EP
6 Songs
Overkill's 6 Songs is an EP released on 28 March 2012 through Rock Hard. It is a short release, as the title makes plain, and it arrived in the same year as the band's studio album The Electric Age.
It sits in the middle of a long run of records for the thrash band, coming after Ironbound in 2010 and ahead of White Devil Armory in 2014. For anyone following Overkill album by album, it is a small extra stop between those larger releases.
