Overkill - 'Scorched' (official music video)

Way down deep in the fire
Way down deep in the flame
Way down deep in the hole I dug
Way down Deep in the pain
I' a flash in your atmosphere
Atomic wind blowing into your night
Crash and burn, let me make it clear
And give 'em just a little light

Will you miss me when I'm gone
Will you kiss me at rebirth
Will you miss me dead and gone
Gone to scorch the earth

Scorch the earth, scorch your brain
Scorch your dreams and what remains
Scorch the good, scorch the bad
The best damn firestorm you ever had
Scorch the earth, scorch your brain
Scorch your dreams and what remains
Scorch the good, scorch the bad
The best damn firestorm you ever had

Way up there in the heavens
Way up beyond the sky
Way up there where God looks down
Way up where I get high

Will you miss me when I'm gone
Will you kiss me at rebirth
Will you miss me dead and gone
Gone to scorch the earth

Scorch the earth, scorch your brain
Scorch your dreams and what remains
Scorch the good, scorch the bad
The best damn firestorm you ever had
Scorch the earth, scorch your brain
Scorch your dreams and what remains
Scorch the good, scorch the bad
The best damn firestorm you ever had

Speak to me in my own tongue
Scorch the earth, all the land my son
Hide your face in the vail of shame
While cracking the whip and bringing the pain

Scorch the earth, scorch your brain
Scorch your dreams and what remains
Scorch the good, scorch the bad
The best damn firestorm you ever had
Scorch the earth, scorch your brain
Scorch your dreams and what remains
Scorch the good, scorch the bad
The best damn firestorm you ever had

Scorching the earth

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία τετραετία για τους Overkill με το εικοστό full length album της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας. "Scorched" ο τίτλος και κυκλοφόρησε μόλις χθες από την Nuclear Blast, με τον Bobby Blitz να μας λέει σχετικά:

«This is the longest ever between Overkill releases, Feb '19 to April '23! For me, it became my 'peterpandemic' go-to. I wrote my part, tore it down, then again and again. I found myself still changing parts while Colin was mixing! It became the normal in a very abnormal time, sanity amongst the insanity.

Somewhere in 'Scorched' that is all reflected, a common thread, it is the place I went to get what I needed, maybe what 'we' needed. It's different, that's for sure an old-school approach / mix in a modern world... was it worth the wait? You tell me... see ya on the road! Horns up!»
