The driving force behind keeping a band going for thirty years is commendable, let alone when Ironbound is both album fifteen and arguably the most solid album the band has put to their name.

That's right, Overkill make their return with a whole new sense of conviction and power. Ironbound oozes with a thrash pedigree and confidently outclasses much of the genre's other contributors, both new and old. You can not take Overkill for granted with this release, as the band finally appear to have a burning fire underneath them with the result being an album to genuinely get excited about.

  It is actually a very good album. There have been quite a few strong releases this year so far, and this is not an exception. Great work! Here's my full review:

Rating: 8 I was never a old school thrash metal fan, cuz of the vocals.

I've known this band since "Immortalis" came out. But this..by far..Overkill's fastest & heaviest album since Horrorscope..which i liked as well Even though Blitz' vocals gotten better & still in the old school the music seems to be more into the Bay Area Thrash..which im insanely in love with

"Bring ME The Night" has some power-like metal in it as well. Perfect album, even for me
I gotta get this

Rating: 9 Definitely the best Overkill album in a long time. This album rules.

  I love this album! The opening 1-2 of ''The Green And Black" and the title track especially, is just awesome. That opening is definitely on a a par with anything from their glory days in the 80's! Seems like this is going to be a great year for thrash, what with amazing albums already out by Heathen, and Overkill, Annihilator about to release their best album in years, and the new Exodus sounding very promising! The old school bands are definitely showing the new school thrashers how it should be done.
