Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Powerful Debut - Remastered!.......2007-01-19

I must admit that when I think of Swedish bands, it's usually a classic melodic rock band (Europe, Treat) or a modern death metal band (In Flames, Dark Tranquillity) that comes to mind, not a NWOBHM-influenced power metal band. But that's exactly the kind of music Swedish metallers Overdrive delivered.

Overdrive embraced the early 80's New Wave of British Heavy Metal sound. Their sound draws heavily on bands like Saxon, Diamond Head, White Spirit, and early Iron Maiden. It rocks hard, but there is still a melodic aspect to the songs on Metal Attack - the band's 1983 debut album. Everything about this album, from the musical style to the song titles to the album cover art practically screams NWOBHM.

The 2003 Metal for Muthas reissue of Metal Attack features digitally remastered sound as well as 5 bonus tracks. They're just pre-production demos, and don't add all that much to the album, but it is interesting to hear these songs in an unfinished, instrumental state. You also get a nice booklet with expanded liner notes, tons of photos, and a "family tree" that traces the members of Overdrive and their involvement in the early Swedish metal scene.
