Overkill-The grinding wheel(my review)


The "green" New Jersey thrashers are here with their another baby. The green because this colour is their sign. This album has 10 songs with a story, idea and unique atmosphere. I know that albums "The electric age" and " White devil armory" are connected  with invisible thread of ideas. I know it's hard to record better album like those two. But Overkill did manage good. The album is out and the feeling that comes out of my heart and brain is positive but fresh. I did see all lyrics from albums and I know what is about. I did hear almost every Overkill song and I know what they feel. The house of thrash metal is full of good albums and "The grinding wheel" should be there. Overkill is thrash metal but in their own style. And don't expect a weakness. Music is somewhere a typical Overkill and somewhere a new food. Lyrics are changed. They are not very heavy. Lyrics on the grinding wheel are about other things and topics like are on others albums. Lyrics are more ripe.

The sound of guitars are sharp, typical Overkill with impact of great solos. I admire Derek "the skull" Tailer  and Dave Linsk guitar perfection. Unstoppable, precise drums. And of course here is a clattering DD Verni's bassguitar. His sound makes Overkill great. And here is also absolute unique wild voice of Bobby "Blitz"Ellsworth. Bobby is better than before. The older he is the more perfect he is. He has the blades inside the vocal chords. The best he sings in those songs- mean green killing machine, come heavy, red white and blue, the grinding wheel, our finest hour.
In my opinion the album "The grinding wheel" is guarantee that Overkill will continue in the great way. That Overkill will never leave this house which they knows the best. Overkill is, was and still will be a symbol of power, energy, speed, ferocity, precision and perfection.

Mean, green killing machine- great, my favourite.
Goddamn trouble-great everything.
Our finest hour-good and interesting lyrics.
Shine on- 50% great.
Long road- 50% interesting.
Lets all go to hades- more than Shine on.
Come heavy- great.
Red, white and blue- great, awesome voice.
The wheel- 70%+ great
The grinding wheel- grinding song.

Overkill-The grinding wheel(95% all album).
