Overkill to Fly High with Life of Agony and Death Angel on Friday Night
Still going strong nearly 40 years into their career, thrash-metal veterans Overkill have been traveling the country in support of their 17th LP, The Wings of War (stream it here), which brings them to New York City for the second-to-last stop on their Wings Over the U.S.A. Tour, on Friday night at PlayStation Theater. This is the first album to feature the band’s new drummer, Jason Bittner, who joins original members Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth (vocals) and D.D. Verni (bass and vocals), and Dave Linsk (guitar and vocals) and Derek Tailer (guitar and vocals). This show also happens to be the only one on Overkill’s tour to include Brooklyn’s Life of Agony. After 12 years between albums, they put out the acclaimed A Place Where There’s No More Pain (stream it here), in 2017. Vocalist Mina Caputo and the rest of the band are known for their old-school street-punk sound. And they’re said to be working on their sixth studio album, tentatively due for a 2019 release. Bay Area thrash band Death Angel are out on the road behind their ninth studio album, Humanicide, which arrives at the end of May. Make sure to catch this thrash-metal extravaganza on Friday night at PlayStation Theater. —Elizabeth Ramanand | @Lizochka

Legendary New Jersey thrashers OVERKILL will unleash their 19th studio record, The Wings Of War, on February 22, 2019, via Nuclear Blast.
The band previously announced an extended European tour due to take place in support of their upcoming studio album. OVERKILL will be joining forces with the German cult thrash metal band and label mates DESTRUCTION, legendary thrash metallers FLOTSAM & JETSAM and up and coming Australian thrash squad MESHIAAK for the 'KILLFEST TOUR 2019'.
Today, the band released the official tour trailer. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/_cAEfMLtacU
Commented OVERKILL vocalist Bobby Blitz:
"ONE MORE FUCKING TIME! Let the shit fall away and the metal rule the day. OVERKILL comes to Europe in March 2019 on the release of the new album. So get your necks ready boys and girls, it's going to be dangerous!"
Schmier from DESTRUCTION adds:
"Touring with some of the most influential American Thrash icons is always a pleasure. We became good friends over all those years, I'm happy we are ALL still around and we can thrash Europe together. Also, some of the Australian boys from MESHIAAK have toured with us Down Under before with their predecessor band 4 ARM. What an intense family-reunion…hahaha!"

Stay tuned for the upcoming episodes that will detail the journey to the upcoming album, 'The Wings Of War'.
Recently, the band released the second single entitled, "Head Of A Pin". Watch the lyric video here: https://youtu.be/zniDdYOLYt0
Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth comments, "Head of a Pin" took a long time to come together, it is probably the tune that went through the most changes and the last one I finished. Looking back on it's development, the time invested was all well worth it. The tonality of the guitar shines on it and the song goes 'other places', traditional with a touch of the down-low-dirty riff, and a sing-along chorus...personally, one of my favorites off The Wings of War."

Legendary New Jersey thrashers OVERKILL will unleash their 19th studio record, The Wings Of War, on February 22, 2019 via Nuclear Blast . Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth comments, "It was a blast making The Wings of War! It is something old feeling new again, as our chemistry was altered by the addition of Jason Bittner. I was curious from the get-go, how would it pan out? I think what we accomplished here is a new, upgraded Overkill that embraced the new chemistry, while taking our roots into the present. The new formula produced not only more raw power, but more places to go with melody, a win, win. The key is being not only interested in the change, but part of it. I'll tell you what, it's still fun as hell making Overkill records. The Wings Of War was recorded at Gear Recording Studio in New Jersey, SKH Studio in Florida and Jrod Productions with engineering handled by DD and Dave. The album was produced by the band while Chris "Zeuss" Harris.handled the mixing and mastering.

Overkill llega al Teatro Flores
Veintinueve años de larga trayectoria y un sonido más pesado que el promedio del thrash metal son motivos más que suficientes como para que el regreso de Overkill sea una de las grandes visitas internacionales de este año. Te contamos todo lo que necesitás saber del demoledor show que darán en el Teatro Flores el próximo jueves 31 de enero.
Desde sus primeros pasos a inicios de la década de 1980, Overkill ha sufrido una serie de cambios en su formación. Claro que esto no resintió la estructura sonora del conjunto norteamericano, pero al día de hoy los únicos miembros originales presentes en su formación son (ni más ni menos) que el vocalista, Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth y el bajista D.D. Verni.
En la actualidad, Dave Linsk (guitarra principal), Derek Tailer (guitarra rítmica) y Jason Bittner (batería) son quienes completan a Overkill. Cualquiera que haya asistido a lo largo de los años a uno de sus shows, entiende a la perfección la razón por las que los denominan los “Motörhead del Thrash Metal”. Y es justamente eso lo que traerán a la Argentina el próximo jueves 31 de enero: una potencia avasallante, un volumen y una pesadez difíciles de igualar en la escena metalera internacional.
De sus 18 álbumes de estudio, no han sido pocos los que tuvieron éxito en las grandes listas de su país, algo que sin dudas sorprende y que también se puede entender analizando la puerta que se abrió en los Estados Unidos para el Heavy Metal luego de la irrupción de leyendas del mismo calibre como Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus y Testament. En el marco de su Wing Over Latin America Tour, los oriundos de Nueva Jersey desembarcarán en nuestro país para presentar su más reciente disco, The Grinding Wheel (2017), trabajo con el que consiguieron -una vez más- el elogio de toda la prensa especializada.
Overkill se presentará el jueves 31 de enero en el Teatro Flores. Los tickets se encuentran a la venta en la web de Tu Entrada y sus respectivos puntos físicos.

OVERKILL Guitarist To Sit Out Upcoming Tour For "Personal Reasons"
OVERKILL Guitarist To Sit Out Upcoming Tour For “Personal Reasons”
Overkill will hit the road this week with Prong, and with a slightly different lineup. Overkill guitarist Dave Linsk is sitting out the tour for “personal reasons” and will be replaced by guitarist Phil Demmel (Vio-Lence). Demmel previously filled in with Overkill in November 2021, so it should be a smooth-as-hell transition.
