New York thrash quartet Overkill was formed in 1984 by vocalist Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth and guitarist Bobby Gustafson, also including bassist D.D. Verni and drummer Sid Falck. The band garnered a reputation for brutal, pounding speed and technique, but lacked the musical diversity to compete with heavy hitters like Metallica; still, they built up a strong following in the metal underground with albums like 1985's Taking Over and 1988's Under the Influence. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
My first concert at age 13 - Overkill opening for Slayer...in 85 (wolf is now gray at muzzle) holy crap they tore that place UP. Can't believe how many times I've seen them over so many years.
I know it's been mentioned already but really, that's all we get is a short paragraph of a bio about this band? Considering all the albums, lineup changes and how popular they once were, they deserve way more props. Get with it, Pandora!
Also check out their guitarist Dave Linsk's other band SPEED\KILL/HATE Dave is awesome on guitar and I have known their vocalist Bob for several years now
I was fourteen when I saw my first metal show, it was OVERKILL!! The years of decay tour, stadium arena annex, Grand Rapids, Michigan!! 1989 they changed my life forever!!
The fuuuck??? they Pandora forgot about Feel The Fire! that is one of my favorite Overkill albums

That bio is Messed up they for got the roots of cuming from the Lubricunts in the New Jersey and new york punk seen. And the albums feel the fire, the killing kind. And Hello founding member Rat Skates! The WHOLE OVERKILL story is full of ups and downs and triumphs and misfortunes, but it all boils down to. OVERKILL RULES!!!!
is that all they have to say about Overkill? from Shred to Skullcrusher to Shades of Grey to any badass song, Overkill exists in a realm of their own. we as fans know.

Rest in Chaos Paul Baloff, I know you would never be happy resting in peace.

WTF? What about The Years of Decay? That album alone deserves this much bio.
Overkill can be heard in a lot of metal bands their rifts and drum techniques. Overkill is badass, Avenge seven fold even uses thier logo, Long live metal!!!!
under rated band. they are not (it seems to me) name dropped nearly as much as exodus or testament for example. my favorite 80's thrashers after megadeth.

Time to update the bio on Overkill! I think the albums put out since 1988 (where the bio leaves off) speak to their musical diversity.
I think what is even more sad is that some of the posters have listed more info on this legendary speed metal band than the bio. Total BS in my opinion.
when I listen to Overkill, I often think where they rank after the Big 4 of Thrash metal. They have put out some of the best riffs and have been consistent with putting out good material. They are still a very good band. Legends in my opinion.
