Ironbound (album)

Ironbound is the 15th full-length studio album by American thrash metal band Overkill, which was released on January 29, 2010 in Europe on Nuclear Blast[1] and in the U.S. on February 9, 2010 on eOne Music.

Ironbound was given highly positive reviews with vocalist, Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth, being a main point of critical acclaim.

Chad Bowar of About.com states, "What makes Overkill stand out is vocalist Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth, whose high pitched singing is unique and instantly recognizable.

"[5] Exodus and former Slayer lead guitarist Gary Holt called Ironbound "one of their best records ever; it's so good".

[10] Ironbound has been referred to as a "comeback" for Overkill after years of lackluster album sales, as well as an experimentation with groove metal and a decline in popularity in the U.S., which the band had had since the mid-1990s.
