"Overruled is a speed/thrash metal band from the Netherlands known for their direct, uncompromising metal. They previously released an EP in 2013, followed by the full-length album Hybris in 2018. On this new EP, titled Ritual of Rebirth, the band takes a clear step towards a heavier and darker sound, in which, besides speed and thrash, influences from death and black metal are also prominent. The music is more layered, intense, and thematically focused than before. For this release, Overruled joined forces with No Dust Records. The EP was recorded by Fredde Kaddeth at Dirty Bird Recording Studio and mixed and mastered by Erwin Hermsen at Toneshed Music Production, resulting in a powerful, transparent production that supports both the speed and the heavier, darker elements. The artwork was designed by Misanthropic-Art Illustrations and visually matches the intensity and atmosphere of the EP."
