9. Overkill The Years of Decay 1989
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlmPnkF2LtM Hailing from New Jersey and seen by many as the only other East Coast Thrash metal band of any note. (Anthrax being the other). Overkill was bass player DD Vernis baby and this is clear by how ridiculously loud his instrument is in the mix of their recorded output. This is undoubtedly their magnum opus and has sold an impressive 4 million copies. Showing more depth than ever before on the ballad like title track and some great riffs across the record as a whole. Front man Bobby blitz Ellsworths vocals can repel as much as they attract, so be warned.
