OVERKILL To Include Portion Of Wacken Live Show On Upcoming Album
OVERKILL frontman Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth has issued the following update:
"Welcome aboard...we're back from Wacken...and holding in our greasy, little hands the footage from a night well spent with an international metal crowd, on a chilly August night in Germany. Looks like you are going to get to share in it, even after the fact; as we look to include some of that Wacken night in the release of Immortalis, this October, 9th (via Bodog Music).
So what's new kids? Keeping your heads in that up and down? Horns up? Here too, seems we have a helluva year planned...touring...video...and your general fucking around all of the planet.
We got underway with the project quite awhile back, before the Gigantour...but didn't finish until this past July. I think the most time ever taken for a release, by us....and in our opinion well worth the extra time. Another self-produced project, from the bowels of a dark NJ studio. It's all about the end result....and top notch it is. Randy Blythe (LAMB OF GOD) stepped in to give the track 'Skull And Bones', the ultimate hellish vocal duet vibe....man that motherfucker is loud!
We will have some of the footage here...yes here, for you, yes you to see.
As we are revamping this whole page to fit the new release. A ton of new fun features....like "shoot ur least favorite band member" and a hangover section for the wrecked-wreckingcrew :)
Ron (Lipnicki - drums) stepped up and knocked it out of the park....the best "hands" in OK, hands down! I think when a guy enters this type of situation...the
Adrenaline is at such a high level he becomes contagious, like a "good" disease. He shines throughout the record...and you'll know it from the opener, 'Devil's In The Mist'.
We look forward to seeing you on the road. And you can check back with here as the other guys will blog in on
occasion....to keep you all updated.....once they all complete their, 'English, as a second language' course.
Best, from the Gutter, BB"
