Infernal Overkill is like a shreddier Show No Mercy.

3.0 goodBedex | February 11th 20

Not awfully bad, but man I still can't get into thrash metal classics. Nearly every track bar the instrumental 6 (mindless but with some cool sections) has a wankery solo in it, which is a shame. Thankfully they're generally not too long. Vocals are generally quite good. The good riffage is quite scarce and the songs feel more speedy than they feel brutal really. 5 despite a meh intro is the strongest track here and could be a jam if it weren't for the midtrack solo which warrants the record a point. The prod gets quite bad in places eg on 2, and overall this record just feels like it is hesitant to be a more brutal and aggressive early death metal album but doesn't quite manage to be a fun thrash metal either, the songs except 5 just feel like they like fluff and substance. Far, far from being the worst thrash I've heard though - there is hope. 2.8

4.0 excellentResident Metalhead Piranha | April 3rd 17

Among the most acquired tastes in the genre, Destruction certainly stand out for a number of reasons already established: unique, razor-sharp guitar tones, frantic soloing and riffing, black metal flared vocals, memorable choruses (not the genre's forte), and variable production values. Infernal Overkill may sport polarizing production values but it's home to some of their best songs, riffs, breakdowns, and solos ever. They would later perfect their riffcraft, but this is home to a rawness never recaptured since.
