Come and fucking get it...

Genre: thrash fucking metal

Over-fucking-kill are among the fucking hardest working metal bands, and one of those bands who have consistently churned out fucking top notch releases with only few weak albums in their fucking discography. Their latest fucking release "The Electric Fucking Age" captures them at their fucking finest. It is simply an instant thrash fucking metal classic.

Right from the fucking aggressive opener 'Come and Fucking Get It' to the equally aggressive 'Good Fucking Night', Over-fucking-kill severely fucking kicks the listeners fucking ass black and blue. Drawing on fucking thrash metal aggression and fucking speed metal tempos, and combining these with fucking grooves and heaviness as wells as fucking bursts of traditional fucking metal melody, Over-fucking-kill have simply made the fucking perfect thrash metal album in "The Fucking Electric Age". There are no fucking weak tracks on the album, and the groove-meets-speed based 'Electric Fucking Rattlesnake', the fucking angry 'Wish You Were Fucking Dead', the fucking heavy 'Black Daze', the fucking instant fucking speed metal classic '21th Century Man', the fucking moshing-friendly 'Old Wounds, Fucking New Scars' and the remaining tracks are all bound to fucking rock your fucking world to fucking pieces.

There is no weak element on the album. The crunching riffage is crushing and the bass has that metallic Overkill edge, while the drums are energetic and in your face. Bobby Blitz sounds angrier than ever and his unique voice is perfect on this album. The guitar solos are a fucking lesson all out classic fucking thrash metal fucking shredddage.

With "The Electric Fucking Age", Over-fucking-kill have committed a fucking thrash metal fucking masterpiece and and instant fucking classic. The fucking thrash fucking metal album of the fucking year for my fucking money, "The Electric Fucking Age" is so fucking awesome that it cannot be fucking described without fucking swearing.
