Page "Overkill (band)" Paragraph 26

Sid was replaced by M. O. D.

drummer Tim Mallare, with whom the 1993 album I Hear Black was recorded.

Produced by Alex Perialas ( who by now had worked with Anthrax and Testament ), I Hear Black was the first Overkill album released directly through Atlantic Records.

The album once again presented a change in style, from the heavy thrash of Horrorscope to a more stoner / blues rock-oriented style influenced by Black Sabbath.

The eclectic nature of the album is often attributed to the fact that many different song writers were involved.

Verni and Ellsworth would handle most of the song writing themselves on subsequent albums, with only minor contributions from the other members.

A music video was shot for " Spiritual Void " but failed to receive much airplay.

The European leg of the 1993 " World Of Hurt Tour " featured Savatage and Non-Fiction as support acts.
