The “Overshade” project is born in February “2005 when drummer Paolo Pedana gathers the rest of the prog-power group members around himself, i.e. the “Etherlord”, composed of Tommaso Maria Guerri on bass guitar, Michele Palafreni on keyboards and piano, Alessandro Bravi on the guitar. Within a short time, while searchng for a singer, Paolo and Tommaso meet Cesare Capaccioni who initially only accepts to be a “studio-singer” and subsequently, struck by seiousness and the beauty of the project, decides to become a real part of the group. The idea was to unite different musical genres, the to link various styles and shades the each component could express. So within a short period the songs were ready, all all of them having come out Paolo’s mind and rearranged singularly by each musicians. The research of encircling atmospheres, the aim of conveying changing sensations, the choice of a slightly less extreme sound -all this without repudiating the progressive origins, is the basis with wich “Seven Visions of a Broken Life”- the band’s first demo was achieved. Self produced, SVOBL was born to be a liaison between purists of metal music and lovers of commercial genres, a means of transport to draw the ones closer to the others…
Seven Visions of a Broken Life is the effect of suffering, the Synthesis of the most common well-disposed and malevolent emotions perceptible by human being. In their future creations the Overshade will tend to analyze suffering and the pain that generates it, stopping on the origins of the latter – the evil. However, the reason of this new context must not be misunderstood: it isn’t a matter of destructive research and expression, but an expression of the evil, innate in every human being, ignored (by the majority) for bilions of years and manifested, to great surprise of whoever assists to it, only in “moments of madness”. An expression aimed at exorcism the rotten part of man, in search of something pure to start a new form. Talking about this, other thoughts can be introduced into the context, such as: the aversion to rules imposed by nature and by the gross instincts that govern it. However, the Overshade will not only concentrate on expressing what there is of apparently aberrant and perserve in human beings. They will also concentrate on all the others faces of pain.Everything is born from pain, from”distructive” emotions, every stimulus of a nartist and of the human being. Life itself derives from feelings of deprivation and desire. The procreation triggeres by a feeling of loneliness/ambition that express a wish to fulfil, therefore a deprivation. The constitution of a family itself is the effect of the fulfilment of loneliness. Therefore family, that is the womb of live, is born from pain. Life itself, then, is born from pain. It must not be seen as a negative condition of the human heart. On the contrary it is the sweetest and most intense condition that man can ever feel; the only one that includes all the strongest, deepest and most significant emotions at the disposal of man’s nature. It is impossible to free one’s energies if one has not known pain before. Pain sublimates the soul, the sensivity and makes man well-disposed towards introspection. It therefore contributes to the cognitive development of a person and, alongside, enhances the “deployment” of sensivity. The Overshade will be working on the evil because it’s the force that throws out the positive side of man from the darkness
