KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Bassist Talks About OVERCAST Reunion
April 28, 2006KILLSWITCH ENGAGE bassist Mike D'Antonio spoke to MTV.com about the reunion of OVERCAST — his influential, erstwhile Massachusetts metal band that counted among its members SHADOWS FALL frontman Brian Fair. The band originally split up a week or so after the band's first U.S. tour (with DISEMBODIED and SHAI HULUD) had concluded, and the guys in the band returned from a six-week road trip with about $500 to their names.
"We were all just kind of beaten to death," D'Antonio recalled. "We had worked so incredibly hard to get the band to where it was, with little or nothing to show for it besides just fans coming out and seeing us and being really into the band. We just needed to cut our losses and go home, and unfortunately, that was the way most of the people felt in the band. We had gotten done with a practice, and everyone told me how they were feeling. [That band] was my baby — something I cared about more than almost anything else in the world at that point. So when people were telling me they didn't want to do it, I didn't want to face reality. It really bothered me."
