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.
