by Matthias Mineur (null) Line-up changes are nothing new for Overkill. However: two guitarists departing at the same time is a quite unusual process even for Bobby Blitz Ellsworth. Sebastian Marino retired into privacy, Joe Comeau became front-man of Annihilator. Their successor is Dave Linsk and he performs the material of "Bloodletting" rather towards the old Thrash Metal days of "The killing kind" or "From the underground and below". So, the rather raw sounds of "Necroshine" seem to be past again. Not too bad, though, because Ellsworth's voice fits better into the Old Style Thrash than into the heavy-hard Cross-Metal of the past two years. Accordingly, the mastermind seems to be extremely content with the new album. And the rather pessimistic, sometimes even pathologic lyrics do not stand in any contradiction to that. "I try to become a better man", he explains the journey into his inner self. Γ¬The result is a hot-burning Thrash-opus, of which every fan will be delighted.
