Overdose (band)
Overdose was a brazilian Thrash Metal band.
Biography
Overdose was one of Brazil's oldest metal bands, having been formed in Belo Horizonte in the early 80's by Bozo and Claudio David. By 1985 a stable lineup had materialized and the band, ready to record, attracted the interest of the brand new Cogumelo record label. As they didn't yet have enough material for a full-length album, it was decided that they'd release a split LP with another young Brazilian band by the name of Sepultura. While Sepultura conquered the world metal scene several years later, Overdose has done reasonably well in their home country. Of their albums, only one garnered major international attention, was 1992's Circus Of Death. After The Release of their last album (Scars, in 1995) the band carried on amidst some lineup changes, (including, ironically, the addition of founding Sepultura guitarist Jairo Guedz), but disbanded in 1997.
