Overkill (EP)

Overkill is the first extended play (EP) recorded by thrash metal band Overkill released in 1985 on Azra/Metal Storm records. It is the band's first album, preceding their debut studio album Feel the Fire. Released only on vinyl, the EP has been seen as a rare collector's item amongst Overkill fans, and all tracks are included on the !!!Fuck You!!! And Then Some compilation.
