Overkill (EP)
Overkill is the first extended play 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.
All of the songs from this EP would be re-recorded for the band's future albums; "Rotten to the Core" and "Overkill" were re-recorded for Feel the Fire, while "Fatal If Swallowed" was re-recorded for Taking Over.
