This is probably my favorite album by Overkill. Fatal If Swallowed is fucking hilarious, but In Union We Stand is really lame. But man, the first two songs really grab you by the nuts!

Speed metal pioneers at that time, it was really something, not heard before maybe a bit of a ground breaker in a terms of speed metal

Yeah true, it feels very much like Manowar cover . Apart from this one it is decent thrash album, particularly from the start - as ususal with Overkill.

Not a huge fan of them but this album is really good. Favorite track is "Wrecking Crew".

Excellent album! Deny the cross and Fear his name are just standouts.

A decent album, simple but savage songs. The highlight on here is 'Overkill II', mainly because it was a new song, since most of the material on the album was already in their set list by 1984, these are mostly still quite primitive songs.
On a side note they are one of the first (if the not the first) thrash bands to use the pinch harmonic as a stylistic part of a riff rather than just in a solo like Eddie Van Halen did. Check 'Electro-Violence'.

Personally I prefer the song writing of the 1st album though I can't say that this album is much worse. To me both of these albums are essential thrash releases.

Definitely a step up from the debut. Better songwriting and more variation and incredibly headbangable. I think I enjoy the dramatic finale too. Nice classic thrash.
