OVERKILL: New Songtitles Revealed

May 17, 2007

As BLABBERMOUTH.NET first reported on May 10, veteran East Coast thrashers OVERKILL have now confirmed that they have signed with Bodog Music for the release of their follow-up to 2005's "ReliXIV", tentatively due in the fall. A U.S. tour will immediately follow the album's release.

Commented the band: "Well it's been a while since we finished Gigantour, just wanted to get you up to date. After lengthy negotiations, OVERKILL is very happy to announce we have just signed a new multi-album worldwide deal with Bodog Records. The signing reunites OVERKILL with Jonny and Marsha Z (Zazula) who formed and ran the legendary Megaforce Records for many years, and now run Bodog.

"Recording of the new album started last November at DD's [Verni, bass] studio (Gear Recording Studio) in New Jersey, and will have a early October 2007 release date. The band is mixing right now and is scheduled to finish July 1. Some new songtitles include 'Skull and Bones', 'Walk though Fire' and 'Hell Is'. Look for the guys back on the road in the fall with the new release."

A video clip of OVERKILL vocalist Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth discussing how he suffered a stroke in 2002 was recently posted on the web site of "Get Thrashed: The Story of Thrash Metal", the much-anticipated documentary profiling the thrash metal scene of the early Eighties and its impact on the music scene.
