Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Overkill by Motorhead

Today's Metal Track is brought to you by Motorhead. This is the title track off of their 1979 album Overkill. Motorhead are one of the most influential bands of all time and this song and album are great examples.

One of my favorite bands, Overkill, took their name from this album and covered this song as the opening track on their 1999 album Coverkill. In 1995, during the recording of their album Load, Metallica covered this song and three others by Motorhead as a birthday gift to Lemmy. The songs were later released as B-sides but gained the most exposure when they were included on their 1998 Garage Inc. album.
