Overkill - Infectious

Video Description:
The old school metal masters Overkill with Infectious, taken off of "Horrorscope". That album is a must for every metalhead!
Overkill is an American thrash metal band, formed in 1980 in New Jersey. The band has been active since 1984, releasing 14 studio albums, 2 EPs, 2 live albums and a "covers" album.
By late 1980, the band had recruited dual guitarists, and the setlist was made up of songs by bands such as Motörhead ("Overkill", half of the Ace Of Spades album), Judas Priest ('Tyrant' was their closer), and Riot. Along with the new influx of heavy metal covers, the band still played a smattering of punk covers, with extra distortion, intensity, and speed, marking Overkill as one of the first thrash bands.
The 'new' Overkill recorded their fifth album Horrorscope, again with Terry Date, in 1991. Featuring the furious riffs and trade off solos of new guitarists Cannavino and Gant, and the refined songwriting of Verni and Ellsworth, Horrorscope quickly silenced fan fears that the loss of a chief songwriter would ruin the band. Today, the album is widely regarded as one of the Overkill's defining moments, and is arguably their heaviest release. Focusing on a darker, heavier style, the album spawned the doomy single "Horrorscope", a departure from the bands earlier singles, which had traditionally been uptempo songs. The band continued to tour constantly, fully cementing their reputation as one of the premier live bands of the genre.
LYRICS:
I'm a wartime killer, I'm a man.
I'm a peacetime killer!
Doin' the best I can.
Bless yourself with a fiery hand,
Spit on the place you stand.
Don't make amends for what you'll do,
Or move on your demands.
Imagination running wild!
We're all an only child...
Product of our environment,
Cut blown and styled.
I'm a wartime killer.
I'm a man.
I'm a peacetime killer!
Doin' the best, the best I can.
I adapt to nothing, and nothing pleases me.
I'm a loaded pistol!
Just you wait and see.
Infliction, I am here.
Infection, where do we go from here?
Inception, made it clear,
As I move into the plan...
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
At birth I made a deal,
Called into the killing fields I go...
Hey! Hey! Hey!
I'm a wartime killer.
I'm a man.
I'm a peacetime killer!
Doin' the best, that I can.
I adapt to nothing, and nothing pleases me.
I'm a loaded pistol!
Just you wait and see.
Bless yourself with a fiery hand,
Spit on the place you stand.
Don't make amends for what you'll do,
Or move on your demands.
Imagination running wild!
We're all an only child...
Product of our environment,
Cut blown and sty-y-y-yled.
I'm a wartime killer.
Ya know what I am.
I'm a peacetime killer!
Doin' the best, best that I can.
Ya I'm a man.
Wartime killer.
Ya man...
