Overkill, those New Jersey thrash monsters, have another album coming up, called the Grinding Wheel. Goddamn Trouble’s one of the pre-releases, and it’s pretty great. The vocals have a bit of a southern rawk/bluesy vibe to it, which I haven’t really heard on top of thrash before, but it’s an intriguing pairing.
The guitar & drumwork is the same frenetic drive you expect from Overkill, something that could be the backing track to a workout montage or crime spree. The solo comes late but it’s solid and soaring, very fitting. Also it’s fun seeing a bunch of dudes what look like grandspas shredding all over a music video.
Anyway, behold, Goddamn Trouble!
