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.
