Overt Enemy release new lyric video “In The End We Died”

Texas thrashers Overt Enemy have revealed their new video “In The End We Died” via Metal Bite. The song is from their recently released album Inception x Possession.

Lead Vocalist/Guitarist Leo Ortiz commented, “We set out to write an epic modern thrash “monster” song and we proudly wear our influences on our sleeve. It’s kind of ironic we are releasing this video in the middle of a pandemic because that is exactly what happens in the song. It’s one of our favorites to play live and our producer Joshua Lopez (Immortal Guardian) threw down some keyboard and a ripper guitar solo at the end of the track.

Guitarist Rob Hahn added, “I had the lyrics about 90% written for a few years just waiting for the right song. In the End We Died is about the zombie apocalypse written from the perspective of a zombie in retrospect. So imagine you become one of the undead and are standing around with other zombies a few years later and one asks “what happened to you?”…this is that story.

Bassist Laura “Slayerella” Ortiz further said, “Scott Rudd (Opeth, Fit For an Autopsy, Fear Factory) absolutely nailed the tone of the song with the lyric video and we hope everyone enjoys it.

Drummer Jaime Ayala also commented, “Zombie overdrive for the metal masses! Our contribution to the apocalyptic realm!
