Guitar International's Robert Cavuoto has issued an interview with OVERKILL frontman Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth. An excerpt follows:

Q: What makes you most proud about Overkill after 30 years and 16 LPs?

A: "That the old guys can still come through occasionally (laughing)! The thing that makes me proud about Overkill is our long history and we still have current value. We’re rooted in the past with regard to how the songs are written but still represent our style now in 2012. It’s a contemporary thing. It’s not about what we were, but about what we are!"

Q: How do you stay true to yourself and your style with every record?

A: "We live in a box with fucking blinders on (laughing). I guess not paying attention to the rest of the world I suppose. There is something to be said for that. When DD Verni and I signed up for this 30 years ago it was because we loved it. There was something powerful in the scene that we were attracted to it. This calling to continue and stay the course was really a natural thing for us. Our catalogue speaks for itself. At the end of the day, regardless of how song starts, it will end up as an Overkill song. That stamp as to be on it. It’s not something that we try to do; I attribute a lot of that to my partner D.D.. There are tons of bass players out there but when you put on an Overkill record even before I open my mouth you can recognize the bass playing as Overkill."
