Official press release:
For four decades, Overkill have been the trailblazers in producing some of the most signature moments in the world of metal. Earlier this year, the New Jersey Thrash Legends unleashed their twentieth studio album, entitled Scorched via Nuclear Blast Records.
Today, the band announce they are heading on their "Scorching The Earth" U.S. Tour with labelmates Exhorder and Heathen. The 16-date trek will kick off on July 13th in San Francisco and make stops in Dallas, Ft. Lauderdale, and Silver Springs before ending in Huntington, NY on July 30th!
Tickets are on sale Friday 06/09 at 10 AM local time here.
[Adcode]Overkill's Bobby Blitz shared the following:
Hey "killers', the time has come to hit the road in the US of A! July the 13th starts the salvo in San Fran and we will be rolling down the west coast to L.A., across Rt10 east to Florida then up the east coast and back home. Been a long time kids! Keep your eyes open, and get Scorched! Cya on the R.O.A.D.!
Exhorder's Kyle Thomas commented:
Rolling with OVERKILL is always nothing short of a family affair, but add HEATHEN and us to the mix too and it's like a family vacation! We can't wait to tear up the States with our family!
Heathen added:
We are absolutely stoked to continue this killer tour package with our friends in OVERKILL and EXHORDER and look forward to bringing it to the United States! We'll see you in the pit!

There's no way they fill up even 1/3 of the grove. ^ accurate. way too big a venue for this package,
^ accurate. way too big a venue for this package, Some of these venues are enormous for a tour like this, holy crap.
Okay seriously now. This is sad these grandpas are still touring. There is no way they make money doing this now. Each night will be 60 fat old dudes tops for an audience.
Each one of these bands, separately, have played headlining shows at the same biker methlab club they're playing together. The fat thrash snake eats its own tail
The Scout Bar, traditionally, is a bad-taste affair.
The Vegas room is on the small side, they got that one right at least. Too bad beers are like $18 there. I'd be surprised if they pulled more than 200 there.
That the right size room, but the wrong room. They should be at the Dive Bar or something. I'd really like to know how the agent tricked all these venues. House of Blues?? You have to be joking.
This tour is getting a hefty sponsorship from Ben Gay and Metamucil so it'll be profitable even with an average of 175 people in the house.
Guys who unironically drink Pabst are stoked.
