A proper Overkill post was long overdue at the Church. The opportunity of the new release, another punch in the face, makes it relevant today. For nostalgia reasons, still remembering that hot day of 1985 when the LP was acquired after a 100 km trip to the big city, the favorite Church entry in this monumental discography is Feel The Fire, one of those classic albums of the 80s that delivers only classic, ultra-addictive songs, and of course zero filler. The more the 80s fade in the background, the hotter they become. Overkill deserve eternal praise and admiration for such longevity and their steady output of very high-quality speed and thrash metal. The style navigates between hard rocking heavy metal of the Metal Church side with punk abrasion and the blatantly hostile thrashing of the Exodus sort. There is no bad album here, even the one you are supposed to dislike is great, it is still Overkill. The one thing that Overklill do not do is surprise the fans: when a new album comes out, we all know what to expect, and everybody smiles with even more contentment. Nobody wants Overkill (nor Sodom!) to stray away from what do best. There are variations and expansions, especially in the late 80s/early 90s releases, but nothing that would scream Cold Lake or Hammerheart. Rock until you drop, and thrash 'til zer forever! Four decades of thrash and then some!!! NB: several entries are Japanese versions with bonus tracks. Remove brackets and unzip: [feel the firerizer]
!ZER Overkill ZER!
