Overkill's second opus, Taking Over and yours truly are connected into eternity, as the album was released the same dubious month the world was blessed with my own arrival. What will also likely persevere eternally is the argument of what "might have been" had Overkill released their 1985 debut earlier (as I'm sure they would have liked), instead relegated to pestering Jon Zazula and not taking "no" for an answer while the thrash movement took off without enough people even knowing Overkill existed. The New Jersey thrash output has been going on so strong for so long, rarely sacrificing their distinct sound and quality of their songs even during their weaker groove-laden times. Admittedly, it took a while for me to warm up to their fairly similar follow-up album, 1986's "Taking Over".

Aptly titled Taking Over, it was pretty imminent that Overkill meant business. They were out to take over the scene by flushing out wannabes and poseurs. The production is very heavy and I’m yet to hear a thrash metal album with such a crushing feel. Maverick vocal man Blitz sounds a lot like he would on the debut, but he pulls off some deafening shrieks on almost all the songs. It’s amazing how he does that so effortlessly. The rhythm section sounds highly beefed up, although the bass somewhat gets stepped over by the heavy guitar and drums

This New York band got a lot of attention with this album, although looking back at it, the vocals of Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth are somewhat dreadful compared to how they sound now. Track Listing.
