The fourth studio album by thrash metal band Overkill, released on October 13, 1989. Musically, The Years of Decay features Overkill's most progressive and diverse work compared to their previous albums. I recommend.

Overkill is a truly industrious and exemplary thrash metal band. It regularly announces new album without great ups and downs and makes fans entertained. They might be 'Big'. This album is the best album

Gran álbum, indispensable en la discografía de cualquier buen metalero. Contiene algunos de los hits más ovacionados en los shows de la banda. Fuerza, melodía y contundencia en cada track!
