New Jersey thrash metal veterans OVERKILL have inked a multi-album deal with Nuclear Blast Records. The band's new CD, "Ironbound" — which is described as a true "thrasher-piece" — is scheduled for release on January 29, 2010.

"Good to be with a label that understands what OVERKILL are about and what metal is about in 2010; exciting!" singer Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth said in a statement.

Added Nuclear Blast A&R representative Jaap Wagemaker: "Growing up with classics such as 'Feel The Fire', 'Taking Over' and 'The Years Of Decay' and seeing the band countless times playing live, it is sure to say that one of our favorite bands of all time has finally found their home at the powerhouse that Nuclear Blast is today! We are very much looking forward to start working with OVERKILL and are eager to release their new album, 'Ironbound', to the masses! A new album on which they have returned to their old-school thrash roots!"

"Ironbound" track listing:

01. The Green And Black
02. Ironbound
03. Bring Me The Night
04. The Goal Is Your Soul
05. Give A Little
06. Endless War
07. The Head And Heart
08. In Vain
09. Killing For A Living
10. The SRC

* Limited digipak
* CD Jewelcase
* LP (180g vinyl) in gatefold
* LP (180g green vinyl) in gatefold (Nuclear Blast Mailorder exclusive)
* Strictly limited mailorder edition

The band is already working on a new European tour for 2010.

Well, that makes three essential purchases in 2010 so far.....
....I can't say I dislike anything the band has done, but Taking Over is my favorite album. If this is anything like that one, I'm sold! ..

I like hearing the words "multi-album deal." You keep making records, and I'll keep buying them.

I like the sound of MULTI ALBUM DEAL, which means my ears, head, and blood can look forward to more of the best in thrash for many years to come...
....Not sure I understand the "have returned to their old-school thrash roots" since I never thought Overkill left their thrash roots, but I chalk that up to marketing.
..
....BTW: Great cover art... but haven't they all been?....
....I know what I'll be listening to on January 29 (or maybe earlier)....

..Excellent News!!! Overkill never fail and I consider them the only band from the early days to have never sold out and continue to release solid metal albums!!! Now if this a true return to form of the classic thrash from the early years then it indeed will be a masterpiece!!!! Regardless it still will be one of the best albums of the year and another great album by one of the best bands in the history of metal!!! ........Get your asses down to Lousiana and wreck some necks!!!! We need some real metal bands to finally play here again!!!!  ..
