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!

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)

"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.

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.

Here we are, album number 20: "Scorched".

This album was my #ThrashMetal album of the year 2023.
My runner up of the "Old Farts Still Got It" album of the #AlbumOddTheYear2023 awards and my overall no 16 of my 2023 AOTY list.

Let's see how it holds up in direct comparison to their gigantic and high quality back catalogue...

@Kitty I think this was your first Overkill album, right? Do you still hear that Bag o' Bones rattling?
