OVERKILL: Complete Tour Lineup, Schedule To Be Announced Next Week - Nov. 23, 2009

OVERKILL's U.S. tour in support of "Ironbound" will likely feature a total of six band and end with a big 25th-anniversary show in New York City at the Nokia Theater. The band says, "We have lots of plans to make that a special celebration show for everyone." Fans will also be able to purchase a VIP ticket that includes a special pre-show meet-and-greet with the last few bands of the night, along with priority entry for those ticket holders.

The full tour lineup and schedule will be revealed on Monday, November 30.

Tickets for the New York City show are now available for purchase via EnterTheVault.com.

The CD, which will be issued in Europe on January 29, 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records, was mixed by PAIN/HYPOCRISY mainman Peter Tägtgren and is described in a press release as "a true thrasher-piece."

	I can't wait to see them live again. They always tour by themselves so why so many bands this time???????? I'm sure it will be a bunch of shitty bands but I'll be there for Overkill no matter what. That many bands will probably mean a shorter setlist then usual. That sucks too. I hope I am wrong. Fingers crossed.

	COMMENT \| posted by : MetalPoser 11/23/2009 9:26:28 PM

	I've heard the God Dethroned rumor as well, not that rumors mean anything. I'll be there in Philly.

	I saw Overkill at the Passaic Theatre in Jersey when they were just starting out. Couldn't have been more than 75 people there. They killed. Later, I got to sit in on an interview with Bobby at L'Amours- he was such a nice guy. Overkill never really sold out, and for that they get true respect.

	COMMENT \| One of the best shows I ever saw.... posted by : Douchebag St John 11/23/2009 10:26:26 PM

	Caught them on the tour for " The Killing Kind ". The played for two hours and were rock freaking solid. Hope they hit NC on this tour.

	COMMENT \| yup posted by : Steve Guttenberg 11/23/2009 10:51:13 PM

	as said above they are 1 of the best live bands EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

	COMMENT \| original line up posted by : BLT 11/24/2009 12:34:43 AM

	it would be awesome to see them at nokia with the original line up playing a few songs from the first few albums. Fatal if swallowed wrecking crew horrorascope just to name a few.

	COMMENT \| the new album posted by : spacebeer 11/24/2009 1:19:30 AM

	KILLS, and that's coming from someone that thinks "horrorscope" was the last good one....

	COMMENT \| In Union We Stand..... posted by : gbruceisgod 11/24/2009 4:14:17 AM

	Always reminds me of the good old days.... Playing Taking Over in the back of the school bus and the other kids looking back in horror crying 'what is this horrible sound?'. I love these guys and since they kept the line up solid the albums have got back to form.

	COMMENT \| Been Listening To The New Album.... posted by : Exorcist 11/24/2009 9:55:45 AM

	...since last night and man oh man, this sounds like a band who just got a fire lit under they're ass. It kills, rips, shreds like nothing since Horrorscope. Fucking incredible. If you've been even the slightest bit "meh" on the last bunch of albums, this is going to FUCK YOU UP.

	COMMENT \| horns up! posted by : untitled_66 11/24/2009 10:04:39 AM

	\m/ to the mighty overkill. grew up with dd's lil bo and sis and these dudes have never disappointed live! blitz is one of the few singer of this generation who has actually gotten better over the years! he puts 200% in to the performance and it shows.

	COMMENT \| posted by : fivefingerdicktouch 11/24/2009 2:06:42 PM

	overkill is pretty sexy but they totaly ripped Iron Maiden

	COMMENT \| Incredible band posted by : Jaxx Man 11/24/2009 5:25:13 PM

	Man are they loud though. Can't wait to hear this new one. ^^^^ "they totaly ripped Iron Maiden" - ROFL at that one. I can tell you're a big fan. Spell much?

	COMMENT \| I like alot of their records... posted by : I'mGonnaKillEddie. 11/24/2009 5:40:51 PM

	I just don't think they adapted well, with technology, IMO. After the Yrs. (top 25 all time LP.) and Horrorscope they became too CRUISH w/ all of those 'groovin'' style rock songs; I guess they needed and found a better drummer, anyway, since I wasn't available (haha) they got a decent one after all! peace...

	COMMENT \| I hope posted by : BassGod73 11/24/2009 6:37:01 PM

	they get back to real thrash. On their last album "Immortalis" only the opening track shredded. The Killing Kind and Bloodletting were their last good albums. The last three, Killbox 13, Relix, and Immortalis came off real bland.

	COMMENT \| posted by : AlKikuras 11/24/2009 8:32:54 PM

	Check out Bobby's other band, THE CURSED. Sick stuff. www.the-cursed.net

	COMMENT \| eh... posted by : godfather 11/25/2009 9:14:44 AM
