Setting the scene ablaze, the rough and rowdy Overkill have reappeared to bludgeon your ears with their twentieth studio album: 'Scorched'. For over three and a half decades their bottom line crazy method of thrash has produced some of the most signature moments in the world of metal. Now in the latter half of their career, all the experience is showing face with 'Scorched' as it somehow rings more mature, refined, and embellished with hints of more than just thrash metal. 'It's not aggression for the sake of aggression', explains vocalist Bobby 'Blitz' Ellsworth, 'there are a lot of different elements on the record. To me, it's more heavy metal, and less of an outright thrash record. There's a hell of a lot of melody on it'.
