Overkill - The Answer

[@adriftingspiral2]

If strange beings from another world came to Earth, and asked; "What is this that you call metal?" ......... I would point at Overkill and crank the fkin' volume....

[@Necroshine95]

SERIOUSLY!!! THEY NEED TO START PLAYING THIS SONG LIVE AGAIN

[@jayclauss3198]

Glad I found a copy of this 20 plus years ago..DD acted all shocked when i whipped it out for a signature.

[@Ian-nl9yd]

This should be re-recorded on Overkill's next album.

[@Christopher-wy7ne]

It's perfect as is.

[@RedFlyRuledByTheRiff]

I would like to re submit this idea for 2025-26!🤘🤘🤘

[@TinaTaem]

so i was looking forward to buying some overkill vinyl on Discogs i ended up came across this Overkill EP 3 for Sale so i got my First Overkill EP and Brought it from Trenton New Jersey before Christmas happened in December of 2022. i know that rotten to the core, fatal if swallowed, Overkill is from feel the fire and taking over their 2 studio albums but the answer song was never on their Overkill Studio albums maybe Bobby Blitz he forgotten about the song put as a bonus track on their albums. this is probably the Rarest Overkill Vinyl EP came from 1984 that i ever owned from my Thrash Metal Collection as now in the future.

[@winparerurk6578]

some mood has recalled me to the master 'Black Sabbath'.

[@markcannell9339]

Masterpiece 🤘🫵💚🦇💀🦇💚🤘🫵

[@TinaTaem]

The Answer the song sounds like their Debut Album Feel the Fire or Taking Over if you hear Bobby Blitz's Voice when he sings in the song.

[@schtevethepirate]

Oh I know that this was one of the first Metal songs. Thats why I like it. The 8th Diesease a my 80's metal tribute band that I have. In fact Overkill is our biggest influence on us. We strive to sound like them, thats y I said that it sounds a lot like my band.

[@Khanin2718]

I don't know what the question is, but this sure as fuck is the Answer \m/

[@kaori_kanzaki]

Does anyone know where i can find the live version of this song?

[@Christopher-wy7ne]

My favorite OK song!

[@hermananaya2383]

Hi, can you upload the rest of this ep? i can´t find rotten to the core from this EP...thank you!

[@kingdiamondtheeye]

This is the Overkill EP not the Rotten to the Core demo.

[@dkyelak]

I thought this song should have been released on a proper album. I met Blitz and forgot to ask him about it.

[@DasWehrmacht666]

8:02 is the heaviest riff I have ever heard.

[@LORDGOAT1976]

A very good live band too.

[@rollforeverderbs]

Should have been a bonus track on Taking Over. Either that or The Years of Decay.

[@lorenzomilone8547]

rollforeverderbs I also think this song deserved much more,but I also think they took riffs off of this particular track to make Skullkrusher,so they already put a much slower song in an album,even if The Answer has a monolithic and heavier sound. They already did something similar with The Beast Within and Fear His Name

[@Jasonconfused]

You can find this on iTunes. It's on the album !!!Fuck You!!! and Then Some.

[@ulyssedrouot8820]

HELL AWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITS

[@GobbsBrown]

first best song

[@ichqici1999]

actually yes

[@ichqici1999]

first black metal,death metal,thrash metal song.

[@exanimusofficial]

not sure how you get black metal and death metal out if this

[@hellspawnvicious9990]

Um no

[@vgmaster9]

Doom metal

[@UpIrons777]

Sounds more like Black Sabbath than it does Overkill.

[@sinbysin666]

first song ever

[@jimlakedemon]

GOOD DRAMATIC SONG INSPIRED FROM SABBATH!

[@devilsbride138]

holy shit

[@overkillforever1]

it was more of a doom metal song than a groove metal song

[@Chriib]

Correct, but overkill has never been a groove metal band. Weird comment

[@headbangerscastle]

doom

[@hjejmnse1]

@InTheArmsOfGod i hear the doors

[@schtevethepirate]

this song sounds a lot like my band The 8th Diesease.

[@thelastowitch]

correction, you sound a lot like this song

[@dkyelak]

Agreed. Sounds like they picked it apart for songs like Rotten, Feel the Fire, and Skull Krusher. Wish they would just redo it.

[@InTheArmsOfGod]

Not sure what their official influences were, but I hear Sabbath, Maiden, and Kiss in this song.

[@nergalshagrath6667]

They got influenced from motorhead and punk bands and classic. Metal bands

[@eye453]

answer is blitz

[@IronDeath]

@schtevethepirate you do know that this was one of the first Metal songs written right? Word it better next time ;)

[@exanimusofficial]

metal started in 1970 and this song came out in 1985 so you’re incredibly wrong

[@eye453]
