This fight was fairly uneventful in the beginning stages, until Greenspan decided to follow OverKill towards the red square. Due to being seeded, OverKill was allowed to skip the preliminary rounds straight to the Round of 32, against Greenspan. Even privately, Avenged or Overkill will not tell – I know both of them will not tell me what the settlement was. For Season 4.0, OverKill received very minor cosmetic changes yet again, receiving new sponsor logos. “The terms to this day cannot be revealed and have not been disclosed. Overkill were paid out on that because they had a copyright on that bat and they were paid out on it by Avenged Sevenfold. “And all of a sudden, when Avenged Sevenfold comes out, they had a similar bat intentional or not, they did. For years, Overkill had a sort of mascot on their records that they called Chaly, which is a bat. “Overkill got some sort of settlement from Avenged Sevenfold over the use of their bat logo. Last month, Eddie Trunk claimed that OVERKILL was “paid off” by AVENGED SEVENFOLD for the use of the logo: “So I really don’t have any problems with any of that stuff.”
“And the fact that those guys sell a lot of records, the fact that we’ve been mentioned in the same sentence many times now for over a decade, it gives us, let’s say a light that we wouldn’t normally get, gives us the attention we wouldn’t normally have. “That’s obviously a form of flattery, to some degree. In a recent interview with Jhofffilms, OVERKILL singer Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth talked about whether he has a problem with “Christian metalcore bands” – the term the host used to clearly refer to AVENGED SEVENFOLD – “stealing” the band’s skull-bat logo.
