Overkill
Overkill is one of the foundational American thrash metal bands, formed in New Jersey in 1980 and active for over four decades with an output of twenty studio albums. Signed to Atlantic Records in 1986, they scored their early commercial peak with Taking Over (1987), Under the Influence (1988), and The Years of Decay (1989), maintaining chart presence through the 1990s with albums including Horrorscope (1991) and W.F.O. (1994). Vocalist Bobby 'Blitz' Ellsworth and bassist D.D. Verni have remained constant throughout the band's history, giving Overkill a longevity and consistency that few of their peers have matched.
