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.
