OVERDRIVE Completes Recording Drums For New Album

May 21, 2010

Classic Swedish heavy metal veterans OVERDRIVE have finished recording the drums for 19 new songs at Studio Sound Palace with Johan Blomström (BLINDED COLONY, SPICE & THE RJ BAND, KAPTAIN SUN),who also mixed the band's previous album, "Let The Metal Do The Talking" (Lion Music). About 12 of the tracks will end up on the new OVERDRIVE CD and some on the vinyl edition.

Songtitles set to appear on the album include:

* Cold Blood Chaser
* Call The Priest
* Wavebreaker
* Signs All Over
* Mother Earth
* Hold On
* Angelmaker
* Brand New Sinner
* It's Not As Easy As It Seems

OVERDRIVE's seventh LP will be mixed by Pelle Saether (STEEL ATTACK, AXENSTAR, GRAND DESIGN, INSANIA) in July.

Commented guitarist Janne Stark: "Musically this album is true to the '80s way of heavy metal, bringing in influences from the classic metal era of bands like ACCEPT and JUDAS PRIEST with no modern elements whatsoever. Not that we've ever been modern. I know all bands say it, but we do sincerely feel this will be our strongest album ever."

The lineup is still Per "PerilOz" Karlsson on vocals, Janne Stark and Kjell Jacobsson on guitars, Kenth Ericsson on bass and Kenta Svensson on drums.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2010, OVERDRIVE will appear at several festivals in Scandinavia, such as Muskelrock in Alvesta, Hasslöfestivalen in Karlskrona and Metal Warning in Helsinki.

OVERDRIVEs new album is due in late fall.
