Overthrow are a band from the United Kingdom that plays a blackened mixture of death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2023 ep "Ascension From The Entombed" which will be released in October by Redefining Darkness Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the ep along with a brief use of spoken word samples before going into a heavier death metal direction. Vocals are a mixture of growls and black metal screams while the riffs also add in a small amount of melody at times and the solos and leads also b ring in more of a 90's style.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Elements of thrash metal can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing and the tracks also capture a very modern day brutality.
Overthrow plays a musical style that takes black, death and thrash metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover war, death, chaos, evil and Mayan Mythology themes.
In my opinion overthrow are a very great sounding blackened mixture of death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lords of Xibalba" and "Caustic Vengeance (Bloody Driven)". 8 out of 10.
