Roots Of Heavy Metal Post #2
New York Thrash Metal pioneers Overkill were included on Metal Blade Record's Metal Massacre Vol.V. From there the band released a self recorded EP which got the attention of Megaforce Records. Megaforce signed the band and released their Feel The Fire full length debut. Atlantic Records took notice of the Underground Heavy Metal scene and inked a deal with Megaforce Records to release Megaforce LPs as joint releases. The first album to be released by Megaforce/Atlantic was Overkill's second full length Taking Over. Overkill did not reach the commercial success of other first wave Thrash Metal bands such as Metallica, Slayer, & Anthrax but have had a long career with a very loyal following (one of my favorite f@#king bands JD). The band continues to this day having released their 17th album White Devil Armory, in 2015. A recording from the bands 2015 Rock Hard Festival appearance can be downloaded here.
