REVIEW: Thrash Legends OVERKILL Return With "Scorched"

-The legendary Thrasher’s 20th studio album -OVERKILL has put out an album every 3 or 4 years consistently since 1985. -Bobby Blitz has lost nothing over the years vocally. If there’s been a more consistent METAL band in the last 30 years I’d like to know who. OVERKILL has literally put out an album every few years since their debut “Feel The Fire” in 1985. During that time frontman Bobby…

Thursday, December 2: Overkill, “Use Your Head”

Although Among the Living established Anthrax as the figureheads of New York thrash, Overkill’s Taking Over was released around the same time and arguably came closer to representing the Old Bridge Militia. The difference was in the songs: whereas Anthrax incorporated thrash into their traditional metal blueprint, Overkill’s writing was mainly designed to reflect and perpetuate the chaos of their live shows, and “Use Your Head” was as clear a distillation of this ethos as anything else on their second record. Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth did his best to live up to his stage name with his frantic yelping and snarling, while Carlo “D.D.” Verni, Bobby Gustafson and Rat Skates similarly bashed away as if they weren’t so much trying to write songs as punch them out. And between Alex Perialis’ trademark frazzled production and a hilarious chorus that read like a Jersey-fied take on Motörhead, the tune held its own among the ranks of the second-string thrash acts gaining prominence in the back half of the ‘80s. Along those lines, “Use Your Head” did its part to define thrash as a sound and ethos, delivering snarky put-downs over relentless musical violence.

"Hello From The Gutter"

All those dreams and broken glass

Swept down the sewer with the rest of the trash

Never to be seen again

Now you're makin' a home in a garbage can

But here's a little story that I lived to tell

Hello from the gutter

Hello from our little hell

Wasted days, wasted nights

Hypnotized by the city lights

Another king, another queen

Livin' in the shadows so they can't be seen

Remember all the world lies at your feet

And the big apple's rotten

Rotten in the heat

Hello! Hello!

Hello from the gutter

Hello! Hello!

Hello from the gutter

Hello! Hello!

Hello from the gutter

Hello! Hello!

Hello from the gutter

Gutter child, sweet sixteen

Broadway stars that have never been

All those dreams and broken glass

Swept down the sewer with the rest of the trash

Well here's a little story that we lived to tell

Hello from the gutter

Hello from our little hell

Hello from the gutter

Hey

Welcome the the gutter

We've been expecting you
