Bio:

OVERTURES are a melodic heavy metal band born in Gorizia in June 2003. The line-up is composed by Michele Guaitoli (voice), Marco Falanga (guitar), Luka Klanjscek (bass), and Andrea Cum (drums). Overtures’ first concert was in September 2003.

2006 – 2008: BEYOND THE WATERFALL
During the summer of 2006 Overtures started to record their first full-length album “Beyond The Waterfall”, which contains eight original songs: “Beyond the waterfall”, “Toy”, “Faded Dream”, “Town of Desolation”, “Silent Observer”, “The Self-Pitier”, “A Time of my Life”, “Hideout”; for a total length of about 40 minutes. In May 2007 OVERTURES signed a contract with the Italian label “Videoradio”.In July 2008, one year after the Italian release of the album “Beyond The Waterfall”, OVERTURES got in touch with “Rock It Up records” and signed a contract with the German label for the worldwide distribution of the CD. As a consequence of the deal with “Rock It Up Records”, OVERTURES started a set of promotional shows both in Italy and Europe, playing in different Italian cities and in Holland, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Slovenia and other European countries. Songs taken from the album “Beyond The Waterfall” have been inserted in different European and Italian compilations and broadcast in many radio programs in Italy, U.S.A., Germany, England, Portugal and Brazil.

2009: REUNATION “A Tribute to Running Wild”
On November 13th 2009 the German label “Remedy Records” published “ReUnation – A Tribute To Running Wild”, an official tribute album to the legendary German band. The album was released because of the dissolution of Running Wild and featured, among the others, also by Overtures with their version of “Pirate Song”.

2010: REBIRTH
In October 2010 OVERTURES announced their passage to “Sleaszy Rider Records”, with whom they signed a new deal that links the two parts until 2013. The Greek label scheduled the release date of “Rebirth”, second full-length of the band and first album with the new line-up on March 7th 2011.“Rebirth”, mastered by ”Mika Jussila” (Children of Bodom, Nightwish, HIM, Lordi, Edguy & altri) at “Finnvox Studios” in Helsinki, and with the artwork drew by “Michael Schindler” (Motörhead, Grave Digger, Mystic Circle, Crematory & altri), contains the songs “Here We fall”, “Fly Angel”, “You Can’t spit On Me”, “Delirium”, “Farewell”,“Not Too Late”, “The Prophecy”, “My Name Is Fear“, “Easy”, “Daemons” and the bonus track “Not Too Late” in its acoustic version. As special guests on the album there are also “Rafahell” from “Elvenking” and “Akos Komodi” from “Halor”. Before the release of the album OVERTURES also shot their first videoclip for the song “Fly, Angel”, later broadcasted on some of the main European TV channels, among which Rock TV Italy and MTV Greece.

FEBRUARY 2012: LIFE’S REBIRTH EUROPEAN TOUR
After the release of “Rebirth” the management of the band is put in charge of the Italian “Extreme Agency” in Italy, the English “Extreme Music Agency” (httpa//www.extrememusicagency.com/:::www.extrememusicagency.com) for the UK and northern Europe, and of the Brazilian agency “Insano Booking & Management” for the rest of the world. It also begins a minor deal with “Vivo Management” . Thanks to this collaborations, on February 2012 OVERTURES set off for their first European Tour - Life’s Rebirth European Tour 2012 - meant to promote the latest album “Rebirth” throughout Europe.

2012-2013: NEW LINE UP, NEW ALBUM, NEW MANAGEMENT
After the European Tour the band immediately started to work on a new album. With the new work the band also had a change in its line up: Adriano Crasnich substituted former member Daniele Piccolo and, for a very short time, Marco Falanga too is substituted by Stefano d’Amore, to be back a few months later. At the same time the management of the band is put in charge of the German agency “B.Musik Management”, a promotion deal is reached with the agency “Full Metal Service” and a minor deal is reached with the English agency “Extreme Music Agency” for the U.K. Booking.

2013: ENTERING THE MAZE & BRAZITALIAN EUROPEAN TOUR
On May 31st the band releases the new album “Entering The Maze”, containing 10 tracks: “The Maze”, “Under The Northern Star”, “Of Nightmares”, “Savior”, “Empty Trails”, “Consequences”, “In The Middle Of Nowhere”, “Programmed To Serve”, “A Different Point Of View”, “The Oracle”. The album also comes out with a DVD where the band introduces, after “Fly, Angel”, its second official videoclip for the song “Savior”. “Entering The Maze”, second release born from the collaboration between OVERTURES and Sleaszy Rider Records and mastered by “Sascha Paeth” (Edguy, Kamelot, Avantasia, Epica & more) @ Gate Studio sets the band to a new unique, personal and heavy sound that is strongly noticed by press, which immediately embraces the album with wonderful reviews. Just a few months after the release of “Entering The Maze”, thanks to the great response received, OVERTURES got scheduled for the Brazitalian European Tour as supporters to the co-headlining bands Almah & Secret Sphere and from November 1st to November 17th the three bands travel throughout Europe to promote their new albums together.

2014: THE 'EUROPEAN JOURNEY' & THE EASTERN EUROPEAN TOURS

After the Brazitalian European Tour the band's management is put in charge of the Italian agency Truck Me Hard. The new collaboration perfectly works and immediately shows its results. After some appearance at some summer festivals, Overtures got scheduled first for two mini-tours in the eastern Europe: in September with Secret Sphere and in October with Temperance, "Entering the Maze" is promoted again with 6 shows in Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Slovenia, Slovakia. Just after one month, in November 2014, thanks to the collaboration between Truck Me Hard, Intromental, Rock the Nation and Sleaszy Rider Records, Overtures jumped into the tour-bus again as main supporters for English progressive metal masters Threshold. The 'European Joruney 2014' definitively delivers the band into the international panorama with 19 shows in the EU and UK. Immediately after this new tour, the band starts working on a new album.Overtures' booking and management is actually in charge of Truck Me Hard Agency.

Album:

Following the success of 2013's Entering The Maze, Italian metal band Overtures toured much of Europe supporting the album and bands such as Secret Sphere, Temperance, and Threshold. Now they return with the fourth long-player, Artifacts.My first impression of this album is that it's an appropriate sequel to the previous one. Overtures continues to blend heavy, power, and progressive metal in a creative and entertaining way. Not dismissing any band member or element, the band's strength are still Marco Falanga's bold guitar riffage and solos and Michele Guaitoli's versatile vocals woven together with a strong sense of melody and prog metal intrigue. The latter is to say that Overtures is never grossly technical. This isn't math metal. Yet they do throw in some twists and turns in tempo and signature changes. A good example is Gold, with the huge shift in tempo after the midpoint, a rush of speed with the solo blazing.My second impression is that this album may have some greater accessibility beyond power prog fans. Some of the best songs here have an abundance rock groove, making them catchy in the best AOR sense. Like As Candles We Burned, where the groove and melody are inseparably woven together. Or the following Profiled. Sure, from the brisk riffage, you know this is metal, but the catchy refrain and Guaitoli's vocal harmony lift the song. It's much the same for My Refuge: groove and vocal harmony juxtaposed against tight riffage and a speedy pace. Alternatively, being from the country and the home of cinematic power metal, Overture needs to give you some epic. That comes with Teardrop. At over ten minutes, the song builds upon the vocal and guitar arrangements, ever advancing and rising throughout, supported by some subtle orchestration, and then peppered with Falanga's fine solos. (Which are quite fiery throughout.) Bottom line: For Overtures, Artifacts is another fine album of creative and engaging progressive power metal, displaying both their ever increasing musical talent and maturity. Recommended.
