OVERKILL To Begin Recording New Album Next Week
September 6, 2020, 3 years ago
Overkill drummer Jason Bittner has checked in with the following recording update:
"COVID won’t stop the new Overkill record from being made..... tracking starts a week from this Monday...... holy shit that’s soon. I’d like to send a HUGE shoutout to a few of my endorsers that know a time crunch and are still here for me during these rough times!"
Back in April, Bittner spoke with Metal Pilgrim, discussing the state of the music world in dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic. Check it out below.
Bittner: "Our plan was to be on the road with a full European tour March 2021 with a new album. We have no idea if that's gonna even be a possibility right now, because timelines that we had for the record label and whatnot are no longer those anymore, because the record label is shut down and nobody is doing any business right this very second. So I don't know, in the grand scheme, whether that's gonna happen, but I do think that's kind of good that this is happening right now, because I know we were starting with five or six songs, and I know D.D. (Verni / bass) is up to nine right now. So, it's given us the freedom to be able to take some more time to write, which I think is important. So I think, in an odd sort of way, this is a good thing for us right now, being home and being forced to work in this environment."
