Movie Reviews of Overkill: Wrecking Everything - An Evening in Asbury Park
Movie Review: Metal at its utter best
Summary: 5 Stars
Being now 42 yrs old I thought I have mellowed over the last 10 or so years. I pretty much stopped listening to extreme metal quite a few years ago and even sold almost all of my old records and cds of bands like Slayer, Testament and (kill me!) Overkill.
A while ago I stumbled over these reviews of this DVD and considered buying it, but subconsious doubts kept me from doing so until last week, when I thought: what the heck, I could always take it back, if it's not to my liking.
Well, let me tell you, the only way this DVD gets out of my house is to steal it. What show, what energy, what fantastic set.
As soon as Necroshine with its powerful hooks started blasting out of my speakers it nearly blew me out of my chair and Thunderhead straight after blew my HM mind. 'Blitz' is a phenomenal front man and the band plays as tight as it gets.
The sound is so monstrously powerful I couldn't help but turn it up to a level that had me worried that my neighbors might call noise control. Song after song these guys played as if it could be their last show. I even enjoyed the light show, which at times features extreme flashes which do nothing but enhance the effect of the music.
Also enjoyed the insightful documentary, which features a lot more concert footage new and old. Quality is not always great, but what should one expect. You don't have a professional recording team at every concert and that they included all of that is a great bonus.
Bottom line: This DVD made me feel young again and puts me into a tricky situation. I feel the need to get a lot of old metal CDs back, especially everything Overkill.
BTW: how unfair is it that greedy have beens and traitors like Metallica make a fortune solely on reputation after outputting one crap record after another, while honest bands like Overkill who stay faithful to their sound and their fans struggle to find any commercial recognition. Anyway, enough for now, just go out and buy this astonishing DVD if you havn't already and support true music. NOW!!
