Overkill announce new album ‘Scorched’

OVERKILL have announced a new album!

Titled Scorched, the upcoming album from the American thrash metal band is the follow-up to 2019’s The Wings Of War, and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

The mixing of the record was handled by Colin Richardson and his assistant engineer Chris Clancy. Johnny Rodd helped with producing vocals, and finally, Maor Appelbaum took over mastering and adding finishing touches. The band returned to artist Travis Smith to create the album cover art.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Bobby Blitz says, “man, it seems like for F-in ever since we chatted!!!! Ha! I tell you what, this is the longest ever between OVERKILL releases, Feb ’19 to April ’23. For me, it became my ‘peterpandemic’ go-to. I wrote my part, tore it down, then again and again. I found myself still changing parts while Colin was mixing! It became the normal in a very abnormal time, sanity amongst the insanity. Somewhere in Scorched that is all reflected, a common thread, it is the place I went to get what I needed, maybe what ‘we’ needed. It’s different, that’s for sure, an old-school approach/mix in a modern world… was it worth the wait? You tell me… see ya on the road! Horns up!”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming new album; The Surgeon.
