Blackened, death AND thrash all rolled into one? Yes, please! UK extreme metal force Overthrow are barreling towards the release of their next EP and stepping up the aggression considerably from the past. Today, they have shared the title track from the EP, Ascension of the Entombed, so get your stank faces ready.

“’Ascension Of The Entombed’ is the first song we wrote for this project and we instantly knew it was going to be the title track,” shares the band. “It’s got everything we love about Metal in a 5 minute aural assault and it sets the tone for not only the rest of the EP, but for the direction that this band is subsequently headed in.”

They added, “The lyrics create a world in which the dead are rising from the grave and reclaiming all existence, fulled by REVENGE. It’s also a metaphorical representation of how we view ourselves as a band; we’ve gone to the Beyond and back with this EP and are ready to show the world that OVERTHROW have returned to take no prisoners.”

Formed in the UK in 2011 by vocalist/guitarist Jay White, the band has evolved over the past decade plus to incorporate darker, more sinister tones into their thrashy base. Produced and engineered by Scott Bacon, Ascension of the Entombed is due out Friday, October 13th via Redefining Darkness. Pre-order your copy HERE.
