Overkill - Feel the Fire

 
Cost: $2.00 

Obviously, I would have bought any pressing of this album for two bucks, but I was especially pleased to see that this was the very first CD pressing on Megaforce when I looked it up on Discogs.

I never gave it much thought before, but I realize now that aside from "There's No Tomorrow," all of the stuff I personally like is concentrated on the second half of the album. Rarely see the greatness of "Kill at Command" mentioned, and while I don't think it would be my favorite song, it's certainly one of the better ones.


In my head, I often tend to severely overestimate the amount of USPM influence here. Sure, there are parts strewn across the album and there are varying amounts of traditional metal in the guitarwork, but for some reason I always think of it having fairly pure USPM songs like Show No Mercy. Not a nitpick at all, just a peculiar false mental association I seem to make whenever I reach for this.
