Sudden Death Overtime is the third studio album by the American hardcore band Slapshot. It was released on January 1, 1990, via Tang Records.[1] It was the only album to feature bass player Jamie Sciarappa and the last to feature guitarist Steve Risteen.
The album features a cover of the Jefferson Airplane song "White Rabbit". It also includes two live tracks of their songs "Chip on My Shoulder" and "Moment of Truth".
A limited Edition, Red Repress, was released in 2018.
The album was recorded in Fort Apache studio in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The album brought the band to a 5-piece with the addition of Jaimie Sciarappa on bass and Jordan Bass moving to guitar. Leading up to the release of the album Slapshot released a three track single titled Firewalker in 1989 including "Firewalker" and the live recordings of "Chip on My Shoulder" and "Moment of Truth"". The full album was released on January 1, 1990. The album features a mixture of fast, maniacal hardcore with angry street punk, commandeered by the lead singer Jack "Choke" Kelly.[5]
Stewart Mason reviewing for AllMusic stated "no metal moves by the guitarists, no plodding, weed-infused Black Sabbath-like dirge tempos from the rhythm section, no dorky growling from singer Choke Kelly, just straight-ahead straight-edge. The tempos are a hair slower, perhaps, but songs like 'Punk's Dead, You're Next' and the righteous 'War on Drugs' bristle with well-directed anger. At a time when hardcore itself, never mind straight-edge, was on the ropes, Sudden Death Overtime proved that some bands were still in the game."[2]
