Horrorscope (1991) I Hear Black (1993) W.F.O. (1994)

I Hear Black is the sixth studio album by thrash metal band Overkill in 1993 on Atlantic Records. It was the band's sixth full-length album, and first to feature drummer Tim Mallare.

Overview

Produced by Alex Perialas (Anthrax, Testament), I Hear Black was the first Overkill album released directly through Atlantic Records. The album once again presented a change in style for the band, from the up-tempo thrash of Horrorscope to a more groove oriented style. A music video was shot for "Spiritual Void" but failed to receive substantial airplay. The European leg of the 1993 "World Of Hurt Tour" featured Savatage as a support act.

This album and W.F.O. were re-released on Wounded Bird Records in 2005.
