[@WhoisVinnie]

Love your PFP by the way. Human!

[@blashyrkhification]

Over Kill is one of my favorite bands, this is the first time I heard this tape, is awesome

[@reignofterrorzion3211]

Seen them in "85" then again with Slayer in "86" with Slayer and Death Angel at the Ritz. 12.6."1986".

[@ricklindberg4228]

Fucking great! Love Overkill. Raw, fast, and heavy. Sounds amazing even before Feel the Fire was out. Saw them about 6 or 7 times. Was at Lamours in Brooklyn in '89 or '90 when Dark Angel opened for them. 2 nights in a row! Was there both nights. Great shows. Death rider should have been on Feel the Fire. Legendary song. Overkill is New York thrash personified.

[@ognjenmilenkovic3050]

Love the bass volume here

[@dickwhiskey8041]

This demo shows those necro black metal lads what atmosphere is really about! Raise The Dead is terrifying!

[@roxannestorm2616]

To me and in my honest opinion Rat Skates is one of best metal drummers I ever heard. He is a great drummer with the most awesome coolest name Rat Skates and it's a sad sad shame that he's not with Overkill anymore.

[@WhoisVinnie]

Imagine if he played Hello From The Gutter. That's my favorite song but it didn't feature him because he already before then.

[@robertdentzer1159]

I agree,I loved rat skates’ playing 🤘

Never understood why death rider wasnt on feel the fire‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ such a good ass song 1 of my favorites

[@KevinOrtega1980]

Agreed! I never understand why some bands don’t put a kick ass song from a demo to a LP. Polish this up a bit and this would really kill

[@runoflife87]

Because it wasn't your-typical Overkill.

[@mikevalentine9556]

Great times Great band saw them many times. Rat is a great drummer and cool dude. Bobby, Didi, n Bobby Gus. One of the best metal quartets of there time.....😎🤘🤘🤘

Riding the wind on a stormy night Rides a mother's son to take your life They say he died ten years ago But the list of victims seems to grow "Like father, like son," the Bible read Three sixes brand the top of his head Never heard, seen, then too late Overkill seals your fate

[@SerenOctave]

Best fucking thing i've ever listened to

[@leethomas255]

Thanks for the download man, 34 years ago, the songs are 2 years old by this stage, and STILL sound as great as they did then, a testimony to great talent and a great 4 piece

[@michaellazor5667]

I wish they would release it on vinyl.

[@kimikimi6193]

Bobby was 24 here I think but he sounds younger. His talent is well evident though.

[@pedroosante503]

The intro is very similar to ángeles del infierno maldito sea tu nombre

I Have This On Bootleg Version On CD Overkill First Kills The Early Works Including Power In Black And Under The Influence Demo.

[@attilathehun0]

The vocals and bass at times are over riding the guitar on the first song.

[@joedenby2645]

Was this ever reissued or included on a compilation?

[@skeletorwins5567]

I don’t think so

[@ElUltimoLeviathan7901]

yes, in fact it was remastered on the album "Rotten To The Core"
