Overkill-Killbox13(my review)

I think this album is successful enough among Necroshine, Bloodletting, Relixiv and Immortalis.it's relative good. Overkill was devising all the possible and impossible. And then Killbox13 was created.
Through it all this album sounds attractive. But Overkill was out of the style but not very. With some changed ways they created robust riffs and atmosphere.
And the best is Blitz. Bobby Blitz is still in format. Also on Killbox13 his performance is awesome.
DD Verni makes a clattering sound of bassguitar. His bass is a little thick.
Guitars are sounding good and making interesting riffs and melodies. Yes, a good ideas are also here. Strength and power of structures, constructions for every song.
Overkill cannot to record a bad album. It couldn't be Overkill.
Lyrics are sensitive to the songs. Overkill only created own philosophy. If I can to say anything-Bobby sings between screaming and clean singing. He is more singer here. Yes, his screams are good but he shows his other side of singing. And he makes a true unique atmosphere because he is universal.
When I look through the Overkill discography so this album I judge as one of good. In my opinion Killbox13 is between I hear black and Necroshine.
Killbox13 is a reason why Overkill is so universal. Killbox13 is not gold but silver. And that's still a very high ranking.

Metallica-Hardwired to self destruct(my review)

It's a nice surprise. Metallica is here with a new album after 8 years. Very long time. They collected the ideas and recorded one of their the best album.
This album is the mix of "Master of puppets" with "And Justice for all".
The sound is close to "And Justice for all".
I think that "Death magnetic" was a little chaotic. "Hardwired" sounds fresh, disengaging. I am personally very happy with it. Album contains beautiful melodies better than on "Death magnetic". Contains awesome atmosphere, feelings, great return to real Metallica.
Guitars makes pretty good melodies, riffs for every thought in the brain. James and Kirk are better guitar couple than before.
Bassguitarist Robert Trujillo is of course a great and also important part in Metallica and this album. His performance is admirable. Another main thing is unique and awesome voice of James Hetfield. He sounds through the songs with an incredible sensation which he shows it also at concerts.
Lars Ulrich has drums like a constant wall here. Drums sounds also stronger. And all the structure is a fortress. Fortress which will be here forever. I think this album is a example why is Metallica back in thrash metal. They created interesting album. Master of puppets is the first inspiration for Hardwired to self destruct. It's strong and nothing can destroy it.
Metallica recorded and created the album which nobody could forecast. Another awesome thing is that Metallica created a videos to every song.
Lyrics are good adapted to songs. It's awesome that Metallica is back here with this unique album.

Overkill-Ironbound(my review)

Just with this album Overkill started a new stronger stage of their career. Ironbound is a bomb after Immortalis album. They did catch the breath. And it's good. The way which this album shows is the end of an experimental albums and Overkill goes outright to the top. Albums Immortalis, Relixiv, Killvox13 or bloodletting are not so awesome as Ironbound.
Ironbound started this process. Ironbound ranks among the gold bricks in the thrash metal house. Here is Overkill in full strength.
The guitars are wild, sharp. For example "Bring me the night" is very good vibration for the ears. Overkill knows where they are the best. They knows own house, how to create the hellish album. They know it now.
It's a classic. Songs has a crushing vocals and riffs. Drums are good enough. DD Verni crush the strings on his bassguitar. He plays very awesome melodies in every song.
And the singer Bobby is good again. His crushing, cutting vocals  are in the good position. Very good thing is that every instrument is good audible. I like album cover. It's a beast. Lyrics on this albums are adapted by the song's title. Bobby screams his words through the songs like a monster. His opinions are right. I like it. He is full of energy here. All band showed a very positive atmosphere. Their music on Ironbound is also unique. Accomplishment.
Overkill did fatten discography with another food for a thrash metal beast.
Ironbound is a successful combination with horrorscope and some new ideas. Ironbound is another jewel. Just after Horrorscope or killbox13.
Overkill is reliability for thrashing and the sign for  awesome future.

Overkill-The electric age(my review)

Electricity is everywhere. This album is a charge. Charge between the band and the fans. A spark in the cold darkness. Overkill is propelled by the electric engine. They makes very strong tension. The guitars plays the riffs of flashes, energy and lightnings. The songs makes millions and millions volts.
Overkill and their electric experiment is full of enthusiastic moments. This album is a conductor, main wire, cable and flex in their career in the 21.century.
Album is connected with an invisible thread between Ironbound and white devil armory. Overkill is an machine which makes the new material. Electric madness and hell is here. I gotta say they still records a good quality albums since Ironbound. This is their a new stage, age which started just with Ironbound.
Overkill made thrash metal with their typical style, elements. But from Ironbound through The electric age are here a new elements.
Another very important thing are striking charged drums and DD Verni's bassguitar.
His bassguitar sounds just like the electricity. This man created Overkill and his typical style. DD is of course the inventor of the most awesome bassguitar sound.
Bobby blitz Ellsworth was good and now is better and then will be better.
This singer has a saw in throat. He is a good electric rattlesnake.
More than 30years and still cuts.
All songs are pretty good awesome. Really admirable art work. Another jewel.
Overkill created a power station with honest workers in thrash metal.
Album cover says here is no paradise.
Speed and persistence. This is Overkill.

Overkill-White devil armory(my review)

When Overkill recorded The electric age I was thinking they will never record better album. I was mistaken.
White devil armory is from the best years for Overkill together with Ironbound and The electric age.
This album is full of interesting stories, atmosphere, melodies. Overkill is still recourseful when still makes a music with unique elements. They are heads and thoughts with unstoppable energy. That's why Overkill did never end. Fire burns for the most past everytime. I think this band which has very much albums comes to live with the hell. They knows what they want. And here is the result.
I think that when comes a new album I know it will be still a great strike.
White devil armory is another ace of thrash metal. Another pillar of power.
Overkill feeds and feeds the hellish fire with another wood, ashes and gasoline.
This album is not slowing down.
Overkill is old but not boring. Here is everything perfect.
Guitars sounds hard, heavy, sharp,solos are killing. Drums strikes from every side. Bass is clattering, still same good. And voice by Bobby blitz Ellsworth is full of energy which could make the great lighting. Bobby is still the example that also after the years can make the best music. He is getting old but his voice is young.
It's pleasure to listen this album.

The best and the greatest songs are Armorist, Down to the bone, where there's smoke, freedom rings, In the name.

Overkill-I hear black(my review)

Do I hear black? What do I hear? Mainly I hear Overkill.
Not very this Overkill but some elements are here. The first element is Bobby who sings through the rolling melodies. And others elements are DD bassguitar, some riffs and awesome atmosphere.
Lyrics are changed to simplicity. This album is alone, independent. And it's interesting that also this style is for Overkill favourable and attractive. This album is fresh for me. I like it. Overkill showed how good it could be. Here are the sharp riffs like "Spiritual void" also Bobby screams here to and fro. The black age was crushing a thrash metal scene and Overkill was breaking the bones and skulls.
I hear black sounds awesome today also. The album has a new elements which Overkill used for others albums.
"I hear black" addressed me for an attractive atmosphere. It's not Horrorscope but it's pretty good pleasure for me and some people. I don't see some weakness. It's a change but Here is everything.
Bobby's voice, pumping drums, good guitars and DD bassguitar.
"I hear black" should be in attention for every fan. Because Overkill showed they are universal and in all ways possible.
Every song makes me happy. My personally favorite are "Dreaming in Columbian", "I hear black", "Spiritual void", "Feed my head", "Shades of grey".
I admires Bobby's lyrics on the album. He makes "I hear black" more interesting.
Overkill in black.

"I hear black, it has no mercy. Repeatin in my head."

Overkill-Horrorscope(my review)

The years of decay was very awesome. But Overkill didn't drain off the ideas or power. Just in Horrorscope they showed how they're unstoppable. What they recorded on Horrorscope is well done work. I think they needed to make the powerful album again like the years of decay.
On horrorscope are very fascinating, admirable ideas. But what is very sad, Bobby Gustafson is gone from Overkill. And Overkill was without a very talented guitarist and composer.

I don't say those guitarists on Horrorscope are not good. But???
Overkill made the best also without Gustafson.
This album contains the elements of Overkill style in the hellish madness. Horrorscope is a great introduction that here is no mercy, no weakness and no peace.

Horrorscope starts with a gloomy intro in the "Coma" which is strike to the face. "Infectious" about war like disease. Very awesome vocals, melody, refrain.
Bobby sings very aggressive in the "Blood money". Here is the killing action by all members. "Thanx for nothing" has a pretty good tempo, riffs, refrains, vocals, bass, solo. "Bare bones" continues in in the great style. Intro is the one of the best by overkill. It's mysterious, haunting.
And here is "Horrorscope" with dark bass intro like in "Who tends the fire". The song is with a rolling melody. And very truthful lyrics and of course the unique Bobby's voice.
I personally love the video to this song.
"New machine" is another rolling song, good bass, vocals, refrain, lyrics.
New machine is a cup of hell.
"Frankenstein" is an instrumental rest.
"Live young, die free" seems to be like a born element for The years of decay which should be there but he is here on Horrorscope.
The song is with a very sharp riffs, vocals.
"Nice day for a funeral" is the last hard song. Awesome the end of song.
"Soulitude" is after song The years of decay another great slower song with mainly nice guitar solos and atmosphere.
Horrorscope is a total top with The years of decay album which Overkill will maybe overcome. Maybe.

Probably the closest are to Horrorscope Ironbound, The electric age, White devil armory and The grinding wheel.

Overkill-Feel the fire (my review)

Overkill as the band was born. They started to record their first album. The first flame in their fireplace "Feel the fire" was setting on fire.
There were the albums which were great and successful. Overkill added for thrash metal world the first album in 1985.
And it was a wild and successful age. Their the first art work is full of unique ideas. Overkill is the band which has the best debut album between other big bands(Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica, Exodus).
They did record the album which was with any new ideas for thrash metal. They were composing the songs which showed the new perspective.
Overkill connected the sensual with useful. And Overkill showed that they are skilled like other bands.

The sound is unique because then they changed it.
Guitars are not sharp but sounds majestic and plays very great melodies.
Bassguitar is not clattering but has a good audible sound.
Bobby sounds very young, wild, with energy. He was good enough. Sometimes he also can scream(Rotten to the core, feel the fire).
The album is full of a very great atmosphere like in the "There's no tomorrow, Kill at command" Lyrics are about war, demons, devil, hell, death or some stories.
In my opinion the best songs are-Rotten to the core, Raise the dead, Hammerhead, Feel the fire, Kill at command and Overkill I.

The song Overkill I. is the first about the band.
This album is also with awesome solos. The best is in "Kill at command". This guitar solo is very capricious.
Here on this album was born one of the best thrash metal band.

Feel the fire!
Fire of desire!

Overkill-Taking over(my review)

Overkill was only on the way to the top. They were finding themselves where there were their roots. It was very important. Impulse was to play hard and fast.
But Bobby wasn't singing sharp. He sang brisk and very clean. He didn't scream like a razor yet. But was a very loud siren that breaking the walls.
Overkill created heavy, great melodies with clean vocals. They were unique in that. The sound is tasteful, especially the guitars has a very attractive sound. Lyrics are in the style for Overkill typical but not very. Majestic and admirable performance for this second album.
But Overkill didn't reach the top fully.

The first song is "Deny the cross" which is a very important part of the album. That melody is unique. Bobby sings and then screams in refrain. Bobby makes also a great atmosphere in the song.
"Wrecking crew" is an Overkill's anthem with really awesome, unique refrain.
"Fear his name" and "Use your head" makes another step to the best way. "Fatal if swallowed" has a very catchy melody and refrain.
And the way to the best is "Powersurge" with fast riffs, vocal like a siren, crushing refrain, solo. One of the heaviest songs on album.
"In union we stand" is like Overkill's another anthem. Great song and refrains.
And the best is here. "Electro violence" is the hardest, fastest on album. Wild, angry, merciless, unstoppable violent tempo, solo, vocal. The hell in the album.
Album ends with a mysterious song "Overkill II". The intro is a similar to "Who tends the fire". Catchy melodies, vocals, refrains. Bobby makes a very capricious atmosphere with his singing. The end of "Overkill II" is similar to the beginning of "Overkill III". Overkill created a good end of the album.

Overkill-Under the influence(my review)

The third album is a perfect connection of albums Feel the fire and Taking over. Under the influence is heavier than those two albums and softer than The years of decay. It's a good way to a gold direction. Bobby combines the clean singing with a screamings and his typical style here. The sound is made successful enough. Album cover is absolute my favorite. This work has a very great atmosphere and is an jewel in the Overkill discography like the years of decay.
Album starts with fast song "Shred" that is very great beginning.
"Never say never" is with very awesome intro and technical melodies. "Hello from the gutter" is very known song. Almost played at every concert. Refrain is one of the best. Very successful solo. "Mad gone world" uncompromising song with screaming refrain. "Brainfade" brisk and wild is comparison for this song with cutting riffs, vocals. Impressive refrain, solo.
"Drunken wisdom" the most beautiful acoustic intro which Overkill created.
Interesting lyrics, melody, vocals. The end of the song is very good, nice.
"The end of the line" rolling intro, great refrains. The middle of song is very majestic instrumental part with very beautiful solos.
"Head first" song where DD Verni's bass sounds awesome. And audible. Very impulsive vocals. The unstoppable sharp solo.
"Overkill III" starts with mysterious intro that makes capricious atmosphere. Rolling melody with a tasteful vocals. Very truthful refrain. Pulling solo. The end is also with a mysterious guitar melody which Overkill never created again.
