OVERKILL recruits Ex-FEAR FACTORY bassist CHRISTIAN OLDE WOLBERS for March/April 2026 'Thrash Of The Titans' tour
20-01-2026
Ex-FEAR FACTORY bassist Christian Olde Wolbers will once again fill in for OVERKILL bassist D.D. Verni on the New Jersey thrash metal veterans’ upcoming U.S. tour as the support act for TESTAMENT. Additional support on the “Thrash Of The Titans” trek, which will launch in March, will come from German thrashers DESTRUCTION.
Olde Wolbers shared an admat for the “Thrash Of The Titans” tour and he included the following message: “See you guys and gals out there on the ‘Thrash Of The Titans’ Tour!”
Olde Wolbers previously filled in for Verni — who is dealing with an ongoing “shoulder issue” — in the fall of 2024 when OVERKILL supported KING DIAMOND on a North American tour.
For some of its European shows in September 2024, OVERKILL recruited ex-KREATOR bassist Christian “Speesy” Giesler as a temporary replacement for Verni.
OVERKILL recently entered the studio to begin recording the follow-up to 2023’s “Scorched” album for a tentative late 20226 release.
In August 2024, OVERKILL confirmed former VENOM INC drummer Jeramie Kling as the group’s new drummer. Kling joined the veteran New Jersey thrash metal outfit as the replacement for Jason Bittner, who announced his exit from OVERKILL earlier that month.
Bittner joined OVERKILL in 2017 and played drums on the band’s last two studio albums, “The Wings Of War” and “Scorched”.
OVERKILL played its first concert with Kling on August 30, 2024 at the Posada Rock festival in Câmpulung Muscel, Romania.
