"Feel the Fire" is the debut studio album by thrash metal band Overkill, released on October 15, 1985 through Megaforce Records. The classic original band line-up of Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth on vocals, Bobby Gustafson on guitars, Rat Skates on drums and bassist D.D. Verni sounds surprisingly accomplished on this major-label debut, giving tight performances and ultimately helping define a generation of spastic, but impressive second wave of aggressive thrash metal. Overkill spent most of 1985 and 1986 on tour for "Feel the Fire", supporting such bands as Carnivore, S.O.D., Blessed Death, Nuclear Assault, Liege Lord, Black Flag, Venom, Anthrax and D.R.I. In 1986, Overkill was part of two major tours; they supported Anthrax and Agent Steel on the "Spreading the Disease" tour in Europe, and opened for Slayer on the "Reign in Blood" tour in the United States.
