Your chance to pick up an Overkill classic that is not easily found and is incredibly rare in this condition..


This is the original 1988 vinyl release of the classic album from , produced by thrash legend Alex Perialas.


From Encyclopedia Metallum:

This is Overkill's third album,and they seem to be going for a more commercial sound here, without really leaving the sound of their earlier works. The album has many standouts, "Shred", "Hello From the Gutter", and "End of the Line" are all great, all time favorites of mine. They strike a great balance between thrash and a somewhat pop feel. This album gave Overkill their first minor hit in the form of "Hello from the Gutter", it cracked the top 40.

 

Overkill's third album is little different than their first two albums. It is less traditional thrash than their last records, but it doesn't veer off from the path much. The album overall feels less "hardcore" and has a somewhat happy feel to it. Party thrash metal, a real treat. The songs are all fast, thrashy numbers, that fans of old-school thrash metal will enjoy. None of the songs here take themselves too seriously, and this is the albums real strength. It is a legitimately fun album to listen to.

 

Member performances wise, this is a tight album musically. None of the songs seem to push the band too far, and the songs always feel well done. Now, there aren't any technical stunts here, but the songs are complex enough to stay interesting for the duration of most of the songs. This is a band that knows what they can do and is sure to stay within their limits.
