The second album from the re-formed band... a bit of a departure from their 80s style but still a solid thrash metal album. Produced by Doyle Bright of Rigor Mortis and is "a conscious effort to achieve the feel and sound of "Tales of Terror" (1985) and "Death and Insanity," (1986)," according to original bassist Tommy Steward. Also back on this release is original singer Stacy Anderson. There's a variety of tracks worth checking out, "Dance Of The Dead," displaying their classic pacing riffs and solos. The drums are fast and intense in "Bed Of Nails," with vocals echoing long and wide with the guitar riffs echoing just as far, breaking out into a killer non-stop solo. "Through Dark And Dawn," and "The Sun Must Die" shows intros that have their own creative way of opening the tracks. Not their greatest album, but still a strong "comeback" effort worthing checking out.

What the hell is this? If you're a classic metal band looking to make a comeback please, sound somewhat like you did before so we know it's you! This cd sounds like it was a demo recording to get their deal for the Tales of Terror album but with a different vocalist they had to fire because he was the weak link in the band and just plain sucked! There is no original sound to the band. The vocals and music sound like a garage band trying to make it in the high school talent show! They were so damn good back in the day when they had heart and most of all the soul to play great heavy metal. Now it seems everyone is broke so they get their old band back together, use the old name to use it as recognition and then put out half ass music and expect people to buy it and go to their shows! Sorry. Fat, out of shape old men rehashing their classics doing reunion shows is getting old. Overkill never gave up and put out killer stuff and yes, they're old but they still kick ass. Some bands need to stay retired and not come back to save face. It's like making Blues Brothers 2000. Big mistake.
