517 - Overkill Devil By The Tail 2003

Considering the health problems Overkill frontman Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth faced at this period, Overkill has remained one prolific band. Overkill’s CD “Killbox 13” follows on the heels of their live 2 DVD set.
”Devil By The Tail” recalls the days of mighty thrash metal. It finds Overkill still stubbornly refusing to shed its thrash roots -- and refusing to write a throwaway tune, for that matter. The combination of the band's stellar riffs and rock-solid arrangements with Colin Richardson's thick, beefy production is a big, juicy steak waiting to be devoured by any self-respecting carnivore metalhead.
