Back after an absence stretching almost
24 years Swedish traditional metallers Overdrive
simply “Let The Metal Do The
Taking” with an album of
no-nonsense metal which evokes the best
of their 80’s pedigree with a production
and delivery which will find a welcome home
with metal fans of today. New vocalist Per
“PerilOz” Karlsson
joined the four original members of guitar
duo Janne Stark (Locomotive
Breath, Mountain Of Power) and Kiell
Jacobsson, bassist Kenth
Eriksson and drummer Kenta
Svensson with a guest vocal on
the final track from Chris Catena.
On
the new material Janne Stark comments, “As
this is the first album since 1984 we felt
quite a great pressure on our shoulders
as we don’t want to deviate from our
old beaten path, at the same time as we
didn’t want the album to sound dated.
Half the songs were actually written back
in 1985. I think the combination of the
band and young producer/engineer Johan Blomström
has enabled bridge the gap between 1980-2008….”
And on new vocalist Per Karlsson, “He
has definitely brought bring out the best
of the band, plus he has done a tremendous
job on the vocals arrangements and remedied
the vocal shortcomings of our 80’s
output”.
