ABOUT

Overtoun emerged in early 2014 from the minds of drummer Agustin Lobo and guitarist Matias Bahamondes. Their relentless drive has fueled their journey through the metal scene, marked by their potent blend of social criticism and musical ferocity.

 

The lineup solidified with the addition of vocalist Yoav Ruiz-Feingold (Atheist, Graviton, Till The Dirt) in late 2017, and bassist Matias Salas (Nuvian) in 2022. Their debut album, Centuries of Lies (2018), laid the foundation for their sound and earned them substantial media attention.

 

Their sophomore effort, This Darkness Feels Alive (2021), mastered by the legendary Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica) and adorned with artwork by Paolo Girardi, propelled them to new heights, securing the Best Metal Artist award at the 2022 Chilean Pulsar Awards and earning critical acclaim in publications like Decibel, Metalized, and Legacy.

 

Overtoun’s unyielding work ethic has seen them through five tours in their homeland of Chile, with ventures into Argentina—sharing stages with SINISTER—and a recent Brazilian tour. They have graced events like the MetalBeer Fest with DEATH TO ALL and were set to join the 2024 CL.Rock Festival. They opened for metallers ATHEIST and CRYPTOPSY and they just got back from their first Japan tour run, probably being the first Chilean metal band to do so. 

 

Overtoun is channeling their energy into their third studio album, collaborating with producer Martin Furia (DESTRUCTION, BARK), setting the stage for another impactful release and tour cycle.
