Overlorde (NC) Demo Question

nightsblood · Post by **nightsblood** » Thu May 31, 2012 5:26 pm

Strappado recently posted a second demo by the great Overlorde from NC (the one that did the killer 'Medieval Metal' demo and was on one of the later Metal Massacre comps). On the 'new' demo (recorded in '87), track 3, 'Trouble', sounds like a different band. Is this really Overlorde, or someone else? I'd swear it's WILD DOGS; the vocals sound like vintage 'Reign of Terror' material. Maybe this track got included by accident? Thanks for any clarification. I've also inquired about this at strappado's site. If it's not Overlorde, does anyone know who it is?

Maybe someone has the CD release and there's some info in the booklet(if included)? That last track does sound a lot like Wild Dogs...

I signed up to that forum to get the demo, damn annoying how you are supposed to say thanks to see the links. Page after page of one-word posts.

I mean this, which was mentioned in the demo thread; http://www.soundsofpurgatory.com/overlo ... altoo.aspx

While that track sounds like Wild Dogs, I don't think the vocals sound -exactly- the same.

I don't have access to that forum, if you posted that track here maybe I could help.

You're right, it does sound like WD Michael Furlong-era, but it's not WD. That track doesn't appear neither on Reign of terror nor on the unreleased LP Dead to the world.

The CD reissue mentions only one singer for all the tracks, Steve Sosa Jr. It's a later recording, however it is still Overlorde. The CD notes don't say something special about it.
