Overkill Bassist Delivers ‘Punk-ish’ Album
“So psyched to finally do a Punk-ish record,” enthused D.D. Verni, a founding member of Thrash Metal’s Overkill. “Dreadful Company,” his second solo album under the ‘Verni’ banner, has arrived. “The best thing about these solo ventures is to be able to try out different stuff.” The single were “Lunkhead” and “Cemetery Safari.”
Verni wrote all the album’s songs in addition to singing, playing guitar and bass.
“The mantra for the record was write it like a Punk band and play it like a Metal band,” added D.D. “So, when I was writing there was no palm mutes or metal twinged anything, all wide-open Ramones chords and big melodies, then I came back later and started to add in the Metal flavor.”
