Overkill

Overkill sind seit vielen Jahren eine meiner absoluten Lieblingsbands, vielleicht auch gerade deshalb, weil man sie aufgrund des eigenwilligen Gesangs von Fronter Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth und dem Overkill-eigentümlichen Gitarrensound sofort identifizieren kann. Nachdem den Klassiker-tauglichen Frühwerken folgt die kreative Hochphase der Band anfang der 90er mit den genialen Alben "The Years of Decay", dem absolut unterbewerteten "Horrorscope", den krachenden "W.F.O." und "The Killing Kind", sowie dem charismatischen Live-Doppelpack "10 Years of Wrecking your Neck". Danach folgten hochklassige, allerdings weniger mitreißende Alben, bis sich die New Yorker Thrasher mit dem Live-Knaller "Wrecking Everything" und dem Studioalbum "Killbox 13" eindrucksvoll im neuen Jahrtausend zurckmelden.
