NHR Records is proud to announce the re-release of classic material from the Canadian thrash/death
masters OVERTHROW. This release will contain the long-out-of-print 1990 debut CD "Within
Suffering" (recorded by Tom Morris [MORBID ANGEL] and Scott Burns [SEPULTURA, OBITUARY,
DEATH], and mixed by Scott Burns at the legendary Morrisound Studios) and 1989 demo "Bodily
Domination" (recorded and mixed by thrash pioneer Brian Taylor [SACRIFICE, SLAUGHTER] at
Umbrella Sound Studios). The release will contain both releases in their entirety, including demo-only
exclusive tracks with the full package being completely re-mastered by James Block of Rebarbative
Productions (who has worked on releases by THE RAVENOUS, SIGH, ABCESS, INQUISITION,
GEIMHRE, and XASTHUR). For fans of Sepultura, Obituary, Death, Sacrifice, Slaughter.
"Within Suffering", the sole full-length release from excellent Canadian thrash band Overthrow, was
originally released in 1990 by Epidemic Records. Apparently it was reissued by NHR Records in 2007
with the band's 1989 "Bodily Domination" demo and several live tracks as a bonus, though
unfortunately I had never heard of Overthrow before and was completely unaware of this fact. But
thankfully this outstanding reissue is now being distributed digitally by the increasingly impressive
MetalHit.com, so I was finally introduced to the band's material a few weeks ago. While the glory days
of thrash metal inarguably took place in the 80's, I must confess that many of my favorite thrash
records are from 1990/1991, and "Within Suffering" is right up my fuckin' alley with its super meaty
riffs and raging guitar tone. Expect snarling vocals over energetic, high-speed picking patterns
interspersed with chunky rhythms and quick little hints of melody - standard yet better than average
fare for the time period, basically. They pretty much perfectly combine American and European
sounds with a balance of Bay Area crunch/technicality and an aggressive yet punchy riffing style
reminiscent of late-80's era Kreator. I guess the fact that they didn't form until 1987 and released
their debut album just as thrash was first starting to "die out" didn't help them secure a great deal of
attention back in the day, but… this is such a quality release that I'm shocked I can't recall having
ever heard mention of Overthrow's name before!? Oh well! This is absolutely a hidden gem, and I'm
quite pleased to have learned of its existence, even if it did take almost 20 years!?
Review by: www.aversionline.com






Thrashing mad riffs, barked vocals, blistering 7 second leads, pounding drums and a shitload of 2-3
minute songs – that's what you get when you drop Overthrow's 1990 debut (and only) long player in
your CD playing mechanism of choice. There is also a kind of "proto-Death" groove happening here as
well as a noticeable hardcore influence that occasionally reminds me of Brutal Truth, and to a lesser
degree bands like Obituary. This is a re-release from Northern Horde Records and includes not only
the remastered original 9 tracks, but their 1989 six track demo "Bodily Domination" and 6 live tracks as
well!
There is no fucking around here, this is old school, before samples, intros and atmospheric tomfoolery
became popular, thus we are dropped straight into it with "Infected" and from there the pace never
lets up. This is fast and furious riff-based Thrash and there are more than enough riffs to go around,
and while they are maybe not particularly original they sure as fuck are well done. There is some
catchy riffing and vocals as well as some great throwback group chant choruses, short, sharp and to
the point! In a time when even the revival bands are trying to bring their sound into the naughties it is
refreshing to be hit with these kinds of reissues of lesser known bands, and if you're anything like me,
at the very least this will inspire you to go and crack out some of those albums you haven't heard for
years. The demo tracks don't differ from the album versions as best as I can tell, apart from some
awesome terrible production (that for some reason really adds to the charm rather than detracts from
the songs). The live tracks are really raw and sound great although they are a straight rip from the
sound board with only feint crowd sounds, but they sound really good, very tight and fast and are
the highlight of this compilation displaying the band at what was probably the top of its game.
The downside to all this is that Within Suffering is a somewhat one-dimensional affair that sticks pretty
much to the formula, and the fact we get each track two or three times doesn't help. Make no
mistake, this really shreds in small doses, but when taken as a whole it is obvious that even if they
kept going these guys were doomed to be underground (or who the fuck knows, probably they would
have grown and expanded and made a name for themselves), as this is fairly background-ish. Given
their general similarity to acts like Dark Angel, Kreator, (early) Anthrax, and the like, the question you
need to answer is "why would I drop this in when I have dozens of 80's Thrash albums already, most
of which are much better?" The answer is "you wouldn't", but for sure you could do a hell of a lot
worse, and with all the bonus stuff on this disc it represents pretty damn good value for your
dollaroonies. Fans of Thrash will not be disappointed.
