For:Fans of thrash metal, classic metal listeners and readers exploring Overkill's discography.

 but the truth is that "Ironbound" is everything you want from a Thrash Metal album: ferocious, hellish, and killer rhythms, fast solos without unnecessary technicalities and with a touch of melody that adds to it, and above all a voice (Blitz's, always a mix between Mustaine Udo and maybe a bit of Bon Scott) nastier and more bastardized than ever.
