Reviews for Overoth's Death Personified

Overoth - Death Personified - 89% 
Written by Aaron_McKeown on December 10th, 2007 

 
This is my first review ever for this excellent website.


I first heard Overoth on the 'Intoxicated IV' compilation of Irish metal, a 
track from their first demo 'Pathway To Demise'. The production on the 'Death 
Personified' has improved immensely, as has their overall playing and 
songwriting skill. 

Death Personified is a 6-track EP from yet another promising Death Metal act 
from Ireland (well, Northern Ireland). The EP opens with a short instrumental, 
which serves as an intro to the first proper track, 'Suffering The 
Detained'...and then the fun starts. 

The closest I can come to describing Overoth's sound is a mix between old 
Malevolent Creation, Unleashed, and possibly a hint of Bolt Thrower in there 
somewhere. Although Overoth do not exactly break new ground musically, they more 
than make up for it in naked savagery. From the first few bars of 'Suffering 
Detained' to the closing fade-out of 'Lord of Desolation', it feels as though an 
invisible hand is grabbing my head and forcing it to bang like a maniac. This is 
Death Metal. Free of pompous over-technical riffs or jazz-influenced 
strange-time signature noodling, Overoth instead focus on fucking shit up with 
blastbeats and Thrashy beats aplenty, and even the odd breakdown for good 
measure.

In conjunction with the pummelling music, Bassist/Vocalist Andy Ennis lays down 
his fairly standard yet deep and powerful DM growls, which work very well with 
the old-school DM assault, and for some strange reason remind me of those of 
Michael O Sullivan, vocalist for Irish DM stalwarts Carnún Rising (not in a bad 
way).

Unfussy and crushing, yet interesting due to its KILLER riffs and lack of 
overly-long tracks, Death Personified is definitely worth acquiring if you are a 
Death Metal fan or simply want to hear the quality that the Irish Metal has to 
offer. Best €6 Ive spent in a long time.
