September 26th, 2014 at Webster Theater in Hartford, CT. —
Thrash metal legends, Overkill, call New Jersey home, but on Friday night, Connecticut was family. One of the most awaited shows of the season and it was worth every last sweat soaked minute at The Webster Theater.
They performed songs from Feel the Fire and Taking Over through The Electric Age and White Devil Armory, their newest released that dropped this year.
Ellsworth (vocals) proved his vocals are as strong today as they were in 1980 and with the support of the band, their whole set was kick ass metal!

Armorist
Overkill
Electric Rattlesnake
Wrecking Crew
Black Daze
Rotten to the Core
Bring Me the Night
End of the Line
