OVERKILL DO THE “ELECTRIC RATTLESNAKE”

“Electric Rattlesnake” is as silly a song title as I can imagine, which is to say, it is METAL AS FUCK. So you won’t be disappointed to learn that Overkill’s new song of that title is, indeed, mosh-a-riffic. It really amazing how all these classic thrash bands have been enjoying a creative renaissance for the past five or six years. Did they all make a pact or something? Or you think that secretly Municipal Waste and Havok are actually writing all these songs?

(I’m kidding. Uptight Overkill fans, please do not think I really believe Overkill didn’t pen this tune.)

You can headbang to “Electric Rattlesnake” here. Overkill’s new album, The Electric Age, comes out March 30 via eOne. The band will support the album on a tour with God Forbid, Diamond Plate, and Suidakra — get dates here.
