OVERKILL: The Atlantic Years 1986-1996
Rating: 8.5/10
After a decade of thrashing through the underground scene, OVERKILL finally got their shot at the big leagues with their signing to Atlantic Records in the late 80s. This compilation album takes us through their journey during this pivotal time, highlighting some of their most iconic tracks.
Opening with the blistering "Hello From The Gutter," the album kicks off on a high note, with Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth's signature wails cutting through the chaos. The relentless energy doesn't let up as we journey through classics like "Elimination" and "Wrecking Crew," each track oozing with that quintessential OVERKILL attitude.
One of the standout moments on the album has to be the inclusion of their cover of the Subhumans' "Fuck You." OVERKILL takes the punk anthem and makes it their own, injecting their thrash metal flair into every riff and drum fill.
While some may argue that the compilation overlooks some of the band's deeper cuts, there's no denying the impact of their Atlantic years. OVERKILL solidified their place in the metal pantheon during this time, and this album serves as a perfect reminder of their dominance.
In conclusion, OVERKILL: The Atlantic Years 1986-1996 is a must-listen for any fan of thrash metal. It's a wild ride from start to finish, showcasing the band at the height of their powers. So crank up the volume, grab a beer, and let OVERKILL take you on a journey through metal mayhem.
