Overkill put on an awesome show last night on their home turf in New Jersey, “probably on top of toxic fucking waste” as singer Bobby Blitz put it. If you like metal and you’ve never seen them live, you should really get on that. Not only do they have the stage presence of an apocalyptic alien invasion, they play relentless thrash metal as rowdy and rude as imaginable.

Overkill has been around for well over two decades and they’re still putting out great material. Last night’s mosh pits for their 2007 songs proved they haven’t gone the least bit soft in their musical approach.

Warbringer put on an excellent show before Overkill’s set. Check them out if you like your music fast and ruthless. Epicurean sounded good too but I spent most of their set just waiting for Overkill.

There is something about seeing a man in his 40s successfully stage dive that proves life is awesome. From the evil entrance noise to the final Fuck You of the night, Overkill was a treat for the metalhead.
