A Tribute to the Godfather of Metal

Lemmy Kilmister’s indomitable spirit and legacy resonate through ‘Gods of War,’ an unrelenting track capturing the raw energy and rebellious ethos that made Motörhead iconic. The band shares:
"Motörhead has always been a massive influence on us. This single is our way of celebrating Lemmy’s spirit and contributions to metal. He was the ultimate embodiment of rock 'n' roll, and we’re proud to honor him with this song."

The video for ‘Gods of War’ was masterfully crafted by Kieran Scott , blending dynamic visuals with the band’s powerful sound, creating a fitting homage to Lemmy’s monumental legacy.

About OVERTHROW

Formed in 2011, OVERTHROW began as a gritty thrash outfit in the London underground but has since evolved into a formidable force in the blackened death metal scene. Their music fuses the ferocity of thrash with the cavernous brutality of death metal, delivering a sound that is uncompromising and boundary-pushing.

Their latest EP, “Ascension of the Entombed” (released October 13th, 2023, via Redefining Darkness Records), has garnered widespread acclaim:

Metal Hammer UK: “Uncompromising but bristling with expansive new possibilities.”
Dom Lawson (Metal Hammer UK): “Four commanding chunks of unholy aggro… huge enough to raise the dead.”

The EP, produced and engineered by Scott Bacon and mixed/mastered by Harris Zourelidis ( Dead Congregation ), features four crushing tracks of death/thrash excellence.

Live Performances and Legacy

OVERTHROW has earned a reputation as a must-see live act, having shared the stage with Midnight, Night Demon, Diamond Head , and thrash legends Evile . Recent performances include Riff Fest in London and a headline show supporting Evile.
