Search - Overkill :: ReliXIV

2005 marks the twenty-year anniversary of OVERKILL?s debut, Feel the Fire. This year offers metal heads their fourteenth disc, RELIXIV on Spitfire Records, a ten-song collection that explores and explodes through their twenty-year history of metal, thrash, groove and the like. RELIXIV is an aggressive standout through their metal journey. The writing for RELIXIV was done during the touring for KILLBOX 13 and during the spring and summer of 2004. The disc was recorded at GEAR RECORDING in Shrewsbury, NJ, in October and November of ?04. Recorded, mixed and produced by the band, RELIXIV takes the "hands on" focus and approach. A project envisioned and brought to fruition by the band, from the first notes of "Within Your Eyes" to the last HEY of "Old School". The lineup for RELIXIV remains the same, DD Verni (Bass), Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth (Vox), Dave Linsk and Derek Tailor (Guitars) and long time drummer, Tim Mallere. "The band has gelled" according to Linsk, "we?re playing as if we have been together forever". "We know what we are", states Blitz; "a metal band, and we make metal records". RELIXIV is the pounding proof of that, while revisiting their past and moving into their future. OVERKILL plans extensive touring in support of the new disc. US shows are booked as well as a headlining European tour and festivals.
