The 1985 Listening Post - Overkill L.A. - Triumph of the Will

Overkill L.A. - Triumph of the Will


#505/1139
December 1985
Overkill L.A.
Triumph of the Will
Genre: Punk
3 out of 5


It’s muddy. It’s messy. It’s mid 80s punk. An island of a genre without a home. So it straddles Metal to better success than when most of Black Flag would try it. What’s weird is how good “American Dream” is, considering it’s a Ginn song. 
Most of this sounds like it was recorded to a 2 track at a rehearsal studio in the valley but a Motorhead cover band. 
Man, this thing is weird. It has no center. Spins off in a bunch of directions. But, it’s over.
