Hardsounds.it - November 2007 - Overtures @ MotorockAS Rock Club
feat. Wasteland - October 13th 2007
Live report on www.hardsounds.it
(Only in Italian)
"[...]Overtures' sound is even better on the stage: maybe because
of their overwhelming style, maybe because of their great technical
control of all the elements, maybe because of a team work that deserves
respect, even more considering that we're not talking about a band on
the stages from ages. The show of this band was convincing from every
point of view. [...]
[...] I'm sure they'll reach a lot of satisfaction: they're young and
bold, a tradition for every true-rocker!

Metal to Infinity - October 2008
Review on Metal to Infinity
Italian Translation
"[...] From the very beginning it is clear this band
contains some very exceptional musicians. Especially their singer,
Michele Guaitoli [...]
[...] A lot
of singers in our Metal movement have a very good voice but
those who are able to add emotions in their singing parts are pretty
rare [...]
[...] colossal guitar parts [...]
[...] Some parts of this CD belong to the strongest I have heard in a
long time and
Overtures mostly delivers awesomeness in its purest form [...]
[...] Their mix of the better Metal of the eighties and modern sounds is astonishing. [...]"

Review on heavyworlds.com (Only in Italian)
"[...] They focus on the good turn out of the whole song, every
effort is centred on the creation of every single song [...]
[...] They don't just put metal and rock riffs together: it would be
easy. The thing is that they mix the whole thing without leaving any
sort of stodgy remain. They create a sequence of convincing songs [...]

Metallized.it - March 2008
Review on www.metallized.it (only in Italian)
"[...] this album let itself be listened in an easy
way, with its perfect balance between influences
from Iron Maiden and from a good American hard-rock
[...]
[...] Technically speaking, a good job has been done. I think about both
the guitarists Marco Falanga and Daniele Piccolo [...] Well done also to
the bass player Luka Klanjscek with his deep and rich of presence sound
[...] Also the vocalist Michele Guaitoli "passed the test" [...]

Musicsquare.it - February 2008
Review
on www.musicsquare.it (only in Italian)
"[...] They get out with style and class, composing eight
classic heavy-metal songs with a lot of melody, arranged with skill and
played well [...]
[...] the guitar woks are often original, unabashed both in the
distorted and in clean moments, where they show that they can give us
tender and soft emotions too [...]
[...] [...]

Metallus.it - January 2008
Review
on www.metallus.it
"[...] The album shows that Overtures have some good bullets
to shot [...]
[...] “Faded Dream” and “Town Of Desolation” are
enriched by
swing elements and an instrumental part that has to be respected: an
element we also found in “A Time Of My Life”[...]
[...] we have to hope that Overtures may continue to improve their
skills and offer others respectable products [...] "
Truemetal.it - December 2007
Review on www.truemetal.it
English Translation
"[...] A debut album that is impossible to be labelled as
"petty" or impersonal [...]
[...]
Eclecticism and a huge skill in variegating their composing style seems
to be two of the main virtues of this five guys from Gorizia, really
able in making their music "alive" and variegated, moreover with a
technical skill definitely above the standards [...]
[...] An excellent songwriting level and a quality rate of an high
standard that, if honed a little more and taken away from the very
little shady areas, could assure a lot of satisfactions, giving the gift
to Italian and foreigner public of a new sparkling band on which you can
bet without doubts [...]"
Eutk.net - December 2007
Review on www.eutk.net
English Translation
"[...] Passing from a "positive" demo to a convincing "official"
album is not a simple thing to be done, so the first thing I have to do
it's say "well done" to Overtures [...]
[...]
They manage to translate their composing ability into good songs
using the techniques and the style of a big band [...]
[...] Getting even better and high-handedly reach a really high
position is a chance Overtures really have [...]"

"[...]
Sia le tracce pił rock'n'roll che quelle di metal melodico sono ben
suonate [...]

Slam! - December 2007
Review
in Italian

"[...]
I'm sure this sound would perfectly satisfy who's grown up eating
bread and Iron Maiden [...]
[...] The 8 tracks are well played and composed, created for who wants to
discover new Italian bands with Edguy, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple,
Helloween & the Hard'n'Heavy of the eighties in their blood [...]"

Recensione su www.tempi-duri.it
(Only in Italian)
"[...]
These five guys have realized a more than good album that leaves us at
least five songs that can offer something different from the
heavy-standards of the moment [...]
[...] It is sure: they have all the rights to make a new album we'll
appreciate even more in their future [...]"

Metalmillenium.net - September 2007
Recensione su www.metalmillennium.net
"[...]All in all, we have an outstanding CD in all of its
parts: from the artworks to the recordings. The production is
impressive; the musicians are really good; the songwriting -even
if inspired from the monsters of rock- succeeds in being original and is
enriched by a not indifferent chromatic taste. The rhythmic section
managed by the Klanjscek brothers doesn't miss a shot and Michele's
voice is the icing on the cake: great extension, fantastic timber and
great elasticity. So I have really nothing to say to Overtures, but an
hope: go on this way and work on your songwriting to reach your best;

[...]It’s nice to hear a young act just starting out and hope I get to
hear a lot more about them in the near future - a band to watch for.

Review on www.musicologi.com

"[...]This band is really interesting! I've been hit by how

riffing and melodies. The recording is crystal-clear and near to
perfection, technical skills too (the video must be seen). This
"Overtures" is never petty[...]"
