OVERKILL-Immortalis (my review)

 


The last stop before great album Ironbound. It's a summary of everything they recorded since Necroshine. The gusher of fire, explosion of fantastic thrashing music with old and new or newer ideas. 
The rank of highlights is audible here. I think many songs from this album will forever be immortal. The best tune is undoubtedly "Overkill V...The Brand". Full of excellent, stunning melodies, moments and lyrics. It's a continuation of a saga about Overkill. 
Full album is with plenty of admirable moments. It's almost 50 minutes of solid, wonderful thrash metal adventure. The big bat was going stronger and growing to crush everything. It's decently improved version of ReliXIV. It has own soul and heart, claws and teeth. It's a bitting snake full of poison.
Rapid metal ride full of rumbling guitars, shooting drums and clanking bassguitar. Bobby sings variously. He sings and screams occasionally. Album contains lyrics full of stories created by their fantasy. Choruses and vocal melodies are a wonderful ornament.
I think they were on a good way to such excellent albums like Ironbound or Electric age. In new millennium this is one of their best albums. It's their characteristic, typical style of thrash metal. Inimitable metal spirit, energy and juggernaut. Overkill is always great, doesn't matter if the song is slow or fast.
It's about musical attraction and magic. And about original style. Overkill goes, rides and walks by their own way. 
Album is miscellaneous. With a different tempos. Immortalis is an immortal dose of Overkill and shining star in heavy metal constellation. And in their discography too.

OVERKILL-ReliXIV (my review)

 


Thunderstorm is now stronger and rumbles inside the atmosphere of metal world. 
Thrashing lightnings strikes and burn the ground. A great destructive hurricanes has appeared. A volcanic bat gush a fire. Yeah, this is excessive, destructive thrash metal force. This is Overkill. A monster with many great songs also on this album. It's an elixir of power, persistence and energy. They've fed up the metal world with another hot album. 
This explosive musical jewel contains a guitar riffs full of hard stones. Crushing better than before. Clanking bassguitar is like a furious shark in metal ocean. 
Cannonade of drums is driving the storm on and on. Screaming siren, Bobby Blitz, his singing awakes the metal volcanoes. He is unique and excellent. 
Lyrics tells many insane, impressive stories. The best ones are in "Bats in the belfry". This song is also the best on this album. ReliXIV is a thrash metal elixir and relics.

OVERKILL-Bloodletting (my review)


 
The bright continuation of Necroshine was a natural way. Natural evolution. 
Overkill entered to new millennium with a newer face also with previous album.
It was a way to typical thrashing, to great Ironbound. 
Overkill was simply getting better. This groove/thrash metal thunderstorm is an amazing musical adventure. Energy and power is more highlighted. Naturally, it's a harder piece of metal. A thunder in the metal sky. It's also a very attractive thrashing madness. 
Consistence is inside a solid guitar riffs and sound. Colossal, rumbling drums and piercing, clanking bassguitar is something insanely excellent. 
Bobby is in great performance. Sharp, powerful, energetic vocals. 
Lyrics are impressive again. 
Bloodletting is an improved version of Necroshine album. It shows a thunderous face of this band which has recorded many great albums, songs. On this piece of metal they've proved they're a great, unique songwritters again. In own essence, it's a various artwork. Admirable mass of precious metal.

OVERKILL-Necroshine (my review)


Shining Necroshine was slowly showing a better way to thrash metal in Overkill style which they play now.
There's a little sign to be harder. The way to some roots, to better newer performance.
Overkill recorded more interesting songs than on previous album. More impressive and attractive ones. With more energy and ideas. Also album cover is more shining. 
Music is awaken here. Inside groove metal and thrash metal madness, of course, this is more about thrashing, fast and hard hit. 
Guitars are an explosion of great riffs, solos. It's like a battle of melodies in musical battlefield. 
Here is a vividness, vibrancy and pleasure. Clanking bassguitar is something cool and stunning. 
Energetic drums in this ride totally rules. Bobby finally sings like before. Energy and power is gushing from his voice and band too. Another fantastic thing is that Bobby's sister Mary sings background vocals in "Let us prey" and with him in "Revelation".
Lyrics are also more interesting and more characteristic for this band. Necroshine is resurrection and betterment. They were on the way to better albums. Necroshine proudly shines in heavy metal sky. 
It's a stunning ornament in their discography. One of my favorite Overkill albums. In som essence it is a masterpiece. It's pleasure to listen. Necroshine is a bright beginning to a new Overkill years from 2000 to nowadays. They've found their new face. Necroshine is hot and cold at the same time.

OVERKILL-From the underground and below (my review)


Another mix of groove metal and thrash metal. It's more about groove metal. 
Solid piece of metal experiment. Some songs are really different enough. Or some parts in tunes. For example "Save me".  So it's something newer for them.
But what can I write? They've had such period. In some songs are some excellent riffs even if this album is not totally the best. But unique in its own way and essence. 
This music comes from the underground to shake the ground. And it's doing very well with that sound. This unique album contains alterative parts in songs. There are different, occasionally strange moods. 
Some melodies are sombre, slow, dark, or fast and heavy. Guitars in this musical mix plays riffs, solos in different speeds and ways. Bass is damped, not audible like on "W.F.O."
Drums are with a good sound. And vocals? Bobby sings in some parts of tunes unusually. He mainly sings in lower tones. Lyrics are about various things in their style. In their own songwriting philosophy. 
In my opinion, the best songs are "It lives", "Long time dying", F.U.C.T.", "The rip 'n' tear". 
And the most, totally most beautiful tune is "Promises". It's a stunning, shining star. Japanese bonus track "Space trucking" by Deep Purple is pretty cool cover.

OVERKILL-W.F.O. (my review)


 After "I hear black" album they started to be harder. But it was an experimental period too. And hard attack starts immediately with "Where it hurts?". It's a great charge.
The groove metal connected with thrash metal sounds perfectly in their own way. They did it very well. 
After all these years this metal work sounds surprisingly great. All this album have an attractive and unique atmosphere. 
Every musical instrument is audible very well. Mainly D.D. Verni's bassguitar. It really makes this band an unique musical wonderment. 
"W.F.O." is a rapid torpedo in metal ocean. Explosion of volcano, tornado of mass destruction. Guitars are demolishing, playing absolutely breathtaking riffs, melodies, solos. It's a supernatural power. 
A typical, unique and excellent bassguitar is an important part not only for this album. I can't imagine Overkill without D.D. and his bassguitar. It's inseparable. 
Drums are a fantastic shoot in every song. Bobby Blitz sings ,as always, good. His voice, something between screaming and singing is for this band typical. Without him this band would be boring. Bobby and D.D. gives a special magic to this band. Lyrics are full of insane things typical for this band. They are amazing too. 
It's hard to choose one best song. Overkill recorded a hidden treasure. It's a masterpiece. One of their hardest albums. 
Overkill is exploding with stunning power here.

Wrecking everything (my lyric dedicated to Overkill)


 Wrecking everything

[Dedicated to Overkill]
[Lukas Skully]

I'm blitz in the stormy night 
I've wrapped a whole fright 
In this web of iron I catch the might 
A big bat sitting in the cold cellar 
And the loot have no choice 

[Chorus 1:]
It's not you 
Don't know what to do 
It's me 
Still better than you 

[Chorus 2:]
It's not you 
It's me 
I'm wrecking everything 

I've been standing against the blight 
Trying to change the dark to light 
Mind always needs a clear sight 
I release a big bat and let him to hunt 
And my loot have no choice 

[Chorus 1:]

It's not you 
It's me 
I'm wrecking...

Hey! 
It's new day 

Hey!
It's new way 

Hey!
I burn it in the ray 

Hey!
I throw the ruins into bay 

The ground's breaking on the hills 
The mass of fear under wheels 
You were erased in twisting reels 
A big bat has returned to metal cave 
Looking forward to another hunt 

[Chorus 1:]

[Chorus 2:]

ANTHRAX-Everybody's got a plan (song review)


The third released song from their new upcoming album. 
I listen to this song and feels a great, really great euphoria. In this song is a power of metal, music and delight. Atmosphere is so wonderful. Surely I can write this is one of their best songs. There's an energy and impression. 
It's a dose, a solid dose of right, attractive and infectious music. It's a very precious piece of metal. Pleasure to listen.
This tune starts with a catchy guitar riffs. Just guitars plays a gorgeous, hard and heavy melodies. Mainly in chorus. There's a special, unique atmosphere with these jumping, confusing riffs. Guitar solo is very well adapted to the mood of this song. 
Bassguitar, specially in this song, is a brilliant ornament. 
Always impressive might of drums will gratify your ears even if this tune ain't fast. Vocals, Joey's voice is more than wonderful, better than excellent. His singing have no mistakes. There's always a magic in his voice and performance. With him, this band is the most unique in all thrash metal world. Lyric is pretty cool, there's always a truth inside. A big piece of truth. 
I think, and that's right, Anthrax have proved to create an interesting song again. It has own will, mind, heart and soul. Inside this tune is a power of their style, life, music and meaning.

Over the planet 
We appears 
With fistful of metal 

We are spreading the disease 
With our music

ANTHRAX-The edge of perfection (song review)


 A second released song from their new album contains indeed an atypical atmosphere. It's a different musical adventure. 
They really know to create an epic, beautiful and emotional metal song. It's hard but also a tender tune. There's a slow, silent intro. After it the mysterious storm comes. In this song these fast and slower parts are changing and shifting. 
It's a miscellaneous enough tune. Very, very odd song from this band. 
I gotta write it's something new. Some ideas and feelings that comes out from this tune are newer. Guitars plays odd, mysterious, tender, hard, fast and also slower riffs and melodies. Solo is pretty melodic and attractive. 
Bass is in some parts melodic and in others wild. Powerful drums are beating in the tempo of the song. Vocals are absolutely unique, in chorus breath-taking and stunning.
Vocals gives a special atmosphere to this tune. Lyric is truthful and impressive. 
I don't think it's the best Anthrax song but it's a piece of odd musical mass.
