In 1987 they released their first album called Conscience . The next album followed with You're Really Big! in 1989. This album was later to be re-mastered.

In 1990 the band recorded the album Addicted to Reality , which was followed by Circus of Death in 1992. A remastered version was also released later.

style

Overdose's contributions to the split LP Século XX / Bestial Devastation are reminiscent of "[s] in parts [...] of a mixture of old SLAYER , HALLOWS EVE and the first IRON MAIDEN discs". The band plays classic Thrash Metal, with the guitar riffs described as progressive. The band's lyrics are political in nature.
