Overkill – Motörhead (Vinyl 12" LP)

Released in March 1979, Overkill is the second studio album by Motörhead and a defining moment in the evolution of heavy metal. Marking the arrival of drummer Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor’s iconic double bass pedal technique, the album elevated Motörhead from cult status to major force within the UK rock scene. Produced by Jimmy Miller (of Rolling Stones fame), Overkill fused speed, aggression, and bluesy grit, laying the foundation for thrash, speed metal, and punk-influenced rock for decades to come.

Key Highlights

- Explosive opening title track “Overkill” introduced double kick drumming into mainstream metal
- Includes fan favourites like “Stay Clean”, “No Class”, and “Capricorn”
- Blends punk intensity with rock ’n’ roll swagger and early metal heaviness
- Original artwork by Joe Petagno established the band’s iconic war-pig mascot in full form
- Frequently reissued on heavyweight vinyl, deluxe remasters, and anniversary editions

Fun Fact

The album was recorded and mixed in just a few weeks, yet its title track became a benchmark in drumming innovation—Phil Taylor’s use of double kick pedals predated similar techniques in thrash and death metal by several years.

Why You Should Buy This Vinyl

- Analogue punch: Vinyl format delivers the raw grit and live feel of Motörhead’s classic trio
- Visual appeal: Iconic cover art makes it a standout in any metal collection

Overkill is Motörhead at their sharpest, loudest, and most revolutionary—an essential vinyl for anyone serious about the roots and rebellion of heavy metal.
