Album Description
Available in:
"The Wings of War" is the 19th studio album by American thrash metal band Overkill, released on February 22, 2019 on the Nuclear Blast label. It is the band's first album to feature drummer Jason Bittner, making it the band's first one without Ron Lipnicki since ReliXIV (2005), as he left Overkill shortly after the release of its predecessor The Grinding Wheel (2017).
User Album Review
Overkill hit a late-career high in 2010 with the release of Ironbound, a modern thrash metal record that still packed vintage punch. It’s so good that the band’s been more-or-less rewriting it for a decade since, and The Wings of War is no different. The band does away with the excesses of more well-known thrash bands in exchange for a nasty punk-rock attitude which fans have come to adore, and which gives the band some crossover appeal. Vocalist Bobby Blitz lays the attitude on thicker this time around, and bassist D.D. Verni has written shorter songs to match, making The Wings of War — slightly! — more exciting than the last two Overkill albums, The Grinding Wheel and White Devil Armory.
The Wings of War continues Overkill’s nearly decade-long winning streak, and further cements their reputation among those in the know as one of the most consistent bands in metal. The downside of consistency is that Overkill’s individual albums become anonymous inside of their discography. It’s easy to recommend The Wings of War, but difficult to recommend it over a number of Overkill’s other albums. New fans ought to begin with Ironbound or The Years of Decay before checking this new record out, but longtime fans will find even more reason to believe in Mr. Blitz.
