For four decades, Overkill have been the trailblazers in producing some of the most signature moments in the world of metal. Today, the New Jersey thrash legends will bludgeon your ears with their twentieth studio album, entitled Scorched, via Nuclear Blast Records.
In celebration of the release, the band offers the music video for the title track. Check out the explosive track that encompasses the 35-year history of burnin’ things. Watch "Scorched" below.
Bobby Blitz comments, “Here we go, let's call it the triple threat... New Video, New Album. New Tour! Looking forward to seeing you all on the road. Now let's get this thing rolling!”
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.
