437.0. "Overkill" by PEKING::JONESA1 () Wed May 09 1990 17:15

    
    I can't find a topic for Overkil so here it is!  Moshduck took me
    to see these guys back in February - they were brilliant....that
    was until they took me down to the pit and abandoned me!!!
    
    Anyone want to put in the names of band members and a discography?
    
    Best part of the concert was when Mosh dived off the stage and noone
    caught him!  Hahahahah!  He went THUD on his back!!! Hahahaha!
    
    Only song that sticks outin my mind is F*ck You! ;^)

    	Actually, after hearing "Eliminate" I don't mind these guys
    	as much as I did after hearing "Hello from the Gutter".
    
    	I should check them out (although with all the CD's I'd
    	like to buy I'm going to go broke!!).

    Overkill have replaced Boby Gustafson (guitar) with Merritt Gant and
    Rob Cannavino.
    
    They are currently working on their fifth album (tentatively titled
    Bare Bones) which should be released in the Summer.
    
    A tour is set for the Autumn (European).

    If any of youse out there like double bass this album [horrorscope] is
    for you. Flack is the newest madman to wield the DB kingship since Ton
    Hunting Left it after Exodus' Fabulous Disaster.
    
    If you're into fast and rythmic drumming and DB, this is for you.
    
    (Years of Decay is the best though)

    acts!!

    HorrorScope.

437.22STRATA::LUCHTIs it performance? Is it expression?Thu Jan 26 1995 21:105

437.23BUSY::SLABAs you wishTue Jan 28 1997 19:207
    
    	"The Killing Kind" is pretty rockin'.  These guys are rather cons-
    	istent in their albums/songs.
    
    	A few border on industrial, somewhat.  Not too much so, but enough
    	so that you notice it.
    
437.24hmm, same band members?SUBSYS::MSOUCYMentalmETALMikeWed Jan 29 1997 08:289
    
    Is it the same drummer from the past couple? They changed between
    Horoscope and I hear Black (speaking of which I should slide them into
    the changer as it HAS been awhile since I've listened to these guys!).
    
    I liked most of Horoscope and I hear Black though....and I have one
    other of theres....name escapes me at the moment though...
    
    
437.25BUSY::SLABAs you wishWed Jan 29 1997 11:5511
    
    	That's "Horrorscope", if it matters.
    
	Horrorscope
	I Hear Black
	Taking Over
	The Years of Decay
	Under the Influence
	W.F.O.
    	The Killing Kind

437.26TYoD I think is itSUBSYS::MSOUCYMentalmETALMikeWed Jan 29 1997 13:078
    
    re: -1
    
    I knew that, just testing ya is all. I think the other one I have may
    be The Years of Decay, with a song that they were known for which
    escapes me at this moment....
