKILL 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
One of my favorites from Overkill. Such a kick ass song.
This + Gasoline Dreams = the 2 best songs from the Gant/Cannavino era
Overkill, pure metal 100%
@alex : and OVERKILL are the only thrash-metal group who recorded more than 20 albums ! They Are The Wrecking Crew !!!!
Saw these guys in concert recently. They're the only thrash band I've forgiven for doing groove metal later on.
why has it taken me so long to finally check these guys out, fuuuuck ive wasted so much time. !heavy metal!
my favourite overkill song...overkil kicks ass!!!!!!!
Most criminally underrated metal band ever, possibly.
Agreed
Kick-ass video from the mid-90's love it !
Bay far THE most underrated Metal band ever and my personal favorite of all time!
A uniqe song from a unique thrash metal band! Overkill never betrays its fans. They've always been a true MeTaL band.
Horrorscope FTW !! Its up there with the best thrash album of all time !! IMO anyway, i love these guys, relentless & energetic shows with tight as hell speed metal thrash MUSIC & you can see they love it & give all to their fans, nothing else left to say !! OVERKILL fkng RULES !!
one of the most underestimated thrash bands,,,, i like this guys...wooohhooo overkill!!
I LOVE OVERKILL!
fantastic band, great vocals, overkill rule.
Tive o prazer de ver OVERKILL ao vivo no paradise garage com os ANNIHILATOR...awesome band since i was a kid...POTENTE comó caralh
bobby "blitz" and james hetfield pretty much have the best thrash vocals ever. Long live OVERKILL!!!!
Awesome. OVERKILL!!!!!!
Me too, and I'm going to see them in October. Check out their tour dates on their site there's probably a show close by.
Bastard Nation -- killer thrash track from the 1994, they were pissed when they did that song and released Wide Fucking Open.
Funny thing. The guy that does my sound and lighting told me yesterday that he used to be this band's guitar player, so I just found him on here. Small world.
Awesome
i like the way how bass sounds in OVERKILL!
Long live METALL ROCK!
Usually not a fan of live stuff--this is cool.

Agreed! Best American thrash metal band EVER!
Why is everyone talking about who should be the 'Big 4'? The Big 4 was based on how much albums were being sold... not how good they are.
love it!!!
great chorus!!
Overkill were a second tier thrash band in their day. I defy ANYONE to name me a TOP TIER metal band from today that even comes close to these guys.

I wished I could live that time. Time when metal -almost- ruled the world.
the proud fuck you feeling of this song is amazing, and to this day i have no clue what exactly did that to this song, but it's amazing, the song that turned me on to overkill.
1.Nuclear Assault
2.Metallica (first 4 albums only)
3.Megadeth
4.Overkill
5.Slayer
etc.
overkill mon groupe favori depuis takes over
It's a great editing job but yeah, there's clips from the Horrorscope video in here, that I can name right off the bat. And it's obvious it's live audio.
What are some of overkills best songs that i should listen to
this is the best band of all time!!! the rest just can't stand up to OVERKILL!! up the kills!
That's a big statement. Megadeth is my all-time favourite band and I was told to check these guys out. So far they have a wicked style that I like but, to say they're better than Megadeth I can't say at this point of course but I don't think it'll fly... And I'm definitely accustomed to the vocals yet, don't know if I will be either.
man overkill is fucking amazing i saw them last year in nyc with afterforever it was fucking awsome XD!!!!!!!!!
this song rules !!!
Espectacularr :) me quit el extress
I think this is from Wrecking Your Neck Live, the live version. it does have an intro but guess it's not used in the video to keep it short. (although 4:20 of Overkill is great too haha)
W.F.O., under the influence, and from the underground and below are probably the best over kill albums... BESIDES EVERY OTHER ALBUM BEING FUCKING AMAZING AND BETTER THAN METALLICA!
Nice edited clip
if your saying these guys are the most original and perfect thrash band ever... YOU SIR, FUCKING KICK ASS!!!
FYI the short clip at the beginning is from Kreators video for Betrayer
Can anyone identify the two song clips played before "Bastard Nation" kicks into gear? You HAVE to see Overkill live -- they are one of the best thrash bands ever.
overkill my latest """find??""" ..knew of em but only just now checking em out. any more bands similar.. that use STANDARD TUNING (the only tuning imo)
Tears 90s epic 👊👊👊👊
