OVERKILL The Electric Age CD (2012)

Some bands age into comfort. Overkill aged into fury. The Electric Age from 2012 is proof, a record that arrived nearly three decades into their career and hit harder than half the bands formed that year.

Coming off the momentum of Ironbound, which had reminded the metal world why New Jersey thrash deserves more respect than it gets, The Electric Age kept the foot down. Dave Linsk's riffwork is relentless, Ron Lipnicki locked in on drums, and Bobby Blitz delivers the kind of snarling, melodic aggression that made the band a fixture in any serious thrash collection. This is groove metal with genuine teeth, the kind of album you put on when you need something with actual conviction behind it.

2012 full length album, standard CD. USA release. Thrash/groove metal.

Fans of: Anthrax, Testament, Exodus, Megadeth, Artillery, Destruction, Forbidden.
