Band Line Up 2015
Overoth hail from the Belfast area of Northern Ireland and formed in late 2005 by four friends with a raw passion for Extreme Metal. The band have been wreaking havoc across the Irish, UK and mainland Europe scenes since the release of their first demo 'Pathway To Demise' and as the focal point of the band's existence, Overoth’s tight, energetic and exciting live performances have gained them the quick respect of the many bands they have shared the stage with including Bolt Thrower, Unleashed, Morbid Angel, Rotting Christ, Watain, Massacre, Napalm Death, Obituary, Hail Of Bullets, Cattle Decapitation, Sodom and many more.
“There is an air of confidence and prowess to Overoth that many bands fail to achieve even after lengthy careers. They are focused, tight and almost militaristic in their execution.” - Metal Ireland
With good feedback and confidence from their demo release the band entered the studio again to record new material. Over the late spring of 2007 Overoth recorded 'Death Personified' at Komodo Studios. 'Death Personified' was released on 16th November 2007 instantly followed by a short tour of Ireland and the UK.
"Despite this being a debut, one could swear that they were seasoned veterans of the genre by the way they present the EP." - Metal Observer
2010 saw the opening of a new chapter for Overoth, on 15th February the debut album 'Kingdom of Shadows' was released followed by multiple tours which took the band across UK/Eire & mainland Europe.
"It is clear that the boys of Overoth aren’t messing about. Their brand of no frills, in-your-face death metal is full of twists and turns, technical innovation, and bone- crunching riffage." - Metal Rules
After touring ‘Kingdom Of Shadows’ Overoth decided to go underground to hone their craft, and there they would remain for nearly three years, only resurfacing on occasion for sporadic live appearances. In 2015 the band emerged from the darkness announcing the completion of a new album and their most daring work by far. It’s the dawn of a new beginning for Overoth.
.. darkness is coming.
The sun shall not rise over Bloodstock Festival 2015! Having come through Metal To The Masses and emerging victorious, OVEROTH, the bastard sons of grandeur and terror will take a great honour casting our shadow across Catton Hall, and the New Blood Stage. We look forward to seeing our friends but also having the opportunity to perform to a new audience. So Bloodstock! If you like extreme metal and that with a meaning... we welcome you. Come and have a look into our world, come into the darkness and revel in our chaos...
This is Overoth - An uncompromising aural assault of raw aggression. This is death personified.
