US thrashers Overkill has announced Killfest 2015 European Tour in March with Sanctuary and Methedras in tow. Check out dates in support of their latest album, White Devil Armory, above: About the untouched, Overkill live experience, Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth told BraveWords recently:
“I suppose, but we’re still in it to win it. I love the sense of community, but we don’t do this to lose. And that becomes the motivation. D.D. does this thing sometimes called stay down, it’s a boxer’s mentality. If you know a boxer, the only reason they stay down is because they can’t get up. But if he can get up he will. I remember him saying on the bus one day, just stay down, just stay down. And I was saying back, ‘I can’t!’ (Laughs) I think that the idea is that you are reaping the rewards, but the other side is that you want to win. I remember touring with Gary Holt (Exodus, Slayer) – and I love those fucking guys, there’s a great sense of community with Exodus; we’re fucking cousins from different coasts. But the reality is, when he comes off stage and he gives you that fucking Billy The Kid cross-eyed smile that he has, and I’m thinking to myself, ‘you think you’re fucking big now don’t ya!’ But he does it the same way I do it, he wants to win. Great sense of community when we’re sitting around in a room – and we all want the same results – but the reality is you go in it to win. And that’s one of the things Overkill has always had, we want to win.”
