Overkill-The years of decay(my review)


After albums feel the fire, Taking over and Under the influence Overkill recorded and created more hard and Thrash album. The songs Elimination, Time to kill, I hate, Nothing to die for, Birth of tension and Evil never dies are a typical thrash songs with aggressive, sharp vocals, melodies. And just Bobby's voice is really sharp at first time on this album. Bobby prefered a pure, clean singing. Just on this album started sings really for thrash metal.
Well, Bobby was great but on Years of decay definitive.
Album cover is one of my favorite. It shows the mood of every song.

Time to kill- starts with a humming guitars. Then starts the great intro and then the killing vocals, melodies. All instruments are perfect.

Elimination-the most known song from Overkill. Ornament at the concerts. This song has very awesome video. Great vocals, refrain, solo, bass, drums, lyrics. One of the heaviest song they recorded.

I hate-capricious intro. Another aggressive, fast song with catchy refrain, solo, melody. Big ornament at the concerts.

Nothing to die for-starts with cutting drums and a typical bass with jumping melody. Interesting lyrics, fast solo, crushing riffs.

Playing with spiders/skullkrusher-mysterious instrumental song. Skullkrusher has the darkest riff which Overkill created. This is real influence of Black Sabbath. Bobby sings pulmonary, fluent. After refrain song starts with cutting riff and sharp vocals. Confusing solo, crushing melody and return to slow melody.

Birth of tension-rolling intro, sharp riffs. Typical vocals, crushing drums, bass. One of their best refrain. True tension.

Who tends the fire-the best, really the best intro which they created. Gloomy mood. I love bass sound in the song. Refrain is so mysterious like moon and night. Lyrics makes the song so capricious. Song ends fast and heavy. Bobby sings very good and very sensual.

The years of decay-really great ballad. So excellent voice, guitars. This song they played at concerts sometimes rarely. The end is with great drums.

Evil never dies-pulling intro, fast and wild tempo, cutting voice, guitars. Rarely played at concerts. The last strike at the end.

This album is full of great, majestic, unique ideas. Overkill created his style just here.
Album which has good audible every instrument. It's very good the bass is so audible. Dd Verni bass style is unique. Everything is admirable. Every song has a great ideas. Album which Overkill will never overcome. Never.
100% precision and perfection.
