Reception

Ironbound was given highly positive reviews with vocalist, Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth, being a main point of critical acclaim. Chad Bowar of About.com states, "What makes Overkill stand out is vocalist Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth, whose high pitched singing is unique and instantly recognizable. He's able to dial it down and sing in a lower range, but can wail when it's required."^[7] A review from Blabbermouth.net says, ""Ironbound" is one of, if not the most ripping collection of tunes this legendary act has laid to tape."^[8]
