New Jersey Thrash Metal legends, OVERKILL, recently announced details of their new album, as well as a new single entitled “The Surgeon”.

The band’s new album is entitled “Scorched” and is their twentieth full-length release! It will be available from the 14th of April via Nuclear Blast Records.

In the meantime, the band recently offered fans a taste of the new album with the release of first single, ‘The Surgeon‘. Listeners will enjoy a crash course in OVERKILL featuring blistering vocals, surgically shreddy riffs, galloping drums, and the dirty low-end bass that fans come out of the gutter for. Enjoy the classic sound that has made you love the NJ thrash outfit for 40+ years.

OVERKILL‘s Bobby Blitz recently commented,“Man, it seems like for F-in ever since we chatted!!!! Ha! I tell you what, this is the longest ever between Overkill releases, Feb ’19 to April ’23. For me, it became my ‘peterpandemic’ go-to. I wrote my part, tore it down, then again and again. I found myself still changing parts while Colin was mixing! It became the normal in a very abnormal time, sanity amongst the insanity. Somewhere in ‘Scorched’ that is all reflected, a common thread, it is the place I went to get what I needed, maybe what “we” needed. It’s different, that’s for sure, an old-school approach/mix in a modern world… was it worth the wait? You tell me… see ya on the road! Horns up!”

“Scorched” offered a new recording environment as all members were able to record on their own. The mixing of the record was handled by Colin Richardson and his assistant engineer Chris Clancy. Johnny Rodd helped with producing vocals, and finally, Maor Appelbaum took over mastering and adding finishing touches. The band returned to artist Travis Smith to create the album cover art.
