Legendary New Jersey thrashers, Overkill, will unleash their 19th studio album, The Wings Of War, on February 22nd via Nuclear Blast. Today, the band launches Part 3 of their multi-part documentary series, Welcome To The Garden State.

Watch below as as the band details their opinion of how the East coast sound is different from the West coast.

Bobby Blitz comments "This healthy competition, it wasn't something that had roots it was pretty fucking new, that was the beauty of it. You couldn't even steal something from someone else it was still being created simultaneous while it was being created in Germany, UK and South America. As time has gone by, it has become a formula but back then it was just this sounds good and it was the same recipe that made it sound good. So that was the cool camaraderie  that we all  kinda knew where the other one came from by looking them in the eyes, they didn't need to say anything. You just knew."

In Part 2, each of the band members detail their early influences and how it has helped shape the genre and their sound:
