- New
Edition featuring 5 bonus tracks of the 2nd album from 1979 by Britain's MOTÖRHEAD and one of the cornerstones of Heavy Metal history. Released only a few months after "Motörhead", the album marked a major breakthrough for Lemmy Kilmister and company, cementing a unique formula that blended the energy of Punk Rock, the speed of Heavy Metal and the attitude of raw Rock 'n' Roll.
"Overkill" is a relentless burst of power, speed and attitude driven by Lemmy's unmistakable distorted bass, the thunderous drumming of Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor and the razor-sharp guitar work of "Fast" Eddie Clarke. Faster and more aggressive than most records of its era, the album became a crucial influence on the later development of Speed Metal, Thrash Metal and even Hardcore Punk. Widely regarded as one of MOTÖRHEAD's greatest achievements, this expanded edition adds five bonus tracks to an album that remains essential listening for any fan of heavy music.
Recommended for fans of: TANK, VENOM, RAVEN, EXCITER.
