I’ve been a fan of the band Overkill for 25 years.<\/p>

They have remained consistently great at what they do, both on album and live, since they formed in 1981.<\/p>

When you listen to an Overkill album, you pretty much know what to expect.\u00a0 And if you’re a fan, that’s a great thing.<\/p>

They have had many line up changes, but the singer Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth and bassist\/backing vocalist D.D. Verni have been there since day one and have flown the Overkill flag high.<\/p>

Why this band is not bigger I don’t know.<\/p>

It’s hard to rank their discography because I can honestly say it’s all great.<\/p>

But here it goes:<\/p>

  1. Ironbound<\/li>
  2. The Electric Age<\/li>
  3. Feel The Fire<\/li>
  4. Taking Over<\/li>
  5. W.F.O.<\/li>
  6. The Years Of Decay<\/li>
  7. Killbox 13<\/li>
  8. Under The Influence<\/li>
  9. ReliXIV<\/li>
  10. Immortalis<\/li>
  11. Wrecking Everything (Live Album)<\/li>
  12. The Grinding Wheel<\/li>
  13. The Wings Of War<\/li>
  14. Scorched<\/li>
  15. Coverkill (Covers Album)<\/li>
  16. Bloodletting<\/li>
  17. I Hear Black<\/li>
  18. From The Underground And Below<\/li>
  19. The Killing Kind<\/li>
  20. White Devil Armory<\/li>
  21. Necroshine<\/li>
  22. Wrecking Your Neck (Double Live Album)<\/li>
  23. Live In Overhausen (Live Album\/DVD)<\/li>
  24. Power In Black (1st demo)<\/li>
  25. Fuck You And Then Some (featuring one new song, live stuff, and their self titled demo)<\/li><\/ol>

    Like most of these rankings, I could easily change them because again, they’re all great.<\/p>

    And they may have a new album out this year 2026.\u00a0 Hope so.\u00a0 I know they’re working on one.<\/p>

    Once it’s out, I’ll add it to my rankings.<\/p>
