scan the photo and use that iron on paper with your computer's printer. It's from the internet and it's perfectly okay to do it. Afterall, it is merely a cival matter and you'll have no legal reprocutions.

Confirmed today on Blabbermouth that this is indeed the new Overkill LP. I got tickets for Killfest 2 in May, hope they play some new tracks from this album. There's no way I'm going to survive the pit.

Besides, those iron on printer papers suck. It works for a one time wear, but fades away fast and they're obviously ameturish (sic?) in appearance.

I saw Overkill in 2010 on the Ironbound tour. The crowd was pretty good, I was i. the front row and I didn't have any issues. It wasn't anything like at a Slayer show.

This new album cover kicks ass! If the songs are anything like that of Ironbound, then Overkill are firing on all cylinders.

In-the-studio video of the Overkill guys workin' on the new album!

Awesome !

Hells Yes!!! March 27th can't get here soon enough!

Hell yeah! Sounds sick!

From the song playing in the background i'm really liking the sound.

As the years go by, Overkill is slowly turning into my to-go band when I'm in the mood for thrash. This sounds great.

Very cool. Sounds like Overkill. Looking forward to it.

As usual, i'm looking forward to the new one!

I'm so stoked about the forthcoming LP that I wrote a fanboy blog entry about it and the band:

looking forward to this as well

AWESOME band! This WILL be mine!

Just heard a few seconds of riffs on Youtube. Sounds promising.

I must get this, as I have all their other cds. I've found their discography to be more consistant than many of the major players that originated in the eighties thrash scene.

That's because they never experimented nor dabbled into other styles the way Kreator, Slayer, Exodus and Sodom did

they ventured into groove metal just like many of the others. not saying it was bad, just saying...

Every metal band sold out in the 90s (at least the ones who didn't break up).

thanks for the video freddy, looks like they are having fun making this record. ironbound was really good, i dought i'll buy this one. I have too many cd's already, and I don't have more room for now

Maybe if those bands had sold a ton of records that would be a valid observation, but most of these bands were lucky to survive at all. So I don't think "selling out" went that well for them.

Plus the whole attitude of "selling out" is flawed in my book.

Wouldn't you say Judas Priest "sold out" by transforming themselves into a speed-metal band on Painkiller...so they would fit in better with the "then-current" sound of the newer bands? I would, it may be a reverse sell out, but it's a sell out all the same.

I'm not saying that selling out worked great for them, but they were certainly all trying that approach.

Not that I blame them. It's a matter of degree, and also the overall quality of the art (even if it is played in a trendy style).
