This is what Frontman Bobby ‘Blitz’ Ellsworth has to say about the box:
” This offering of a slice of Overkill’s history is unique, in the fact that it highlights a period of time when metal as a whole was not the flavor of the day. Mainstream popularity was gone and it was back to the underground. Our theory was; ‘what the fuck do we have to lose???” and we continued to do what we did best, as opposed to disbanding. In Historikill you can find thrash metal that was still pushing forward in the underground, regardless of the darker days of the genre.”
The press agrees:
“What a beautiful gem this is!
12 years of solid material and a tasty bonus disc with demos and some other goodies, in a great package. Overkill´s history has been a part of me since my childhood, and it will continue to be an unmissable factor in my life until the fat lady sings. All hail the mighty ´kill – the greatest thrash metal band to ever surface from the US.”
