Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Feel the Fire' captures Overkill laying the hyper-energetic foundation of East Coast thrash metal with an unrelenting, raw intensity. Blitz Ellsworth's soaring, theatrical vocals cut through blistering speed metal riffs that heavily embrace the rebelliousness of punk and the grandiosity of traditional heavy metal. The record is a historic, aggressive pillar of the burgeoning American underground.
