Overt Enemy's new album Possession is available now worldwide on all digital platforms and at www.overtenemy.com

What the press are saying:

“Visceral howls lock horns with sinister grooves as this Texan four-piece blaze through five tracks ripped from thrash's nether regions.”
Metal Hammer Magazine

“Overt Enemy started out as a Slayer cover band, but have very quickly evolved into one of the dominant thrash acts in South Texas.”
Metal Injection

“Thrash Metal at it's best.”
KOBZR Magazine

“Do yourself a favor after reading these lines, run after supporting and following these guys, I smell big stuff coming in a few years.”
Metal Na Lata

“The tight songwriting is only a further testament to the modus operandi of the band. It makes for addictive and in your face listening.”
Two Guys Metal Reviews

“Possession” is the opener of this EP and it is violent, aggressive and it features heavy riffage. The video of the track is already available at band’s YouTube page, so go and check it out. “Pray for Death” and “Blood God” are heavy and include massive riffing again in a seemingly calmer atmosphere. However there are deep waters under, and a beast is watching. “In The End We Died” should be mentioned with its energy. To finishes the EP the band has chosen to perform a cover of the almighty SLAYER – “At Dawn They Sleep.”

“Overt Enemy have a lot of talent and know how to craft variation across this album. Possession should be treasured by explorers of thrash's nether realms.”
Allyson Kingsley - Boston Rock Radio

“Slayer worship through and through (there’s even a ripping cover of ‘At Dawn They Sleep’ and the bassists name even has a decidedly “Slayer” slant to it) of that there’s no doubt but Overt Enemy execute the style so damn well that odds are they’ll take the vacated throne without a qualm and little complaint. My only issue with this is that’s it’s too damn short, I want more!! I guess I’ll be forced to spin this again, again and again (or even ‘piece by piece’). This is the type of thrash which I can subscribe to, it’s vicious, fluid, fast but most of all wicked Fn’ great! I’m eager for a full length!”
Cult Metal Flix

“Gnarly, confrontational, and relentless - Overt Enemy know how to deliver their thrash with Texan charm.”
Front View Magazine

“Overt Enemy has breathed life into an older style. It's never about being the fasted or the heaviest. Skwisgaar Skwigelf wouldn't find a home here. It's not about being the heaviest and most brutal, Nathan Explosion also would be on the outs, but it's about writing a killer song and crushing your enemies and wearing their entrails as a necklace.”
Nik Cameron - Glacially Musical

"Well executed thrash metal in a recognizable style with a clear nod to the chief gods themselves."
Lords of Metal
