Overkill Announce Lineup For "Killfest 2" + Studio Update!

Legendary Thrash Metal band Overkill are currently busy in the studio working on their NEW as of yet untitled studio album. The band was actually offered to be part of the current Anthrax and Testament North American tour, but had to decline since they're busy tracking their 16th studio album.

However, Overkill has confirmed that they will be cruising along the Caribbean as part of the "70,000 Tons Of Metal Cruise." They have also announced that they will be hitting the road in the Spring of 2012 with Belphegor, Aborted, Blackguard, System Divide and Diamond Plate. The event dubbed as "Killfest 2" will kickoff on April 20th at the Trocadero Theater in Philadelphia, PA and will conclude on May 12th at the Best Buy Theater in New York City! Complete list of tour-dates below.

Overkill released "Ironbound" in 2010 which charted at 168 on the Billboard Top 200, the bands fastest selling record in 16 years. A video was also filmed for "Bring Me The Night" in Brooklyn, NY with director Kevin Custer (Hatebreed, Testament, Suffocation).
