Overkill totally rock. They're largely considered to be the FIRST thrash metal band to ever exist! I love the songs "Wrecking Crew", "Fatal If Swallowed", and "Hello From The Gutter"! I gotta get some CDs by them soon!!!!!!!

I should note here that while this band is considered to be very good by a lot of people, they have never demonstrated such to me. I saw them live at Wacken, and in 45 minutes they played precisely two good songs, "Rotten To The Core" and "Old School", which were originally released 20 years apart. While continuing to be a working band rather than living off your back catalog is a good thing, this was a completely blown opportunity on one of the biggest stages in Europe.

I may just also not have a representative view of their recorded output; W.F.O. was a total waste of cassette tape back when I got it in '96, and while I think we had Years of Decay at the radio station, that didn't really make an impression on me either. Based on my other experiences with this band, I have exactly zero motivation, at present, to ever acquire anything else from them.

Oh well. I'm sorry to hear that.
