│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If I were a man of few words, OverkillÆs new ║ │
│║ release ôWhite Devil Armoryö would garner the ║ │
│║ single most descriptive word: consistent. ║ │
│║ Unfortunately, being brief would be inconsistent ║ │
│║ for your author. For the past 34 years, there ║ │
│║ has been no band on this planet that has fought ║ │
│║ through adversity, age, subgenre limits, and ║ │
│║ changing times and attitudes of metal fans by ║ │
│║ putting out such consistently great material ║ │
│║ than these New York legends. Sure, you can point ║ │
│║ out some albums that didnÆt resonate as well as ║ │
│║ others, but was there ever an Overkill album ║ │
│║ that screamed ôsuckö? ôWhite Devil Armoryö takes ║ │
│║ the formula of ôThe Electic Ageö and adds a dose ║ │
│║ of ôIronboundö to make one ripping album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With as much energy as the band musters on a ║ │
│║ nightly basis every single tour, Overkill simply ║ │
│║ beats you down into thrash submission. When the ║ │
│║ speed doesnÆt knock you out, the groove will ║ │
│║ gouge you. It took just a single listen to ║ │
│║ ôBitter Pillö to know that this song is one of ║ │
│║ the best the band has written in its storied ║ │
│║ career right alongside the pseudo ôMarch of the ║ │
│║ Winkiesö chant in the middle of ôKing of the Rat ║ │
│║ Bastardsö (donÆt askàyou will know it when you ║ │
│║ hear it). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Production-wise, the album is loud and ║ │
│║ decisively sharpàjust like excellent thrash ║ │
│║ should be. It is markedly better, but right in ║ │
│║ in line with the string of Overkill releases ║ │
│║ dating back to ôNecroshineö back in 20 æought 0. ║ │
│║ The riff machine of Linsk and Tailer are as much ║ │
│║ the showcase of every Overkill album as BlitzÆs ║ │
│║ ultra-unique shrieks. Speaking of Ellsworth, ║ │
│║ this man is just ageless û sounding more and ║ │
│║ more aggressive on every album when most ║ │
│║ vocalists over 50 would have been dead at the ║ │
│║ energy level he exudes. Check out ôFreedom ║ │
│║ Reignsö and the potent lyrical delivery in ║ │
│║ ôAnother Day to Die.ö ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôArmoristö charges out of the key laden ôXDMö ║ │
│║ intro with ridiculous fury, only to be followed ║ │
│║ up by the tommy gun riffs of ôDown to the Bone.ö ║ │
│║ ItÆs the latter where Overkill groove kicks ║ │
│║ everything into high gear and the riffs ôsoftenö ║ │
│║ to a moderate gallop. Choruses exude supremacy, ║ │
│║ a staple of every album, and there is a plethora ║ │
│║ on ôWhite Devil Armory.ö For the best, check out ║ │
│║ the aforementioned ôBitter Pillö along with ║ │
│║ ôWhere ThereÆs Smokeö (where speed slays) and ║ │
│║ the two fisted punch at the end of the release: ║ │
│║ ôItÆs All Yoursö (no riff more memorable) and ║ │
│║ ôIn the Name.ö ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So the name of the game with ôWhite Devil ║ │
│║ Armoryö is astounding consistency. Overkill ║ │
│║ doesnÆt have to release a great album to cement ║ │
│║ a legacy of greatness, but the band did anyway. ║ │
│║ Overkill doesnÆt have to release an album of ║ │
│║ miraculous progression to stray from what it ║ │
│║ does best. ôWhite Devil Armoryö is precisely as ║ │
│║ it should beàspectacular thrash that makes you ║ │
│║ want to destroy that place you call home, and ║ │
│║ when you hear it live youÆll be sure to destroy ║ │
│║ your neighbor. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Highs: High energy thrash played at the highest ║ │
│║ destruction producing level. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Lows: Fans seeking something different will find ║ │
│║ nothing different. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Bottom line: Overkill leaves a trail of ║ │
│║ destruction emanating from your living area. ║ │
