OVERKILL was forced to drop off the “Dark Roots Of Thrash” tour with TESTAMENT last week due to Bobby‘s ongoing bout with pneumonia.

OVERKILL‘s new album, “The Electric Age”, sold 6,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 77 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was recorded and mixed at Gear Recording Studios in New Jersey, owned and operated by OVERKILL bassist D.D. Verni.
