***Killbox 13*** is the twelfth studio album by [thrash metal](/source/Thrash_metal) band [Overkill](/source/Overkill_(band)), released in 2003. It is the first album with rhythm guitarist Derek Tailer. The name stems from the fact that the band considers this to be their thirteenth release because they include the *[Overkill EP](/source/Overkill_(EP))* as their first, or that they had released the covers album *[Coverkill](/source/Coverkill)*, which would have been their eleventh studio album. "Well, it is the thirteenth, but it's only really the thirteenth for people who followed the band. There was an EP called *[Overkill](/source/Overkill_(EP))* back in '84...", said Bobby Ellsworth.[citation needed]

*Killbox 13* received much critical acclaim because some of the songs marked a return to the raw unpolished thrash style exhibited on the first album *Feel The Fire*, which Overkill had gradually moved away from afterwards.
