OVERKILL - Under The Influence – Demos & Rough Mixes CD
Before it was a classic, it was this.
Spring 1988. Overkill are locked in, building what would become one of the defining records in Thrash Metal history. Under The Influence didn't just cement their reputation — it proved that New Jersey could hit just as hard as the Bay Area or Germany. Blitz, D.D. Verni and the rest of the crew at their most focused and ferocious.
But before the final mix, before the mastering, before the release — there were the demos. Raw, unfiltered, and completely uncompromising. This is where the record was actually born.
Seven demo versions. Ten rough mixes. Seventeen tracks that peel back the studio sheen and expose the pure aggression underneath. For the serious Overkill fan this isn't just a curiosity — it's an essential companion to one of thrash metal's most important albums. The bones of a classic, laid bare.
Limited to 200 copies.
