Overkill might not have the profile of Metallica or any other member of thrash’s Big Four, but they were just as integral to the scene as those bands. Formed in New Jersey in 1981 and led since the start by livewire frontman Bobby 'Blitz’ Ellsworth, they became fixtures on the metal landscape thanks to classic late 80s and early 90s albums such as Taking Over, Under The Influence, The Years Of Decay and Horrorscope. In 2019, the band prepared to release their 19th album, Wings Of War, Blitz looked back of his eventful life and career.
