Overkill
Under The Influence (Collector's Edition)

The musicians are real pros and the absence of catchy melodies they compensate for with a huge dose of energy and drive, as well as decent indicators of technicality and instrumental virtuosity. The fact is that now the musicians can not be called uncooked thugs, trash only for the sake of one thing - just stupidly shake your head off and have a good time off. Now they are building a style of trash metal in a higher status, showing it from the other side - from the specific musical art. Thus, the group abruptly, in just one year, changed its sound, and began to resemble completely the Overkill that we can observe today. Of the most interesting songs, I would single out the opening shredding track “Shred”, the potential hit “Hallo From The Gutter”, which was played even on the Mt “Headbangers Ball”, the crazy waste of “Mad Gone World”, which can serve and serve as a good example for many power trash bands, a funny progressive theme "Drunken Wisdom", as well as the final number on the album "Overkill 3 (Under The Influence)", the first two parts, which can be found in the previous disks "Feel The Fire" and "Taking Over", but here he appears for the last time in the work of the gang. In general, the album is worthless by melodic standards, but from the point of view of thrash metal - “Under the Influence” is a good job
