On September 15, the young death metal band OVERTOUN gave a show that was packed with energy, strength, and attitude. While on the road supporting their award-winning album, THIS DARKNESS FEELS ALIVE, they ruthlessly demolished their most violent songs in the city of Rancagua, Chile.

The band formed by Yoav Ruiz-Feingold (ATHEIST, TILL THE DIRT, GRAVITON), Matias Bahamondes, Agustin Lobo and Matias Salas, recorded a live performance of the song MADE MANIFEST, which was selected by cameraman/photographer Cristian Belano and their sound engineer Ignacio Portales for a very high-quality video recording because of its powerful lyrical and musical content. This cinematic footage captures the band’s excitement as they play every note of their repertoire live, moving around the stage and interacting with each other at every chance. Matias Bahamondes at The Dog Studios later restored, mixed, and mastered the audio.

OVERTOUN is currently writing their third album and programming their 2024 tour schedule, which will include their postponed 2020 tour over Brazil. Their latest tour took them to Argentina for the second time, opening for the legendary band SINISTER.

THIS DARKNESS FEELS ALIVE was originally produced by Pancho Arenas, mastered by Flemming Rasmussen (METALLICA) with artwork by Paolo Girardi (REVOCATION, POWER TRIP). It was re-released by WORMHOLEDEATH RECORDS in 2022.

OVERTOUN is a Metal band from Santiago-Boston Bringing back the brutal force and sounds of Old School Metal and Latin American roots, the revolutionary young band from Santiago/Boston has been spreading their talent, passion, and energy all over the world, characterized by their outstanding musical quality and powerful social commentaries.

Skull Servant are a 3-piece psychedelic doom metal project centered in Chapel Hill,
North Carolina. The band formed in 2022, and have since solidified into a trio of devoted
musicians who work exceptionally well together. Bassist Noah Terrell and guitarist Calvin Bauer
have collaborated on musical projects off-and-on since 2015. Each contributes a distinctive vocal style, yet they masterfully weave them together into a singularly compelling and effective sound. The exceptional drumwork of Ryland Dreibelbis, with whom Calvin has performed since 2021, completes the package. And what a package it is!

Skull Servant’s material reliably delivers an occult impression of a spell being cast upon
their audience. The inception of this image can best be seen in their hit EP Astral Apothecary,
which topped the Doom Metal Charts upon its release in March, 2023. It was in the wake of EP
Astral Apothecary’s success that the project doubled down, beginning to refine their brand in
earnest. This new, definitive image shines through as it coalesces in their subsequent work, most notably in single Pray for Blood and their latest EP Traditional Black Magicks II, released in May and October of 2023 respectively.

With a smorgasbord of influences ranging from Electric Wizard, Sleep, and Sodom to
Gandalf and The Sword, Skull Servant’s brand displays a faithful commitment to the genre
staples of Doom. Skull Servant’s quintessential stoner metal sludginess is deftly enhanced by the daring juxtaposition of haunting vocal melodies, their heaviness made unique by undeniably
groovy psychedelic undercurrents.

“I give Traditional Black Magicks II a very high recommendation, and it’s an album that
should be streamed continuously for a while to let the awesomeness absorb into your psyche. I
can’t get enough of it.”

– Scott Spiers, Clean And Sober Stoner
