OVERKILL stands as one of Motorhead's greatest albums, an all-time heavy metal classic. After creating a buzz amongst British headbangers with their 1977 self-titled album, Motorhead began seriously assaulting the U.K. charts with this breakout sophomore hit, which was produced by the Rolling Stones' former knob-twiddler Jimmy Miller.
The songwriting and musical direction had become stronger and more focused, as evidenced by such raucous Motorhead classics as the title track, "Stay Clean," "Capricorn," "No Class," and the epic "Metropolis." OVERKILL began a string of hit European albums for the band, which would include such future metal gems as BOMBER, ACE OF SPADES, and NO SLEEP 'TIL HAMMERSMITH.
Includes liner notes by Steffan Chirazi.Q (7/01, p.88) - Included in Q's "50 Heaviest Albums of All Time".
Q (10/96, p.187) - 3 Stars - Good - "OVERKILL pretty much set the tone for the next 10 years of Motorhead's career-Clarke's guitars doing their best to expand on Lemmy's extraordinarily terse bass lines...Taylor's drums splashing around like hippos, and Lemmy's...hoarse angry...voice shouting out basic and succinct songs..."
Blender (Magazine) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "No band ever quite matched the lager-and-amphetamine thrill of late-'70s Motorhead as they forged the missing link between punk and heavy metal." Overkill Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Hard 'n' fast
Lemmy and the boys know how to rock it out and they enhance that power with Overkill! Well-produced and the artwork is STUPENDOUS like all Motorhead albums!
A MUST!!

This will always stand out among both Motörheads albums and in the Metal genre in general as one of the most influential albums of all time. Overkill sucks you dry from the first moment, yet creates new energy for you. Leaves you begging for mercy from the first second. Amazing, astouding, completely impossible to miss this record for Motörhead fans. If you have a Harley Davidson Chopper, it would be a shame not to own this cd.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Classic
Along with the first Black Sabbath album, this is one of the most influential releases to shape the face of metal. They fused elements of Sabbath and the Ramones and gave birth to the eighties thrash movement. Without Motorhead there would be no Metallica or Anthrax as we know them. Check out the title track as well as lesser known gems such as Limb From Limb and I'll Be Your Sister.

Motorhead were riding high in the early-'80s, courtesy of such big U.K. hit albums as ACE OF SPADES and NO SLEEP 'TIL HAMMERSMITH, so there was no reason to worry about an imminent, career-threatening turmoil. Or so fans thought. Problems were brewing behind the scenes--longtime guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke would be exiting the band after only one more studio album, 1982's IRON FIST. Produced by ...
| | Motorhead No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith CD (1981)
Overkill songs
$9.99
Unlike many heavy metal contemporaries, Motorhead leader Lemmy possesses self-deprecating humour. Stripped of pretension, he goads the basic three-chord trick with a full-throated bellow, emphasizing his trio's vicious racket. On this live selection the group reprise the cream of their back catalogue with untrammelled venom, in the process destroying already power-packed studio counterparts. Continuing a line from the MC5 and Stooges, rather than gothic fantasy, the band understand the excitement of noise and exploit it to its full potential. Thrash metal and hardcore owe them a debt but, as this album proves, there is only one Motorhead.
Released in 1981, the live album No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith recaps the highlights from the legendary run of albums Motörhead released during the prior few years, namely Overkill, Bomber, and Ace of Spades. The band's lesser self-titled debut album is also accounted for here with two inclusions ("Motörhead" and "Iron Horse"), but by and large, the focus is on the standout songs from the aforementioned trio of classics. This alone makes No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith noteworthy, for it plays like a greatest-hits set, opening perfectly with "Ace of Spades." But what makes it all the more noteworthy -- and more than simply a run-of-the-mill, gap-filling ...
| | Motorhead Another Perfect Day CD (1983) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Overkill album
$9.99
When it became known that "Fast" Eddie Clarke had split from Motorhead, heavy metal fans feared the end of this hard-living trio. But when it was announced that ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson was joining drummer Phil Taylor and bassist/lead growler Lemmy, another typically styled Motorhead release could have understandably been anticipated.
However, while 1983's ANOTHER PERFECT DAY was still unmistakably a Motorhead album, Robertson brought in with him some musical elements that caused quite a bit of controversy amongst longtime fans--most notably the subtle use of synthesizers. Still, such furious tracks as "Shine" and "Dancing on Your Grave" showed that this new line-up held promise. But ANOTHER PERFECT DAY would be the only Motorhead release to feature Robertson, as he exited after the subsequent tour (as did longtime drummer Taylor), leaving Lemmy the lone original member.
To this day, Another Perfect Day remains one of the most unique (albeit misunderstood) albums in the entire Motörhead catalog. The band's first effort sans legendary axe-meister "Fast" Eddie Clarke (following six albums, of which at least three are still considered timeless classics), Another ...

With the dual guitar attack of Wurzel and Phil Campbell solidified after the release of 1986's ORGASMATRON (Motorhead's strongest studio album since 1980's classic ACE OF SPADES), the band went directly back into the studio to record a follow-up, 1987's ROCK 'N' ROLL. The album featured the welcome return of original drummer Phil Taylor, who had been briefly replaced ...
| | Ali Akbar Khan Traditional Music Of India CD (1995)
Overkill music CDs
$9.65
Along with Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan stands out as a musician whose work caused America and the West to pay attention to Indian classical in the 1960s. This disc combines two albums from 1965: Traditional Music of India and The Soul of Indian Music, both originally on Prestige. The re-release offers Michael Gold's informative and occasionally hilarious original liner notes as well. Akbar Khan plays the sarod, which is similar to the sitar but with a resonating body at both ends of the strings, and fewer sympathetic strings. He is accompanied by uncredited musicians on the tamboura (a stringed drone instrument) and the tabla (the paired drums with the distinctive hollow sound ...

"Bring The Noise" was nominated for Best Metal Performance in the 37th annual Grammy Awards.
Recorded during a historic genre-shattering tour which they co-headlined with Public Enemy, LIVE: THE ISLAND YEARS is wonderfully illustrative of why Anthrax entered the '90s as one of modern metal's brightest hopes. Not only are they able to sustain their thrashy ...

Although they formed around the same time as such renowned first wave U.K. punk acts as the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the Damned, the U.K. Subs usually get lost in the shuffle. This can be attributed mainly to the fact that their debut album, 1979's Another Kind of Blues, was not issued until three years after their inception (and many would agree, after ...

"...Heavy as plutonium, this, like a 21st century incarnation of Magma's operatic "zheul" onslaught. Disjointed, pounding drum programmes mix with deep, detuned bass guitar-riffs and electronic buzz saw drones to create a relentless suite of Industrial sludge-Prog heaviness."Daniel Spicer Jazzwise"... Prepare your mind's eye for a venture into a steely-edged and somewhat phantasmagorical joyride. The artists' bag of tricks is rooted within an otherworldly mergence of King Crimson-type bone-crushing rhythms, along with riotous jazz riffs. James Huggett generates some shock treatment with his blitzing and rather weighty e-bass attack. And with some industrial music overtones, the quartet's pulsating ostinato rhythmic gyrations serve as a foundation for a sonic trip into the halls of doom."Glenn Arista All About Jazz"...I'm simply blown away by the complexity The Dematerialised Passenger. The album is one of the best to come out this year for sure. Technically, the album is flawless, every song seems to flow perfectly within the construct. People always say that the sophomore release is always the hardest, but Combat Astronomy show here that they're more than up for the task of recreating and exploring new areas of sound without losing what made them so great in the first place. Fans of heavy guitar-Industrial music will love this album for sure." GunHedWetworkzineAfter the acclaimed release of Lunik on cult german noise/industrial label Adnoiseam in 2001, reclusive mastermind James Huggett, gathered his forces and returning to the isolation of the studio again to begin a much more ambitious piece of work: a modern day industrial progressive epic that would represent everything he had strived and sacrificed for. Ending a five-year hiatus of playing guitar, his new songs began to form around a core of thick, gritty bass guitar and martial programmed acoustic drums. A conversation with fellow British improvisational musician and composer Martin Archer sparked sparked a highly productive ...
