| | Description: | Whenever the term thrash metal is mentioned most people instinctively drawer a connection with the America West Coast and in particular San Francisco's Bay Area where the likes of Metallica, Megadeath and Exodus originated from. However America's East Coast scene had, by the mid-80s, also developed a batch of acts lending support to such top notch acts as Anthrax, Testament and Nuclear Assault. Both scenes proved to be fertile breeding grounds for the genre acting as magnets for newer groups to form and feed off the excitement. Overkill, originating from New Jersey, was one such act throwing themselves into the ring at a time when anything in the world of thrash metal was possible. Signing to the much loved and influential Megaforce label they cut two well received albums prior to unleashing 'Under The Influence' in July 1987. Recorded in upstate New York and produced by well-respected studio wizard Alex Perialas (mixed by Michael Wagener), who had already worked with Testament, Anthrax and Flotsam & Jetsam, the album refined the bands style and sound turning them from an interesting curio into world class contenders. Overkill's secret ingredient was not just their intense sonic assault but an inherent ability to condense riffs into an almost symphonic cacophony employing a strong melodic sensibility imbued with thick crunching guitar work. The songs resonate with muscle and melody, a trait not often found in the majority of thrash metal outfits, and the production is crisp and clean lending the sound a decidedly sophisticated sheen. This Special Deluxe Collector's Edition contains fully remastered audio plus a 16 page full colour booklet featuring a 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork with previously unseen photos and a new band interview. - Released in jewel case with 8-page booklet.

Eugene S. - 15/Oct/2024  The third studio album by thrash metal band Overkill, released on July 5, 1988. The album reached No. 142 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and remained on that chart for thirteen weeks, making it Overkill's longest Billboard run. I recommend.
|  | | HYUNG RAE K. - 15/Dec/2022 I love UTI. I feel like this album gets a bad rap here and there based on what I read here and there. It seems like a lot of Overkill fans don't rank this one too highly. I don't get that at all, this album crushes and is a ton of fun throughout. Starting with "Shred," we are treated to a largely mid-paced collection of hooky.
| | | Vladislav M. - 20/May/2020 Overkill, although not included in any tops a la Big4 and others, but they are real hard workers and one of the most revealing band of the American Thrash Metal scene. Just a cool album!
| | Marc Jason G. - 09/Jan/2019  Under the Influence" marked a huge evolutionary step from the speedy heavy metal of their two previous albums to the thrash metal band we now know.
| | | Paulos K. - 12/Feb/2018 When overkill comes in mind you know that you wont be dissapointed.old school thrash from the golden era with the charachteristic voice of bob!
| |  Jorge D. - 29/Nov/2016 Classical 80's sound, old school thrash, although the production and mix is not the best it's worth to include in your heavy metal collection ...!
| | | Arturo Ricardo M. - 23/Aug/2016 Disco clasico de los americanos, que entrega un sonido clasico y necesario para cualquier coleccion, ademas de ser edicion antigua que lo hace mucho mas valioso y raro, con un arte muy ochentas , especial para nostalgicos
