UPDATE: Hey it's Jake, the guy behind Overkill Radio. If you've noticed our absence of posts and content since early December and all of January so far, I was taking some time off as I had a family emergency. My Dad unexpectedly suffered a mild heart attack in mid December and had to have open heart bypass surgery. That was one of the most intense experiences of my life so far and needed time away to clear my head. After all the waiting and anxiousness among me and family....everything went great with no issues, after a 3 week stay at the hospital he's back at home as I take care of him. He is truly a miracle and was fortunate enough to get the care he needed in time. Furthermore, I am here to announce that I am back in action and we'll get back to starting up the daily music content, ticket giveaway contests, and more!

METAL ALBUM OF THE WEEK:
Iron Maiden - "Killers" - Released in 1981 on EMI Records

"Killers solidified Iron Maiden's reputation as one of the pioneers of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. From beginning to end, Killers is a gritty, high-energy showcase of the band's early sound, filled with raw, galloping rhythms and dark atmospheric melodies. Paul Di'Anno's aggressive vocals bring a punk-infused edge, while the twin guitar work of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith shines. Best tracks include Wrathchild, Murders in the Rue Morgue, Purgatory (SUPER UNDERRATED SONG), Killers, Prodigal Son, and Drifter!"

As heard on our airwaves!
R.I.P. Paul Di'Anno (1958 - 2024)
