Overcast was an American metalcore band that started in the early 1990s, but broke up in 1998 after an unsuccessful tour.[3] The band is often regarded as the godfather of metalcore.[4][5][6]

In 2006, they reunited to play the 2006 installment of the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival, and announced that they would release a new album entitled Reborn to Kill Again with 11 re-recorded classic tracks and two unreleased tracks.[7][8] In 2011, ex-Overcast bandmates Mike D'Antonio, Pete Cortese and Brian Fair announced the formation of their new side-project, "Death Ray Vision".[9]
