Overkill announce new album ‘The Wings of War’

OVERKILL have announced a new album!

The new album, titled The Wings of War, is the 19th effort from New Jersey thrashers and is scheduled to be released in February next year.

The upcoming record was recorded at Gear Recording Studio in New Jersey, SKH Studio in Florida and Jrod Productions with engineering handled by bassist DD Verni and guitarist Dave Linsk. The album was produced by the band while Chris “Zeuss” Harris handled the mixing and mastering. Travis Smith (NEVERMORE, OPETH, SOILWORK, DEATH etc) was again enlisted to create the artwork for the album.

Speaking about the upcoming record, vocalist Bobby ‘Blitz’ Ellsworth says, “it was a blast making The Wings of War! It is something old feeling new again, as our chemistry was altered by the addition of Jason Bittner. I was curious from the get-go, how would it pan out? I think what we accomplished here is a new, upgraded OVERKILL that embraced the new chemistry, while taking our roots into the present. The new formula produced not only more raw power, but more places to go with melody, a win, win. The key is being not only interested in the change, but part of it. I’ll tell you what, it’s still fun as hell making OVERKILL records.”
