During an interview with The Metal Voice, Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth revealed that Overkill are planning to release their new album in February 2019. He said the following about the effort:
“I think we caught a wave on the last four records. Part of that wave was Ron Lipnicki behind the drums, and Ron is now gone, so I don’t know what to expect. But the beauty of it is that when you’re inside the writing team, that’s what becomes motivational.
“Now, obviously, it’s gonna be a heavy metal record; we don’t deviate so much from our formula. But what is that record gonna sound like? At this point, it sounds like a metal record to me. I think Jason Bittner’s addition to the band is gonna make it bombastic in some cases; he’s the state of the art when it comes to hitting the skins. So I really think that we have an opportunity here to make something that is great. Who knows? It could be a new chapter, and somewhere in that realm of unknown is what excites me now.”
