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 launched part three of their multi-part documentary series entitled “Welcome To The Garden States”. Watch as the band details their opinion of how the East coast sounds is different from the West coast. Check it out here:

Bobby Blitz comments “This healthy competition, it wasn’t something that had roots it was pretty fucking new, that was the beauty of it. You couldn’t even steal something from someone else it was still being created simultaneous while it was being created in Germany, UK and South America. As time has gone by, it has become a formula but back then it was just this sounds good and it was the same recipe that made it sound good. So that was the cool camaraderie that we all kinda knew where the other one came from by looking them in the eyes, they didn’t need to say anything. You just knew.”

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

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

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 off The 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
Part II: Early influences the Genre

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