Daniel Mayes A great blend of Sabbathesque - modern rock stylings. Smooth vocals with some classy blues rock/metal. Favorite track: Authors.

Harry Harrison To me, this album's sound is not unlike the prog metal of early 80's Iron Maiden. This is a style that I have always liked and Overlord's take on it is refreshing and thoroughly enjoyable. Favorite track: Ascent.

Jan Find of 2014 so far for me. This band mixes classic lead playing with groove elements and an indie inspired vocal. The end result is amazingly good. Favorite track: Ascent.

This time We'll stand taller It's time for us to take you under Face up We won't take this anymore Conventions We must fell them Step up, who's Gonna tell them They can't rule us They won't rule us anymore CHORUS We are the authors of tomorrow We've got to hold you to your words No more excuses or illusions Don't you pretend you haven't heard You haven't heard You haven't heard You haven't heard You haven't heard! Their rules Are misguided Self-serving and simple-minded We ask questions We’re left staring at the wall These people Do not question Stand up, time to pay attention You can’t let them We won’t let them carry on CHORUS

Rollin' on And my blades still sharp Gonna take you down Gonna make my mark Gotta keep on moving Gotta take you down CHORUS I don’t know why you did what you did But it ain’t something I can forgive I’m gonna take you down I don't know why you do what you do But every path just leads me to you I'm gonna take you down You got time to kill You got time to waste And what you’re feeling now Is just a little taste Gotta have my vengance Y’gotta see what you’ve become CHORUS

Ascent 04:53
Head’s on fire One desire Climb a little higher than before Steps I’ve mastered Pushing faster Knowing in my heart that I won’t fall CHORUS Ascent And climb into the sky Ascent I feel like I could fly Ascent My heart begins to race Ascent Keeping steady Feeling ready Try your worst you couldn’t stop me now Rise above this Taking notice In my heart I feel no fear at all CHORUS

Switch Off 04:14
Your guiding light sits in the palm of your hand Obey its orders and respect its demands Can’t comprehend how you can think that it’s right To let this dominate your day and your night CHORUS Desperate quest to connect The bond is fickle, no respect Fictitious world inside your mind Switch off and see what you can find You’re disembodied from the world that we’re in Closed-off and callous, you’re closed-minded, thick skinned Wish we could break our chains, I wish we were free From domination by this technology CHORUS
