History
Overcast formed in 1990 in Boston.[6]
The band broke up in 1998 following an unsuccessful tour.[7] Following the disbandment of Overcast, several members would go on to join other bands. Vocalist Brian Fair joined Shadows Fall in 1999, bassist Mike D'Antonio co-founded Killswitch Engage in 1999, and guitarist Pete Cortese was briefly in Killswitch Engage from 2000 to 2001.
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]
