The nineteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The band's first album to feature drummer Jason Bittner, making it their first one without Ron Lipnicki since "ReliXIV" (2005), as he had left Overkill shortly after the release of its predecessor "The Grinding Wheel" (2017).
Overkill is still relevant in the Metal scene, and their albums are always a joy to listen to. There’s no end in sight for their soon-to-be forty-year career, and their consistency is unmatched in the Thrash ranks. If you’re already a fan of Bobby and his gang, there are plenty of elements on "The Wings Of War" to enjoy. If you’re new to them, this album is quite a gateway into the realms of the band.
The album peaked at number 158 on the chart, making it Overkill's third-lowest chart position, behind "Taking Over" and "Ironbound". However, "The Wings Of War" was well-received in Europe, particularly on the German charts, where it debuted at number five, making it Overkill's highest-ever chart position.
