The Third Thunder
Almost five years have passed since the release of Overtoun‘s second longplayer This Darkness Feels Alive. In the meantime, the band has been awarded Best Metal Act, has toured Latin America and has played two shows in Japan. With the release of their third album Death Drive Anthropology, Overtoun are skyrocketing into their next level. New label deal, new bass player, new sound, new chapter. With an album title that refers to Sigmund Freud‘s psychoanalysis and the concept of the death drive (or thanatos), the four musicians deal with humankind and their traits and rituals. Madness meets arts, fury encounters sanity.
Taming The Lightning
This alloy of chaos and order, nature and culture, has a deep impact on the music on Death Drive Anthropology. The album feels like a massive chain lightning or a volcano’s eruption. But depite all of the chaotic force that comes with such phenomena, Overtoun manage to direct and bundle these powers. The result is a precisely focused and nevertheless brachial force. Death and thrash metal roar like thunder while influence from Latin American folk adds its vibrant energy, and on top, technical genius stings like a thousand needles.
Waves And Storms
Death Drive Anthropology is a musical hurricane that shall be heard all over the world of metal and beyond. Together with famous guest musicians, Overtoun shake the Earth and create gigantic tidal waves. Fans of thrash and death metal should not miss this gem from South America. From fiery folk rhythms over confidently performed old school sounds right up eloquent tec death, this longplayer turns into an unstoppable hurricane.
