Overkill vocalist Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth recently guested on WWUH Radio's The House Of Zazz metal show. He discussed the new Overkill release White Devil Armory and the concept behind it and lead single "Armorist", as well as the band's philosophy on balancing their history and thrash metal legacy with a need to stay fresh and able to engage modern audiences. Also on tap are thoughts on the music industry in the post-thrash '90s wastelands versus now, the perks of quality home recording, bassist D.D. Verni's fascination with ornate arsenals, the previously undiscovered connection between Kurt Vonnegut and thrash metal, and why buying your kid Under The Influence on vinyl makes you a contender for parent of the year.

The official music video for the track "Bitter Pill", from Overkill's new album White Devil Armory can be seen below. Commented vocalist Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth: “Hello world, metal world, thrash world! WDA has landed and you my friends are the fucking recipients of the carnage! So, stand up, assume the position, legs apart, bent at the waist...eyes up, neck at the ready! And bang thy motherfucking head, this my friends is "Bitter Pill"! Give 'em hell boys!!!”

About the album, “Blitz” told BraveWords recently: "The hardest thing for me is trying not to repeat myself. I think that’s absolutely a fucking impossibility as a thrash band. I read an article once that had a quote after it, saying how many times can you use the word ‘pain’ and ‘death’? (cackles) It’s probably a more difficult album for me to write, from that perspective, because I try to challenge myself and not fall into that whole thing. With regards to the music, one of the things I’ve noticed is that it’s more of a heavy metal record than the last record. To me, the last one came across as more of a thrash record, maybe a two-dimensional record. This one has more moods and nuances, so let’s say maybe a three-dimensional record."
