The definitive metal album....

Review Score: (10/10)
Overkill is one of, if not the greatest metal band ever assembled. Combining Bobby Ellsworth's unique vocal stylings, Sid's extraordinarily riveting drum work, D.D.'s rich and powerful bass lines, and Bobby Gustafson whose technical guitar mastery rivals even the likes of Yngwie Malmsteen and Michael Angelo, helps create an unmistakable sound that is OverKill. If you are prepared to step through the void of ordinary metal and into a higher state of metal consciousness then Years of Decay is the album to get.

Also, I am sick of hearing people complain about Bobby Ellsworth's voice/singing style. Yeah, his singing is admittingly over the top... but think about it... The band is called Overkill, a word synonymous with too much, over the top, or in excess of, so its supposed to be that way. Unfortunately many people just don't get it. Overkill is excessive guitar, overpowering drums and bass, and over the top vocals. The band is too much... but that is the way its supposed to be!
