OVERKILL: Fan-Filmed Video Footage Of Zagreb Concert

Fan-filmed video footage of OVERKILL‘s March 11 performance at Tvornica Kulture in Zagreb, Croatia can be seen below.

OVERKILL‘s new album, “White Devil Armory”, sold around 8,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 31 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was released on July 22, 2014 in North America via eOne Music and on July 18, 2014 in Europe through Nuclear Blast Records. The effort was tracked at Gear Recording and was mixed by Greg Reely, who also worked on 2012’s “The Electric Age”.

The limited-edition box-set version of “White Devil Armory” included a digipack CD, a leather belt and buckle plus a certificate of authenticity.

OVERKILL filmed videos for the songs “Bitter Pill” and “Armorist” with veteran director Kevin J. Custer (HATEBREED, TESTAMENT, SUFFOCATION). Custer previously worked with OVERKILL on the “Electric Rattlesnake” and “Bring Me The Night” clips.

Speaking about what OVERKILL was trying to accomplish with “White Devil Armory”, singer Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth told Artisan News: “My personal motivation, and I can probably speak for my partner D.D. [Verni, bass], is that you don’t want repetition. Obviously, we are what we are — a thrash metal band — [and] we fall into, let’s say, a subgenre of this metal community, but the idea is that you wanna stay interested with it, you want to try, to some degree, to reinvent yourself. And I think the thing I’m most proud of when it comes to a record like Number 17, being ‘White Devil Armory’, is that that’s the push for it. No repetition. Let’s get in there and let’s define that line between repetition and what style is. I write all these notes in my office where I have my little studio — ‘Don’t repeat yourself,’ ‘Don’t use this,’ ‘Don’t use that’ — and that becomes kind of the flavor of the writing: Stay relevant, great execution, modern presentation. Make Number 17 relevant in 2014.”
