Overkill is an American thrash metal band, formed in 1980 in New Jersey. Along with Nuclear Assault and Anthrax, the latter of whom would feature one-time Overkill lead guitarist Dan Spitz, the band is one of the most successful East Coast thrash metal bands, and they are often called 'the Motorhead of thrash metal', based on their unique playing style, which was influenced by punk rock and the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM). The band has sold over 16 million records worldwide; they are also estimated to have sold more than 625,000 records in the U.S. since the beginning of the SoundScan era.

Album
25 March 2003
'Killbox 13' is the twelfth studio album by Overkill. The name stems from the fact that the band considers this to be their thirteenth release because they include the Overkill E.P. (1985) as their first. It is the first album with rhythm guitarist Derek Tailer. It received much critical acclaim because some of the songs marked a return to the raw unpolished thrash style exhibited on the first album Feel The Fire, which Overkill had gradually moved away from afterwards.
