Overkill - I Hear Black (1993)

 

 Overkill was formed in New Jersey when a previous D.D. Verni/Rat Skates (real names: Carlo Verni and Lee Kundrat - the stage names were tributes to favorite punk bands, the Ramones featuring Dee Dee Ramone, and the Damned, featuring Rat Scabies... Bobby Blitz was taken from The Dead Boys' Johnny Blitz! project) punk band called The Lubricunts, broke up in 1980 (there's a picture of the Lubricunts demo cover in the Wrecking Your Neck liner notes). D.D. quickly wanted to form a new band, so he put out an ad which was answered by guitarist Robert "Riff Thunder" Pisarek (who came up with the name Overkill), but he was quickly replaced by Dan Spitz and Anthony Ammendola.

Early covers (especially those done under the Virgin Killer name in the very very early days) were punk songs for the most part, including selections by the Ramones and The Dead Boys. By 1980, they had recruited two guitarists (names forgotten over time) and the set-list included songs by Motörhead ("Overkill", half of the Ace of Spades album, and others), Judas Priest ("Tyrant" was their closer for awhile), and later Iron Maiden and Riot, as well as a smattering of punk covers which were played with extra distortion, intensity, and concentration on riffs.

In 1981, guitarists Dan Spitz (later of Anthrax) and Anthony Ammendolo left the band and Rich Conte entered with Mike Sherry. At this point, they started writing originals, including "Grave Robbers", "Raise the Dead", "Overkill", and "Unleash the Beast Within". More originals would follow, including "Rotten to the Core". Somewhere around this time Rich and Dan left and Bobby entered with Joe somebody on guitars. The band became a staple at New York and New Jersey clubs around 1982 and soon Bobby lived up to his "Blitz" nickname, earning an ejection from the band for a few days in 1983.

Around this time, the fluorescent green logo was adopted; it was specifically chosen to stand out on a poster with lots of red logos of other bands on the bill.

The line-up would stay consistent until 1987 when "Rat" Skates left the band. He was replaced by Mark Archibole for a few gigs and then on a permanent basis Sid Falck, previously of Paul Di'Anno's Battlezone. Bobby Blitz once said that the only former member he misses is co-founder Rat Skates. Then in 1990, Bobby G. left and was replaced by Rob Cannavino and Merritt Gant (Faith or Fear).

This line-up lasted until 1992 when Tim Mallare came in on drums. Rob and Merritt both left the band in 1995 (Rob became a motorcycle racer and Merritt formed several other bands), being replaced by Joe Comeau (Liege Lord) and Sebastian Marino.

The band underwent a more groove-oriented stylistic shift with I Hear Black in 1993.

Moonblood - Dusk Woerot [demo] (2003)

 

''Torture the flesh with spines
Upon the rack
Then vehemently vanguish the existence
Under a dark coffin
And from the miasmatical impurity
The curst-burnt offering
Shall suppurate a flithy stench of pain

Thou art woerot, what dwells within
Wrath forever, defaced and flaming
Ghastly foetus entangled on me
Doomed and evilers on the
Insanity's domain
Hail Death
Ave Dusk Woerot!!

Grovel into the entrails
Of the regrettable havor
Woerot the unholy woe has been prone
Under the coldest, vilapidated coffin
To celebrate the gloomiest funeral wooing
Ancient ceremony darkened
By the stinl of exhumation
And beyond the epitaph an obsequies
Turn chant and rite
Below death and vereavement of flesh
Where the emaciated souls
Eternally dwell in dreariness
Because that woe shall always
Be mourning and shade
When thy falling comes:
Ave Dusk Woerot!

And when those devious paths
May ensanguine thy flagitious existence
Thou shall exhume the egegious funeral
As the ingrowing pain would be
Inflicted upon us
Where the inquity has crowled
It's almost ghoul
And where we suffer, perpetually
Ourselves scars...
Thus the mournful soul tears the furtive sob
When lightness locerates it's kibosh
And your rabies and your chaos want torture
The tragedian warpoem
The shadow fields of vitterly unheard
Hail Death
Ave Dusk Woerot!''

A vinyl release of the tape was considered for a release in 2003, according to the information on the cover itself. Howver, this never came to be. It was however ultimately released on vinyl as a part of the From Hell box set in 2013.

The band had officially split-up a year prior to when this demo was recorded, and it is the last recording they ever did.
