The video was directed by Kevin J. Custer (HATEBREED, TESTAMENT, SUFFOCATION), who previously worked with OVERKILL on the “Bring Me The Night” video.

“Damn, this one BITES hard! Kevin Custer did it again! So plug us in yeah, set us free, this is a thrashing vid the way it’s supposed to be! Here we go kids, ‘Electric Rattlesnake’!” says OVERKILL frontman Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth.

Besides the two brand new studio songs ´Electric Rattlesnake´ and ´Wish You Were Dead´ from OVERKILL´s upcoming album “The Electric Age”, which will hit stores march 30th, the CD contains four live songs, which have been recorded at last year’s ROCK HARD FESTIVAL. While ´Give A Little´ and ´Bring Me The Night´ are two well known highlights of every OVERKILL-show, ´Death Rider´ and ´The Beast Within´ are songs from the band´s early days, which have only been released on samplers as studio versions so far. By performing those very rare songs OVERKILL not only proved their qualities as a legendary live act, but also wrote a piece of Metal history.

The magazine can be ordered at versand@rockhard.de.

Song samples from the exclusive CD are available below:
