Bands You Should Know: Anger Overdose
Anger Overdose is an industrial metal band with members from both Australia and the northeastern U.S. Recently, Anger Overdose combined forces with singer/songwriter Melishah, adding her standout vocals to the mix. For fans of 3Teeth, Sköld, Ludovico Technique, and the later era of KMFDM.
Anger Overdose will be releasing their next single, “Replicate,” soon. The band is also starting The AoDiscussion Live, a show on which they invite other artists to chat about various topics and just generally have a good time. The first episode will premiere on October 20th!
My personal favorite song from Anger Overdose is “Army of the Undead.” It is the third track on their 2022 album AOD.
And here is the band’s latest single, “The Game.” This Motörhead cover features Superposition.

Bands You Should Know: Shadow Reborn
You may remember my mentioning Shadow Reborn back in May, when I wrote this review of their EP, Realm of the Wicked. Well, I’m here to insist, again, that you check out this band!
Shadow Reborn is from Florida and offers all the glitz and glam of the 80s hair metal era with the darker macabre element of bands such as The 69 Eyes, Type O Negative, and Lacrimosa. A self-proclaimed theatrical goth metal act, this quintet has time traversing imagery, lyrics that delve straight into the human psyche, heavy riffs, and catchy anthemic choruses. Thus far, they have released two EPs – Intricacies (2015) and Realm of the Wicked (2022) – and several singles.
Below are my favorite track from Shadow Reborn, as well as their most recent single, and links to their socials. Be sure to follow them to keep up with any news, show announcements, and/or music releases.
