Just an up-date from the OVERDRIVE recording camp. We have now started mixing the new album and we are proud to say this will be one helluva return album!! Here's the track list: Let The Metal Do The Talking, Fight To The Finish, Lodestar, Deceived, Trapped Under Ice, Gravy Train, Reincarnation, Den Of Iniquity (Instrumental), Army Of darkness, Bring Me To Submission and Sinister Warfare. The album is being mixed by Johan Blomström at Sound Palace Studio. The cover is also ready, made by C.A. "Monowasp" Beckston, and it's killer!!

On May 3rd OVERDRIVE will support DIANNO at Stoltz (formerly Kino) in Karlskrona, Sweden. We will then, for the first time, present some stuff from the forthcoming album!

2007-04-03
Here's some updates on the new album. We were in the studio last weekend and nailed the basic tracks for another four songs! This time it was - "Fight To The Finish" (up-tempo straight ahead metal, originally penned by Janne in 1985), "Reincarnation Part 1-4" (Long HEAVY epical number), "Chasing Highways" (New up-tempo metal rocker) and a new, as yet unnamed ultra heavy song written by Kenth. Johan Blomström is doing an awesome job, and this will be a STRONG return for OVERDRIVE - mark our words!

The band is currently working on the new album "Let The Metal Do The Talking", planned to be released before the summer of 2007. Prepare yourselves for a new metal attack!!! The video for "Back On The Hunt" has now been broadcast on MTV Overdrive.

2006-10-20
FINALLY!!! The video for the re-recorded "Back On The Hunt" is finished. Thomas Tjäder and Ari Hannila have made an astounding effort! This is the first OVERDRIVE video since, yes, 1984!! We hope to have it up soon! We're working hard on the material for the forthcoming album.

2006-08-28
It's now official! OVERDRIVE has set a deal with Lion Music for a new album and a DVD to be released mid 2007. The album has the working title "Let The Metal Do The Talking" and will follow in the good old OVERDRIVE classic metal vein. It will contain all new material, and songs already finished are "Midnight Cruiser", "Let The Metal Do The Talking", "Resurrection" and "Sinister Warfare". In related news the video for "Back On The Hunt" from the new "Resurrected" MCD is in its editing stage. It's directed and produced by Thomas Tjäder (In Flames, Blinded Colony etc).

Check out the sound-samples from the new MCD! If you like it, you can order it directly from us! Next week we will also get hot new t-shirts! Check "Contact" for ordering details!

TODAY the new MCD was delivered. The official releas-date is June 10, the day we play at Sweden Rock Festival!

2006-05-10
Yesterday we finished mixing the MCD! It sounds heavy, fresh, fun and better than expected. Johan Blomström is a knob wizzard! Some change since last time. Stefan Harrysson at www.movingstonecat.com made a great cover. Along the way we decided to change the title, so what could be more fitting than - "RESURRECTED"!! Release date: June 10 at Sweden Rock Festival. Saturday at 13.20 WE ROCK!

The show at KB was recorded with 3 cameras and the sound taken from the sound board. What does this mean? Yepp, we're working on a DVD!

2005-07-05
OVERDRIVE is still alive and well. Last year we did a bunch of successful gigs and on May 29 this year we headlined the warm up show for Sweden Rock festival at KB in Malmö.
A new album is in the planning and later this year we'll start recording!

As Pelle Thuresson has now sadly decided to leave the band permanently we have found an outstanding replacement in Per Karlsson. Per is also fronting metal band Unchained. Per made his debut at Headbanger's Open Air in Itzehoe.
