The closest I can come to describing Overoth’s sound is a mix between old Malevolent Creation, Unleashed, and possibly a hint of Bolt Thrower in there somewhere. Although Overoth do not exactly break new ground musically, they more than make up for it in naked savagery. From the first few bars of ‘Suffering Detained’ to the closing fade-out of ‘Lord of Desolation’, it feels as though an invisible hand is grabbing my head and forcing it to bang like a maniac. This is Death Metal. Free of pompous over-technical riffs or jazz-influenced strange-time signature noodling, Overoth instead focus on fucking shit up with blastbeats and Thrashy beats aplenty, and even the odd breakdown for good measure.
