Overkill frontman Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth is featured in a new interview with Underground's Voice. He discusses the band's reputation for being consistent, their latest album The Wings Of War, Overkill's longevity and success, and his project with Mike portnoy (ex-Dream Theater) and Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head).

Blitz: "It makes me a little red-faced when you use the word 'legend' too many times. I still think of myself as a worthwhile contributor to the scene. When you see a living legend cutting his own lawn and working on his own car, he's no longer a legend (laughs). I like to think of myself always as a regular guy who's been a supporter of the scene. It's given me a great opportunity to meet people. I think that that's kind of the cool thing; to be afforded to travel for 30 years and meet people into the same shit I'm into. How cool is that? This shouldn't be an old man's game, but for some reason it's turned into one, which I have no problem with because I still enjoy doing it, and I'll do it as long as I can do it physically."

The Wings Of War was recorded at Gear Recording Studio in New Jersey, SKH Studio in Florida and Jrod Productions with engineering handled by DD and Dave. The album was produced by the band while Chris "Zeuss" Harris.handled the mixing and mastering. Travis Smith (Nevermore, Opeth, etc.) was once again enlisted to create the artwork for the album.
