OVERKILL – second single & lyric video released

Legendary New Jersey thrashers OVERKILL will unleash their 19th studio record, »The Wings Of War«, on February 22nd, 2019 via Nuclear Blast.

Today, the band releases the second single entitled, “Head Of A Pin”. Watch the lyric video here:https://youtu.be/zniDdYOLYt0

Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth comments,Head of a Pin” took a long time to come together, it is probably the tune that went through the most changes and the last one I finished. Looking back on it’s development, the time invested was all well worth it. The tonality of the guitar shines on it and the song goes ‘other places’, traditional with a touch of the down-low-dirty riff, and a sing-along chorus…personally, one of my favorites offThe Wings of War.”

Recently,  the band launched their multi-part documentary series entitled “Welcome To The Garden States“.  Watch the various parts below:
Part I: Band Origin & Name

Stay tuned for the upcoming episodes that will detail the journey to the upcoming album, »The Wings Of War«.
