Overkill (Scorched) 14/04/2023

[metalrunner]

Pas convaincu par le premier titre mais bon Overkill c est le live donc a voir .

[Tailgunner]

Tu parles de ce titre ?



Je le trouve plutôt bon !

[Everflow]

Je le trouve potable en soi, mais peut-être en deçà de la qualité des sorties du groupe ces dernières années.

[Everflow]

[Everflow]

Là j'adhère

[metalrunner]

Très bon album peut être un ou deux titres moins bien mais sinon c est vraiment bien .

[Dark Avenger]

Personnellement, je suis bluffé par la qualité de cet album. Pour moi, c'est leur meilleur album des années 2000, voire même peut être ce qu'ils ont fait de mieux depuis Years of Decay.

[Globox666]

ah oui quand même ! Faut que j'aille l'écouter si potentiellement meilleur qu"'Ironbound" ou même "Electric Age" que j'aimais beaucoup. J'avais trouvé "White Devil Armory" très sympa mais sans plus et pas écouté les 2 suivants.

[Dark Avenger]

J'aime beaucoup Ironbound et aussi les 4 albums qui ont suivi ce dernier, mais Scorched leur est supérieur, je trouve. Super équilibré, varié, chaque chanson a sa personnalité, et elles sont toutes très bien. Et au niveau de la production, c'est aussi le meilleur son qu'ils aient jamais eu (depuis leur époque "moderne", on va dire)

Jason Bittner quitte le groupe :

“On August 1, 2024, I played the Vagos Metal Fest in Portugal, and it was the last show I will play in the band Overkill. For a while now I have been juggling a few different bands along with Overkill, and I knew at some point something would have to give since I simply can’t be three places at once. Over the course of this last year, my schedule has reached that breaking point.

“At this time Shadows Fall is working towards completion of our new material that will take us back out on the road sometime in 2025, as well as our fall shows we have booked for the rest of this year celebrating 20 years of The War Within.

“Compounded on top of this is my new band, Metal Blade recording artists Category 7 whose album just hit the shelves last month and will start touring soon through 2025. All of this adds up to something having to ‘take a break’, so as of today I no longer play drums in Overkill so I can concentrate solely on the bands that I am a full member/owner of.

“Now don’t worry – they currently have another great drummer already learning the material, and he will be ready to do battle for the upcoming tours. I would like to thank EVERYONE in the Overkill extended family for 7 1/2 years of laughs, killer shows, and fun around the globe.

“All our crew members throughout my run, our agents Dolores Lokas and Mike Monterulo, my tech Animal for always having my back (Shake and Bake), as well as all of our crew past and present, the SKULLKRUSHERS (much love Jurgen), and all the fans who supported my tenure in the band, I love you all, thank you, and will miss you on the European and King Diamond tours… but I’ll see you out there with Shadows Fall and Category 7.”

Il est remplacé par l'ancien batteur de Venom Inc :

New Jersey thrashers OVERKILL have recruited Jeramie Kling (VENOM INC.) as their new drummer. Kling joins the veteran outfit as the replacement for Jason Bittner, who announced his exit from OVERKILL earlier this month.

OVERKILL said in a statement: "We're gearing up for an epic European and North American tour this August through December and are excited to announce a special addition for the tours. Here comes a thunderous old friend, who had done work with us, as well as THE ABSENCE & VENOM INC. Please welcome, with drum sticks in hand, Jeramie Kling!"

Jeramie added: "Words cannot express how stoked I am to share the stage with my good friends in OVERKILL. We will be laying waste to everyone throughout Europe and North America (with KING DIAMOND). Check the dates online and come out to see an unforgettable night of metal \m/".
