OVERKILL Premiers "Welcome To The Garden State" Music Video; The Wings Of War Out Now
February 22, 2019, 5 years ago
Overkill have unleashed their 19th studio album, The Wings Of War, via Nuclear Blast. In celebration, the band offer fans a music video for "Welcome To The Garden State". Check out the infectious song and video that pays homage to Jersey below.
Bobby Blitz comments, "Not before in our video history have we presented something so artistically-seedy. This due to the brilliant yet twisted, vision of the editing room genius, behind the camera magic and damn tenacity of Mr. Tommy Jones; a good standing card carrying Jersey Boy, who did the band and the state proud. We had verbalized the story line to Tommy, who fully got it and we all created something to be proud of. So when you visit the Garden State, see or hear something that is different for you and you think, 'hmmmm that's not the way we do it at home.' Remember this, you're not at home anymore... are you?"
Tonight, the band is hosting a special listening party at Jamesburg Elks Lounge 2180. The night, hosted by Old Bridge Militia Foundation, will include performances by Headmotor and Alex Kayne as well as raffles and giveaways.
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.
