Overtoun / Time To Kill Records
"DEATH DRIVE ANTHROPOLOGY is the third full-length strike from Chilean/American death-thrash force OVERTOUN. Channeling the death drive (Thanatos) into a furious soundtrack of human rituals, the album unfolds as a Book of Death, exploring how cultures confront mortality, violence, collapse, and the transformative power of art.
Fused with Chilean rhythms, folk-inspired guitars, and memorable riffs, it features guest appearances by MAX PHELPS (CYNIC, DEATH TO ALL), ENRICO H. DI LORENZO (HIDEOUS DIVINITY), and SHANTANU VYAS (HAZING OVER). With virtuosic musicianship and a raw, organic sound that recalls the primal spirit of classic metal, Overtoun channels both precision and rage. Produced by renowned Argentinian producer MARTÍN FURIA (DESTRUCTION, BARK) and released via Time To Kill Records, Overtoun asserts itself as one of the most exciting and promising Latin American Metal acts today."

Scathing, murderous thrashing death plugged straight into the motherlode of extreme metal riffing. Hints of progressive technicality fail to dull the ferocity of 'Death Drive Anthropology' nor dampen the groovy breakdowns that are abundant throughout the album.
'Death Drive Anthropology' is an extremely clever mutation of the death/thrash genre. Melodious yet crunchy as hell and unusually for a thrash album, enthralls throughout.
