Watch Overkill - Live at Wacken '07

Overkill, one of the most long-standing heavy metal bands around, released their "Live at Wacken '07" DVD in 2008. This metal band was formed in 1980 in New Jersey, and since then, they went on to become one of the foundational groups for the thrash metal movement. The DVD features the band's entire Wacken Open Air festival performance in 2007, recorded in their high intensity style that they're known for. And to add to the excitement of it all, this performance is held in front of over 70,000 screaming fans. The show starts with the classic Overkill hit, "Necroshine", and from that point on, the 80-minute concert is non-stop energy and chaos.

The legendary Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth stands front and center on stage, his raspy voice bellowing out the classic hits that the band is known for. Guitarists Dave Linsk and Derek Tailer shred through each riff with precision and speed, while bassist D.D. Verni and drummer Tim Mallare bring the thunderous rhythm section.

As the concert goes on, it's clear that Overkill hasn't lost any of their energy over the years. Their music is loud and aggressive, yet the band's tight sound keeps each song together. As for the setlist, it's an all-out assault on the senses with classic hits such as "Deny the Cross", "Elimination", and "Hello from the Gutter", all the way up to songs from their then-new album, "Immortalis".

One of Overkill's biggest strengths is their ability to create songs that have catchy, melodic choruses while still being able to delve deep into heavy thrash pandemonium. This is highlighted perfectly in their live performance of "Bastard Nation", where it's a headbanging frenzy interspersed with the brilliantly hooky chorus that leads to the crowd chanting along with the band.

The band's chemistry is also on full display, with Ellsworth constantly engaging with the audience and the musicians constantly in motion on stage. The setting also plays a part in making this concert so memorable, with the massive stage and the massive crowd making the performance a true spectacle.

Overall, the Overkill Live at Wacken '07 DVD is a must-see for any fan of heavy metal or thrash metal. With a high-energy performance, a setlist full of classics and newer hits, and a stage presence unmatched by most modern bands, Overkill is still at the top of their game, and this concert captures them at their best. It's an intense, loud, and unforgettable performance that fans of all ages will appreciate.
