Under Overkill's Wheels!

"Disregard anyone who tries to tell you that Overkill has lost its teeth or gone soft. This disk will crush you with sheer aggression and raised-middle-finger attitude. The riffs are delivered with depleated uranium weight, and the production is clean and loud. Just to give you a little to think about, the boys have given us some pretty interesting choruses, and even a little female backing vocal here and there. Don't let this disuade you. Compared with their contemporaries, Overkill has remained far faster and harder. They don't have the hammer down every second, but when the throw you the heat, they can still shift into maximum overdrive. Get this disk. Get W.F.O. and Years of Decay, too. Heck, get them all! They'll put an end to any urge to lament over the lack of quality Thrash these days."

YET AGAIN OVERKILL DELIVERS A KICK... MATERPIECE!!!

"OVERKILL,The gods of thrashmetal have NEVER,EVER,disapointed or
turned there backs on metal!This album is not a whole lot of thrash but yet rock solid,hard hitting,skull crushing,metal at
its purest! Some of there best song's are MY DECEMBER,80 CYCLES,
REVELATION, and my personal fav. with bobby the blitz sister
(MARRY ELLSWORTH) doing backing vocals,LET US PREY.
This is not there best album but still a masterpiece
if you like straight up hard hitting METAL ITS A MUST HAVE!"

THRASH AT IT'S FINEST

"Well, at the beginning of the decade they released their best album Horrorscope. Now to conclude the decade, they release their best yet. Necroshine is Overkill's masterpiece, no two ways about it. Every song on here maintains it's thrash-ness while Blitz and the Wrecking Crew add some melody to the songs. The result, a classic. This band has really some retread, rehashed thrash over the course of this decade, and it is a pleasure to hear this. I've stuck by them since Wreck Your Neck, and I would have never given up on them because I knew they have potential for greatness. Fans of metal, Metallica has gone out of the thrash realm, and if you think thrash is dead, pick this up and behold NECROSHINE!"
