Under The Influenceby Overkill

While Overkill's next album "The Years of Decay" showed a perfectly matured well-seasoned group lineup, this album "Under The Influence" concentrates more on faster rythems and catchy beats. The album opens with "Overkill III" and "Head First" open with very charactistic Gustafson guitar chops, DD's metallic bass in the background, and Blitz's high tight vocals that do not disappoint. "Brain Fade", "Shred", and "Never Say Never" all have a similar driving classic 80's Overkill unique guitar/bass playing that all Overkill metal fans can sit and rock out to. While with song names like "Mad Gone World" and "Drunken Wisdom" speak for themselves as to the ferocity and wildness of them. And last but not least is "Hello From The Gutter" and "End of the Line". "End of the Line" gallops along with meaty riffs and story book sounding vocals. "Hello From The Gutter" is probably the best known Overkill song among the pre-1990's speed/thrash metalheads. Yet another Overkill album that needs to be added to your metal library!!
