Overkill frontman Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth guested on Episode 15 of That Rocks!, which was livestreamed on August 17th. Check out the interview below. It begins at the 28:24 mark.
On August 6th, Overkill performed in the MetLife Stadium Parking Lot G in East Rutherford, NJ. It was the same day Metallica brought their M72 World Tour to the stadium itself.
Blitz commented: "It was a nice way to kick it (the Metallica show) off. Just a little bit of extra for the kids, especially that so many were from Jersey. For them, they obviously know us - whether they're Overkill fans or not is another question - but the fact they're New Jersey metalheads as a majority they know who we are, so they get the option or the experience hours before the Metallica show happens."
Fan-filmed video of Overkill's entire parking lot show can be viewed below. The setlist was as follows:
"Scorched"
"Bring Me The Night"
"Electric Rattlesnake"
"Hello From The Gutter"
"Powersurge"
"Wicked Place"
"The Surgeon"
"Ironbound"
"Elimination"
"Rotten To The Core"
"Fuck You"
