/Post-rock, Crossover, Progressive metal, Art rock, Progressive rock, Symphonic metal, Melodic rock/

Comment: Overcolored is a pretentious ensemble from Krakow, Poland whose oeuvre do meet at the crossroads of soothing, at times concrete music-induced post-rock-ish developments, tumultuous progressive rock-ish rhythm patterns and acrid guitar riffs, and spectacular symphonic rock/melodic metal (indeed, the instrumental side is finely counterbalanced by female operatic soaring). In a nutshell, the result is an intricate and intriguing whole. And the coverprint is shrewd and metaphorical indeed.
