Bobby ‘Blitz’ Ellsworth and producer Carl Canedy join Metal Mayhem ROC to celebrate 40 years of Overkill’s debut album, Feel The Fire.

They revisit the early New Jersey club days, the Ithaca, NY recording sessions, and the DIY hustle that helped launch East Coast thrash. Hear behind-the-scenes stories about working with Johnny Z of Megaforce Records, the album’s iconic cover shoot, and early tours with Anthrax and Slayer — plus what’s next for both Overkill and The Rods.

A powerful and nostalgic look back at the spark that lit Overkill’s unstoppable fire.
