Overkill - Ironbound

[AeonicSlumber]

This is coming from someone who is throughouly disgusted with 95% of all of these modern albums by classic thrash bands (Megadeth, Kreator, Slayer, Tesament, Exodus, and the like can suck it. I don't care for their new stuff at all) with their as well as the vast majority of the 'retro thrash' trend.

HOLY SHIT!

This album is incredible. These are riffs son, no wank to be found.

First day buyer. I might try to go to that special NY show too.

I always felt these guys should have enjoyed the same level of success as Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax.

Actually I'm going to take it back; Destruction's 'The Antichrist' and Exodus' 'Tempo Of The Damned' are awesome "modern" thrash albums. That's about it imho.

But yeah this album pwns hard.

I kind of feel that way, but then they probably wouldn't be putting out so many consistently awesome albums (actually they do have a few duds, but they certainly wouldn't put out an album like this!). This was mixed by Tägtgren too, so the production's great for the most part. No sterile, soulless Andy Sneap/Logan Mader sound to be found!

What is the release date for this jewel?

 

[TychoCelchu]

Feb 9 for us

Zod, though I like Blitz's voice, I think he may be the reason that they didn't make it as big as the others. His voices seems to be more of an acquired taste than the others.

 

[AngraRULES]

I have to be the one to ask this, and just out of plain curiosity.

How can you possibly not like albums such as Kreator's Enemy of God or Hordes of Chaos or Testament's The Formation of Damnation?

Probably true.

Aeonic Slumber. It was the first post in the thread. I should've quoted him.

Testament's latest was a flaccid shadow of a once mighty band. There wasn't a single song on that album that I can remember even except for More Than Meets The Eye. Cheesy lyrics (even by thrash standards), soulless, sterile production (Really now? How dare you give Alex Skolnick such a thin lead guitar sound Sneap? You deserve to have your studio closed down for such blasphemy!)

And the Kreator albums are lame attempts at melodeath. Meh. No balls.

You've got to be kidding. As soon as I stop laughing...nah, just forget it.

Interesting. We won't argue over our different opinions, but I disagree completely. Though, again, interesting that you thought that, especially about Testament's.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Fair enough! Anyways, back to how awesome this Overkill is...

 

[TychoCelchu]

I even like Overkill's "bad" albums i.e. ReflexIV

You didn't like Megadeths' "Endgame"? Hoy Shit that was one of the best "comeback" albums I've heard. I know its a matter of opinion but all I hear from folks is that its one of their favorites this year as well as mine.

 

[lifesadream]

I want to hear this new cd so bad. Overkill has been my favorite band for over 20 years, I am traveling somewhere in April to see them.

 

[RagePSV]

One of my all time favorite bands and the first show I ever went too. Sad the only way to see a video was on Beavis and Butthead....
