Overcast at This Is Hardcore 2014 (Multi-Cam Full Set)

[@michaeledward5201]

Brian Fair: "When Overcast started [in Boston] in 1990, we were stealing ideas from Integrity and Starkweather. They were some of the first bands I heard who had amazing melodic singing and brutal screaming, and I loved Coalesce and Converge. It was an exciting time for music because that was before anyone was getting trapped into a formula." Mike D'Antonio: "The funny thing is, we didn’t have a musical direction at all when we were writing songs [for Overcast]. We were putting things together almost at random, so it took quite a few years to figure out where we wanted the band to go. We took on that evil Integrity attitude about hating the world and being down on your luck. Then bands started popping, like Starkweather in Philadelphia. They were huge for us. We looked up to the way they jumped from one type of a genre to another in an instant and gave the listener a bit of whiplash. Also, [Brooklyn’s] Candiria was a force to be reckoned with. They were throwing as many different styles of music into their songs as possible, and that’s something that Overcast got a little too caught up in-the breakneck swerves and turns that we tried to purposely put into our music so that the listener didn’t know what was coming next."

We are Overcast. From Massachusetts. Never forget.

Man anyone from back in the day? Some of those show lineups we had. Fortydaysrain, Fragment, Groundzero, Overcast, Shadows Fall, Converge, Cave In, Barrit, Gandiva, DeadEyesUnder. This show from 2014 has them sounding as they did in their prime. One of the best shows in my memory from this era was the massive bill in 1997 in Brockton. Overcast, Diecast, Punch The Klown, XXL, etc, etc.....PLUS Shai Hulud with the original singer. But man.... those dreadlocks down at his ass? I remember getting whipped in the face by them back when they were just below his shoulders :D

[@Dakkadez]

One of the greatest bands on the planet, and I was so happy to be a part of these times when they started out.

[@hemensdungeon4318]

[@jasetasyrotchen824]

We know where we come from

[@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence]

Any NE natives remember that show in 97 maybe 98 in Brockton with Diecast and Shai Hulud with their first singer? Also remember Overcast at several gnarly shows at St. Johns Gym in Clinton, E-Bar and The Space in Worchester, and even a few in Rochester, NH at the Safe and Sound.

[@robinmerrill1176]

Overcast were/are transcendent! First time I saw them at the Pearl St night club in Northampton Ma is like 97, changed my life. The fuckin greatest

[@chriscosta2103]

overcast is a big part of hardcore and metalcore, their ties to the genre are insane, you wouldnt have shadows fall, killswitch engage or aftershock they all have members of overcast

[@xangrycatmanx5104]

@rajivaksha dasa Technically we're all punk bitches and bastards coz we all came to this overcast live video

[@666deathghost]

@rajivaksha dasa what should have he said instead?

[@xpoop315X]

Holy fucking shit. This is an amazing mix. 8,132 views? People are idiots. Brian still sounds monstrous...

[@lancesheffield3433]

Played with these great guys back in the days many times. This is TRUE HARDCORE? METALCORE!!!!

[@sjakiem7133]

Still unmatched.

[@DrScott666]

Brings me back to final incarnation of The Livingroom in Providence or Jarrod's in Attleboro... You could see what are today the BIGGEST names in Metalcore hone their craft for $5 on ANY given Tuesday night and then go to the after parties at the jam spaces.

[@KMHrock89]

Thoroughly enjoy hearing the roots of my favorite music. 😍

[@xangrycatmanx5104]

Troooooo

[@Thefury06484]

I still don’t think any band sounds like overcast. Such a fucking great band.

[@whoiamandthem1439]

they godfather of metallic hc

[@whoiamandthem1439]

GODFATHER OF METALCORE

[@whenpigsfly860]

First saw Overcast in maybe 95. In early Overcast demos, Brian wasn’t screaming yet, but when he started, it changed almost everyone’s approach to singing. He’s amazing and sounds better than ever.

[@itskevinzerbe]

Classic metalcore.

[@xanighttoforgetx]

xGrendelx overcast rule bro,and what that guy above needs to remember is that turnstile didnt invent hxc hahahahahaha.overcast have been around longer than he has been born

[@gratefulyaug3403]

HOW CAN I ExPECT YOU TO CHANGE YOUR FACE !!!

[@neurodermatitis]

Funny thing, I was searching for hardcore (gabber/techno) artist Overcast (Mark N).

[@jasetasyrotchen824]

pretty John or whatever your name is. Your ignorance becomes you, you post as if you think Overcast is a new band. This band ,oh this band was a part of a scene that people like you cannot comprehend. They have been around longer than your Turnstiles, Tui, and even Terror. They have infinitely influenced an army of bands that came after. Pop your bubble, expand your horizons

[@x518BEATDOWNx]

New kids have no clue about this stuff man. It's useless to even try and give them an explanation. Most, not all, are close minded when it comes to music these days.

[@elduce7166]

Do you honestly expect a Turnstile-TUI-Terror fan to even understand this band? I don't think they can understand what Overcast was ever. Overcast were spinning records, and terrorizing jockcore bands like those three you mentioned for years. Hatebreed stole riffs from this group and got big of aping Overcast's sound.

[@andrewhateball9410]

Jockcore fans didn’t know what the fuck to do when Overcast hit the stage. Haha

[@natemay2118]

Still my favorite band ever, I remember seeing these guys at 121 in Brockton in the way early years. Got the privilege of opening for them twice in providence and Boston 🤘🏻

[@Drewminican666]

OG BOSTON METALCORE IYKYK 🤘🏼🤯🤘🏼

[@m-tron5966]

the sound is SO FUCKING CLEAN 😃

[@thewaterboytheory]

Truly pioneer!

[@pawandeshpande]

This guy realizing he has no idea what he's doing @ 15:18 😂

[@heelgill]

Mike's so electric here onstage with Overcast than with KSE. Although KsE has banger songs, I can't blame him. This band’s sound are roots if that makes any sense.

[@michaeldavenport3993]

Oh how I wish i lived 2 hours closer.....

[@BlackMountainConst]

Biartz!

[@anthonybello]

Metalcore gods

[@joe5834]

We fuck this planet dry! And my question to you is; do we live through this

[@knucklehedzinc]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[@michaeledward5201]

1994 saw the release of Overcast's first album, Expectational Dilution. Many folks point to that record as one the most important releases in the evolution of metalcore. What's your take on that? I am real proud that people look back at the music Overcast made and think it helped to shape some of the musical landscape in the heavy music world. We were definitely a band that was mixing metal and hardcore at a time when not a lot of bands were doing it, and at a time when some people were very opposed to the idea. For us, it was only natural. Our guitar player, Pete Cortese, was a total metalhead into thrash and death metal with little knowledge of hardcore at the time. Mike and I were total hardcore kids but also loved Slayer and Morbid Angel. All of those ideas and influences show up in that record. You can also hear the youthful energy and low budget that gives it a more "hardcore" feel.

That guy really needs to wash his hair.

[@orphanofsickness]

Overcast is awesome but I agree, that hair is nasty...but if he can rock those dreads and still pay the bills more power to him...love these guys. Cheers!
