I really havent listened to much Overkill since the release of "Horrorscope" and I was very dissapointed with "WFO" so I kinda avoided all newer Overkill releases for awhile, until last week when I picked up "Necroshine" Overkill still plays some really good Heavy Stuff on this album, but its a far cry from thier older material, which I actually enjoy more of the rawness of the first 3 albums, and of course "Horroscope" and "Years of Decay" showed how they could combine Thrash with some really good "slower" Material. "Necroshine" is a pretty solid effort, its pretty much got that standard Overkill Sound. Yet I dont think they are the greatist musicans in the world. Tim Mallore has never seemed to fill the shoes of Sid Falack and Rat Skates, who I believe were much better drummers, and the best line-up has to be their lineup of "Horrorscope" and "Years of Decay" I believe DD is still with the band, as I don't have the CD booklet in front of me, and with all the changes since the Horrorscope days (remember I haven't listened to newer Overkill in Years)its hard to keep track of all the newer members. These guys are about average for a metal band, like I said its nothing really special, but my hats goes off to them that they are still playing music 20yrs later, and most of todays Rock and Nu Metal bands will be lucky if they can still put out quailty material for that long, or even be together for that long. Metal heads will still love this though, as its something Heavy to pound your head to, but there are so many better Death Metal and Metal bands out there, that I belive only DIE HARD fans of the band will think this is Excellent.

If you don't have any Overkill as of yet and happen to be reading this I ougtha tell ya that there are about a half a dozen Overkill cds you need to check out before you look at this one. And seriously, be sure to do this. Overkill are pretty well known and all but aren't nearly as prominent as they ought to be. First of all 'The Years of Decay' and 'Horrorscope' are just utter thrash classics, easily worthy of being mentioned along side all the bigger titles in the genre, and superior to a goodly number of them, as a matter of fact. Second of all, metal are fans are always such of fickle bunch, accusing whoever of selling out or going soft, usually without good reason. No such accusations can be leveled towards Overkill, and it seems like they should get more recognition for this fact. Sure, most people out there probably don't need every Overkill albums, but you definitely at least need to check the band out in general. (And I like em all.)

'Necroshine' is in the middle of the pack as far as the whole 'kill catalogue is considered. Not innovative or anything, but well written and performed, solid production. It comes between 'From the Underground and Below' and 'Bloodletting' and does sound like middle ground between those albums. A bit darker, less bluesy than the former, but still groovier and less thrashy than the latter. It's far from being a pure thrash album, make no mistake, but it's not remotely trendy and it's definitely very Overkill-y.

'Let Us Prey' is easily the best song here. Fairly epic, great chorus. The title track is another fine one, with a nice venomous vocal performance from Blitz and a great riff underneath the chorus. '80 Cycles' is a bit more of a groover, very memorable though. 'Forked Tongue Kiss' and 'I Am Fear' are both fast, chaotic pieces. The latter has another great, unhinged vocal performance from Blitz. 'Black Line' is probably the most immediately memorable and most overtly melodic track here. Excellent gang vox too. As usual there are no bad tracks on this album, though the quality isn't extraordinary in general. Still, it's got enough very good too excellent tracks to keep it from being to middle of the road.

Yeah I'm done. Overkill are the most consistent metal band around, and this album is definitely worthwhile for their serious fans.

riffalicious modern thrash.......2003-06-14

Let me start off by saying that, at this point, Metallica doesn't even deserve to be an opening act for Overkill. "St. Anger" can go eat a [beeeeeep]

"Necroshine" is a piece of metal mastery. I must admit that I don't like the 80s stuff Overkill put out (actually anything before "From the underground and below" doesn't appeal to me), but this is fantastic. I think this is still probably my favorite Overkill material. "Bloodletting and "Killbox 13" sound great from the samples, but I have yet to purchase those releases (there are hundreds of CDs on my wantlist with higher priority...). I would recommend new fans to start with "Necroshine" for some riffalicious modern thrash. The 80s stuff just isn't for me so I can't comment on those without being biased. It's just the simple fact that if I want 80s thrash, I'll turn to Slayer, Testament, Metallica, Dark Angel, Blood Feast, At War, Possessed, Death, Onslaught, etc etc... The darker side of thrash if you will... But for the new millenium, I must say that Overkill packs a metalized punch that all fans must appreciate.
