Overkill Planning To Release New Album In 2026

During a recent interview with Misplaced Straws, Overkill bassist D.D. Verni offered an update on the band’s new album. According to him, the effort will be released in 2026.

Verni said the following:

“We are demoing stuff right now. We probably have maybe nine or 10 songs kind of scratched out that I gave to Blitz [OVERKILL singer Bobby Ellsworth] a little while ago. Usually the process is I’ll demo everything up musically [and] then I’ll give it to Blitz. He’ll spend some time with it and kind of do his thing with them. Then we get everybody together, kind of that. So I gave it to Blitz maybe not too long ago.”

He also added the following about release plans:

“I would think next year, for sure. Just when will it be — spring? Will it be fall? Somewhere in there. But [in] ’26 [there] will definitely be a new OVERKILL record.”
