OVERKILL: New Video Interview With BOBBY 'BLITZ' ELLSWORTH - Feb. 23, 2013

On February 14, Metal Mark of SkullsNBones.com conducted an interview with vocalist Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth of New Jersey thrash metal veterans OVERKILL at the Best Buy Theater in New York City. You can now watch the chat below.

OVERKILL was forced to drop off the "Dark Roots Of Thrash" tour with TESTAMENT last week due to Bobby's ongoing bout with pneumonia.

OVERKILL's new album, "The Electric Age", sold 6,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 77 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was recorded and mixed at Gear Recording Studios in New Jersey, owned and operated by OVERKILL bassist D.D. Verni.

Probably one of the most underated metal bands in existence. Blitz sounds like such a cool dude. Hope he gets well and Overkill creates another killer album.
