"The Wings of War" is a powerful studio album by the legendary thrash metal band Overkill, released in CD format by Nuclear Blast. This record showcases Overkill's relentless energy and signature sound, blending aggressive riffs with dynamic vocals across an explosive tracklist. The album stands as a testament to the band's enduring influence in the metal scene, delivering both classic thrash elements and fresh intensity that appeals to longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Overkill, formed in 1980 in New Jersey, are pioneers of East Coast thrash metal. With over four decades of experience and more than nineteen studio albums under their belt, they have cemented their status as one of the genre?s most consistent forces. Known for hits like "Elimination," "Ironbound," and "Hello from the Gutter," Overkill continues to inspire generations with their uncompromising style and high-octane performances.
Nuclear Blast is one of the world?s leading heavy metal labels, renowned for supporting iconic acts such as Slayer, Nightwish, Sabaton, and many others. Their commitment to quality production values and artist development has made them a cornerstone within the global rock and metal community.
I'm a bit late in purchasing this album, still, pretty satisfied. How should I not be as this is 19th album of these legends and they are still offering a freshness in sound and in songwriting. Anxiously awaiting their forthcoming jubilee 20th album.
HYUNG RAE K. - 15/Dec/2022
East Coast thrash metal legends Overkill released their 19th studio album "The Wings of War" on 2/22/19 which followed on the heels of 2017's "The Grinding Wheel" which I liked quite a bit. While I do not feel that "The Wings of War" is as strong of an effort as "The Grinding Wheel", it is still very solid and should please Overkill fans for the most part.
