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 \u2018other places\u2019, traditional with a touch of the down-low-dirty riff, and a sing-along chorus\u2026personally, one of my favorites off \u2018<strong>The Wings Of War<\/strong>.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u201c<strong>The Wings Of War<\/strong>\u201d will arrive in stores on February 22nd through <strong>Nuclear Blast<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OVERKILL have unleashed a slamming new single titled \u201cHead Of A Pin\u201c.
