Overmars

Lyon, France's contribution to the post-metal movement, Overmars began appearing on split EPs in 2002 and recorded their first album, Affliction, Endocrine...Vertigo, in 2005, immediately distinguishing themselves with an oppressive, droning, oftentimes sludgy interpretation of the genre. Their next album, 2007's Born Again, was comprised of a single 40-minute song suite as challenging as the post-metal scene had witnessed up to that point. The following year saw the release of another split EP (this time with Icos) and an EP entitled Büccolision. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
