We have a lot of love for Overkill here at Worship Metal because no matter what the era, these East-Coast Thrashers have always delivered the goods.

After 16 albums, you could forgive them for taking their foot off the gas but that could not be further from the truth; if anything, they’re just getting faster and more aggressive with age.

White Devil Armory, their 17th album in a career that will celebrate 30 years in 2015, is an immediate highlight in a back catalogue containing its fair share of stellar releases.

“Armorist” attacks like a rabid pit-bull let off the leash; antagonistic and armed to the teeth with Speed-Metal precision and persistence while “Bitter Pill” brings it down a notch, employing a groove-laden, mid-paced chug familiar to fans of Overkill’s mid 90’s output.

Injecting spit and bile into each slamming track, these Thrash veterans are still showing bands half their age how it should be done.

Thrash just wouldn’t be Thrash without Overkill.
