39/n #Overkill #Metaljourney

Wings of War has a different taste to it. It is very much a thrash metal album but Overkill managed to bring in new elements leaning a tiny bit towards NWOBHM.

And I love it for exactly this.

It's one of their very best and my personal no 2.

Bobby and DD, thank you!

Silvio: "Frankly, you got a problem with authority"
Tony: "All due respect, you got no fucking idea what it's like to be number one".

Start a song with a Sopranos quote and I am all yours.

Do states in the US have anthems?
Because this one should be New Jersey's anthems 👇

"Fuck it, this ends today!" Jesus said to his Apostles.
"Fuck yeah!" they chanted back, put on some thrash metal and started a holy moshpit.

Since it is #ThrashThursday I say yes, this metal journey ends today! Only 2 more to go and they are both bangers.

In 2019 Overkill released their 19th studio album called "Wings of War" and it is - spoiler alert - one of my favourites.

Overkill delivers high quality thrash metal and The Grinding Wheel is no exception.

Just like a grinding wheel Overkill keeps turning round and round and round....

(that was a reference to the title track and my favourite album closer in case you didn't notice)

3rd to last album: The Grinding Wheel from 2017

I love the opener because Bobby Blitz absolutely nails the vocals. It's so damn catchy how he stresses the syllables when he rhymes. He's a master on the vocals for sure.
