Overdrive - Angelmaker - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

After 2008's self explanatory InchLet The Metal Do The TalkingInch, Swedish traditional metal exponents OVERDRIVE deliver the most pulsating album of their career with the pedal to the metal bombast of InchAngelmakerInch. This new album sees Overdrive pummel the listener with their heaviest yet. Home to 12 tracks all of which will make any self respecting metal fan throw the InchhornsInch in appreciation. With a history dating back over 20 years the line up has been consistent since their initial formation in 1980, with the exception of vocalist Per InchPerilOzInch Karlsson who came onboard for the bands reformation in 2003. This lengthy combined experience between the band members makes Overdrive run like a well oiled machine, locked in, loaded and ready to unleash it's metallic grit to all generations of metal fans. Lyrically the album deals with a variety of topics, from catholic priests, vampires and Indians to psychopaths and warnings of our world going down the drain. While the title track tells the gruesome story of the Swedish angelmakers. A group of women who Inchtook careInch of illegitimate children through drowning, suffocation or starvation, being paid for their services. The last angelmaker was convicted in the 1920's, yet still the story is one that shocks. The work on InchAngelmakerInch started in late 2008. Janne Stark (Locomotive Breath / Constancia) started writing a couple of tracks, InchThrillerInch andInch AngelmakerInch, which set the style and approach. Then Kjelle Jacobsson, Janne, Per Karlsson and Kenth Ericsson started writing, each on their own. Demos were made and finally the band sat down together in February 2010 to select from the 25+ songs that had been written. 18 songs were selected. Rehearsals began and in May recordings started. With no hurry and the aim of simply making this the best Overdrive album ever. The drums were recorded
