Overcast was an American metalcore band that formed in Boston in 1990,[3] and disbanded in 1998 after an unsuccessful tour.[4] The band is often regarded as pioneers of metalcore.[5][6][7]

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.[8][9] In 2011, ex-Overcast bandmates Mike D'Antonio, Pete Cortese and Brian Fair announced the formation of their new side-project, Death Ray Vision.[10]
