Overmars

Band: Overmars
Genre: Atmospheric Sludge, Sludge/Doom

Country: France

Overmars are a criminally underrated sludge/doom metal band with their own twist of a haunting atmosphere. They made one track on Affliction that was totally made for a horror film soundtrack. Affliction... is a 12-track long album with concept-themed interludes spaced between the main songs, while Born Again is a 40 minute single song album which is one haunting and torturous trip (in a good way, of course). Both albums are strong on their own, all containing a vicious guttural vocalist, great keyboards, repetitive and hard-hitting guitars, pummeling drums with interesting fills here and there.
