After thirty years of wrecking necks live, East Coast thrash metal legends Overkill are still in their prime, as evidenced by this year's excellent onslaught of an offering dubbed "Ironbound". Hitting the road in support of the new record, the green and black attack headlined the aptly-named KILLFEST tour atop a bill that also featured God Dethroned, Vader, Evile, Warbringer and Woe of Tyrants. Overkill frontman Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth is in good spirits this night in Austin, Texas as he cracks jokes and fills us in on life out on the road. The subject of the evening is primarily focused on the pummeling new Overkill record and the band's immediate tour plans. Rather than placing too much emphasis on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the band's debut album "Feel the Fire", Blitz seems very content with the band's present achievement and looks to the future of the band with excitement and anticipation. Tonight's concert is further proof why now is as good a time as any, to be an Overkill fan.
