”Jumala nauraa, kun teet suunnitelmia”: Overkill-rumpalilta päivitystä bändin tulevaan albumiin

Yhdysvaltalainen thrash metal -veteraani Overkill aikoo käyttää koronaviruksesta koituvan keikkatauon seuraavan albuminsa kirjoittamisen viimeistelemiseen. Yhtyeen rumpali Jason Bittner on antanut hiljattain Metal Pilgrimille videohaastattelun, jossa hän on paljastanut bändillä olevan musiikillisesti yhdeksän kappaletta valmiina albumia varten.

Voit lukea tästä, mitä kerrottavaa Bittnerillä oli bändin tulevaisuuden suunnitelmista:

”Before this whole [coronavirus] thing started, I would have been in the midst of making two albums anyways. Which I’m still gonna be doing, but now it’s all this other online stuff that I’m taking part in with other people that’s kind of taken priority.

We were supposed to finish this [U.S.] tour, and literally we just got the first five-song demo from D.D. [Verni, Overkill bassist] for the next record. So our plan was to start working on new material, but considering the fact that we have to stay in our spaces right now, we’re just kind of doing things electronically and it’s just given D.D. some more time to write. Because we were kind of on a little bit of a timeline, ’cause we — well, all right, I’ll say we had a plan, but everybody had a plan before last month. It’s like they say, God laughs at you when you make a plan.

Our plan was to be on the road with a full European tour [in] March 2021 with a new album. We have no idea if that’s gonna even be a possibility right now, because timelines that we had for the record label and whatnot are no longer those anymore, because the record label is shut down and nobody is doing any business right this very second. So I don’t know, in the grand sheme, whether that’s gonna happen, but I do think that’s kind of good that this is happening right now, because I know we were starting with five or six songs, and I know [D.D. is] up to, like, nine right now. So it’s given us the freedom to be able to take some more time to write, which I think is important. So I think, in an odd sort of way, this is a good thing for us right now — being home and being forced to work in this environment.”
