The Wings of War is the 19th studio album from the US thrash metal band Overkill.

New frontiers aren’t often conquered in the modern world of heavy metal, yet overkill remains unfazed by the growing presence of social media, modern internet, demand for streaming services, and a general sense of competition between the sea of other metal bands trying to make a name for themselves, today.

With over 30 years under their leather belts, these New Jersey natives unveil their 19th offering: The Wings Of War«. With 10 tracks and fifty-one minutes long, their 19th full-length album is the ultimate combination of sickening brutality and addictive melody. It was yet another incredible album cover design by Travis Smith that sparked the idea of what to name this next album. With 5 of the iconic Overkill winged skulls brooding powerfully around the table seemingly prepared for battle, »The Wings Of War« simply rolled off the tongue.

With the fresh addition of seasoned drummer Jason Bittner (ex-Shadows Fall, Flotsam And Jetsam, Stigmata), OVERKILL is experiencing new chemistry this time around, truly giving the record a unique feel. The writing was funnelled through its familiar foundation, but now had a fresh influence and energy that inspired the entire band.
