When Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth showed up at Guitar World HQ for  interview, it was already past 5 p.m. on a press-packed day.

In spite of that, he showed up good spirits, and with the same youthful energy that has made him one of the most electric performers in thrash metal for over three decades now.

The occasion for Bobby's visit is, of course, the release of Overkill's sixteenth studio album, The Electric Age, which hit stores earlier this week on eOne.

The new record is everything you've come to expect from the boys in Overkill over the years: ten tracks of upbeat thrash, of a slightly punkier variety that that of their Bay-area counterparts.

Tracks like "Electric Rattlesnake" and "Wish You Were Dead" fit comfortably alongside anything from Under the Influence, and over 30 years into their career, Overkill are showing no sign of slowing down.

This is your third straight Overkill record with the same lineup... http://www.guitarworld.com/interview-overkills-bobby-blitz-ellsworth-talks-electric-age
