| 3.5 great | Voivod STAFF | February 28th 19 |
19th Overkill album is a textbook case of a great album in which the drummer spurs the rest of the band in terms of urgency; Jason Bittner is fuckin' killing it behind the drum kit. Overall, New Jersey natives are solid enough to allow their prospective audience to listen to the album from start to finish, but they are running on gas fumes for some time now... Favourite track: the punky Welcome to the Garden State, Batshitcrazy, Hole In My Soul. Stream: http://musicmp3.ru/artist_overkill__album_the-wings-of-war.html

Yet again, my opinion on this album was grown quite a bit since the last time I listened to
it. It's undeniably their weakest record from the 2010's, but it's still leaps and bounds
above what most other thrash acts are releasing nowadays. Good luck finding a band this old
releasing music with this much intensity.
*Bumping this up from a 3.5 to a 4.

The Wings of War is another masterpiece. A powerful thrash metal record and this album definitely holds its own sound. Don't judge this album before listening through all songs. The album closer "Hole In My Soul" is a great song and is likely the best thrasher of the album. The Wings of War may only be missing an epic doom cut like "Skullkrusher" or "Horrorscope".

OK, here's my minority report: This is as good as anything they did since Ironbound. Initially I was very sceptical, prepared to disregard old guys, but this album works even better than The Electric Age and White Devil Armory for me. Oh, and it's better than just "a solid slice of thrash metal." The album is pretty diverse, catchy when it's needed, Bobby utilises full spectre of his abilities, from the harshest to more melodic singing, and they did try to expand the palette. So, maybe give it a try.

Much better than The Grinding Wheel. This is probably the best I could imagine them sounding right now.
