Overcast - Bleed Into One
Review by Vicente Tanasi
The album Bleed Into One by Overcast is a powerful and intense offering that showcases the band's unique blend of metal and hardcore. With its driving rhythms, aggressive vocals, and blistering guitar work, this album is a must-listen for fans of heavy music.
From the opening track "Forecast," which sets the tone with its thunderous drums and crushing riffs, to the closing song "Two Degrees Below," which builds to a frenzied climax, Bleed Into One is an unrelenting assault on the senses. Each song packs a punch, with standout tracks including "As a Whole," "Grifter," and "Dousing This Flame."
One of the album's strengths is its production, which gives each instrument room to breathe while still maintaining a raw, gritty sound. The vocals, in particular, are a highlight, with frontman Brian Fair delivering his lyrics with passion and conviction.

Summary by Vicente Tanasi
Comments
Mike D'Antonio: "The funny thing is, we didn’t have a musical direction at all when we were writing songs [for Overcast]. We were putting things together almost at random, so it took quite a few years to figure out where we wanted the band to go. We took on that evil Integrity attitude about hating the world and being down on your luck. Then bands started popping, like Starkweather in Philadelphia. They were huge for us. We looked up to the way they jumped from one type of a genre to another in an instant and gave the listener a bit of whiplash. Also, [Brooklyn’s] Candiria was a force to be reckoned with. They were throwing as many different styles of music into their songs as possible, and that’s something that Overcast got a little too caught up in—the breakneck swerves and turns that we tried to purposely put into our music so that the listener didn’t know what was coming next."
