OVERKILL have unleashed a slamming new single titled “Head Of A Pin“. That song is the second track to be shared from the band’s forthcoming nineteenth studio album, “The Wings Of War”.
In an age where music is available instantly and bands appear and fade just as quickly, the power and resiliency that is OVERKILL who’s initial social media was stuffing show flier ads under windshield wipers in the 80s, has remained as resolute as ever, and even more so.
New frontiers aren’t often conquered in the modern world of heavy metal, yet OVERKILL remain unfazed by the growing presence of social media, modern internet, a demand for streaming services, and a general sense of competition between the sea of other metal bands trying to make a name for themselves, today.
Band Members
Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth – Vocals
D.D. Verni – Bass
Dave Linsk – Lead Guitar
Derek Tailer – Rhythm Guitar
Jason Bittner – Drums
The group’s frontman Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth commented about the new track:
“‘Head Of A Pin‘ took a long time to come together, it is probably the tune that went through the most changes and the last one I finished. Looking back on its development, the time invested was all well worth it. The tonality of the guitar shines on it and the song goes ‘other places’, traditional with a touch of the down-low-dirty riff, and a sing-along chorus…personally, one of my favorites off ‘The Wings Of War.’”
“The Wings Of War” will arrive in stores on February 22nd through Nuclear Blast.
