Overkill The Grinding Wheel

2017, Although everybody seems to have a different account of who came first in the world of New York/New Jersey area thrash metal, it seems certain that New Jersey's Overkill have stayed around the longest, and have never let their fans down by remaining musically consistent and true to their roots for over thirty years and many great full length albums. Through much hard work and a slew of infamous live performances at New York area clubs like L'Amours, Overkill established a reputation as a blue-collar, working man's metal band. After the band released a self-financed EP in 1984, Overkill broke onto the scene in 1985 with FEEL THE FIRE, a crushing thrash assault on Megaforce Records, the label to beat when it came to 80's thrash. Witness Overkill's 18th album of blistering yet precise and thought-provoking thrash magic, THE GRINDING WHEEL, a record on which thrash's ultimate team of five machined parts shows up and executes to perfection... with a little punk thrown in for bad measure.
