OVERKILL Reveal New Album, 'The Wings Of War', Out February 22, 2019!

Legendary New Jersey thrashers OVERKILL will unleash their 19th studio record, The Wings Of War, on February 22, 2019 via Nuclear Blast .

Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth comments, "It was a blast making The Wings of War! It is something old feeling new again, as our chemistry was altered by the addition of Jason Bittner. I was curious from the get-go, how would it pan out? I think what we accomplished here is a new, upgraded Overkill that embraced the new chemistry, while taking our roots into the present. The new formula produced not only more raw power, but more places to go with melody, a win, win. The key is being not only interested in the change, but part of it. I'll tell you what, it's still fun as hell making Overkill records.

The Wings Of War was recorded at Gear Recording Studio in New Jersey, SKH Studio in Florida and Jrod Productions with engineering handled by DD and Dave. The album was produced by the band while Chris "Zeuss" Harris.handled the mixing and mastering. Travis Smith (NEVERMORE, OPETH, SOILWORK, DEATH...) was once again enlisted to create the artwork for the album.

Yeah!

Bring it on

Blitz should join Trump's hype machine. Every new album is the best the world has ever seen.

Don't have to hear it, just buy.

Man! They are on a roll with the last half dozen albums and I don't see them stopping now. Great news! Thanks for the info, Keith.

Yesss!!!

Instant buy....have been more than happy with the recent output

Booyah!!!

I am stoked for this album.

I'm certain it will be just as good (if not better) as their other recent albums. They have been on a roll the last ten years!

Indeed.

Can't wait for a first sample.

Can't wait to hear them with Jason. He's a great drummer!

definitely!!!

Here's the first track - "Last Man Standing"

It says video not available

Here's the official version:

Neat-o. Will require more than one listen to fully sink in but hey, it's Overkill, I'm a fan boy, it's all good.

On a side note, sometimes I really wonder how YouTube's algorithms work. As soon as the Overkill track ended, the next thing that came up via AutoPlay was a video called "Everything Wrong With Mary Poppins in 15 Minutes Or Less." I fail to see the connection between the two.

Excellent track. Nothing new but the energy remains the same

Looking forward to hearing the entire album.

After I watched the video a live clip of  recent Suicidal Tendencies popped up. So you got cheated. Maybe

I may be a bit biased toward them being a huge fanboy, but I think that song is great!
