Mayhem ROC to celebrate 40 years of Overkill’s debut album, Feel The
Fire.

recording sessions, and the DIY hustle that helped launch East Coast thrash.
Hear behind-the-scenes stories about working with Johnny Z of Megaforce
Records, the album’s iconic cover shoot, and early tours with Anthrax and
Slayer — plus what’s next for both Overkill and The Rods.
