Overkill, ‘The Electric Age’ – Top 2012 Metal Albums

Overkill released their first record in 1985 and have been thrashing around the world ever since. The band's 2010 album, 'Ironbound' was seen by many as a return to form, and 'The Electric Age' further proves that Overkill are here to stay. The band cranks out old-school powerhouse tracks such as 'Come and Get It' and 'Electric Rattlesnake' while frontman Bobby Blitz delivers one of the most insane high shrieks ever put onto tape in 'Wish You Were Dead' — a scream which could easily stand toe-to-toe with the work of Bruce Dickinson or Rob Halford.
