Overkill has been on a roll with releasing something for fans each year. Overkill released their LP The Grinding Wheel in 2017, the live album Live in Overhausen this year, and now, according to bassist DD Verni in an interview on SiriusXM‘s Trunk Nation, they're releasing a new album probably in February 2019.
“We actually just finished mixing the new record — just buttoned it up two days ago. I just got the final sequencing and all that, so that’s all buttoned up. We’re working on the cover now. We still don’t have a title — we’re gonna have to come up with that soon — but we have a lot of things floating around. And the new release will probably be in February.
The first week of March we’re on tour back in Europe, and then we’re back here in the States — we’re working on the States tour right now. So that’ll come out end of February next year, and then we’ll be off and running; there’ll be a lot of Overkill touring — festival season in the States, in Europe, back and forth, all over. The usual routine — try to hit everywhere.”
This coming album will be Overkill's first effort with drummer Jason Bittner, who's drumming you might know from such acts as Shadows Fall, Stigmata, and Flotsam and Jetsam.
