OVERKILL Launch Music Video For Title Track Of New Album ‘Scorched’
April 14th, 2023

New Jersey-based thrash metal band Overkill have filmed a music video for the title track of their latest album Scorched. Directed by David Brodsky for My Good Eye, the clip can be viewed below.
Overkill issued 20th full-length studio album Scorched on April 14th, 2023 through Nuclear Blast Records.
Mixing was handled by Colin Richardson and his assistant engineer Chris Clancy, while Johnny Rodd helped with producing vocals. Mastering was overseen by Maor Appelbaum.
Cover artwork was designed by Travis Smith, once again.
Overkill frontman Bobby ‘Blitz’ Ellsworth commented: “Man, it seems like for F-in ever since we chatted!!!! Ha! I tell you what, this is the longest ever between Overkill releases, Feb ’19 to April ’23.
“For me, it became my ‘peterpandemic’ go-to. I wrote my part, tore it down, then again and again. I found myself still changing parts while Colin was mixing! It became the normal in a very abnormal time, sanity amongst the insanity. Somewhere in Scorched that is all reflected, a common thread, it is the place I went to get what I needed, maybe what ‘we’ needed. It’s different, that’s for sure, an old-school approach / mix in a modern world… was it worth the wait? You tell me… see ya on the road! Horns up!”
