From August 1991 to November 1998 we five had an obsession with music entitled OVERCAST. Motivated by having fun and playing songs that went against the grain, we stayed true to ourselves by writing music we wanted to play ... fashionable or not. Money was never an issue back then mainly because there wasn't any to be had. Sometimes we would play for gas money, most times for far far less. Only through sacrifice and perseverance did we make it work. First hand experience and trial and error provided our path. We had no one to rely on but ourselves. Years and years of weekend warrior tours took us places we normally would never have gone or seen. It was indeed a time we still reflect on and a time we will never forget.
7-7-08: Metal Blade Records signs OVERCAST! Reborn to Kill Again set to be released August 19th!
Metal Blade is proud to announce the addition of legendary Boston Mass metal act OVERCAST to its roster. On August 19th OVERCAST will release their Metal Blade debut Reborn to Kill Again, a collection of 11 re-recorded classic tracks and 2 unreleased tracks produced by Adam Dutkiewicz.
"We are greatly honored to be able to work with and put out such a legendary artist as Overcast" comments Brian Slagel of Metal Blade Records
Started in August 1991, OVERCAST disbanded in November 1998 after years of being turned down by labels, skimped out on by promoters, and a general sense of the band being too much of an albatross to continue. Heartbroken and emotionally taxed, each of the members went their separate ways. Brian joined Shadows Fall (a band who had opened for OVERCAST on many occasions), Mike D started working on a project called Killswitch Engage, Pete continued writing and ended up in a band called Seemless, Scott began playing bass in Transient, and Jay formed and played in many bands, finally settling down in the band Tunnel Drill.
Now 10 years have passed since OVERCAST was an active band. All of a sudden the stars have aligned, the planets have shifted, and old friends find themselves back home with substantial amounts of free time. OVERCAST is reborn.
OVERCAST's Reborn to Kill Again available everywhere Tuesday August 19th
