Swedish '80s metallers OVERDRIVE have posted a new track, entitled "Bring Me To Submission", on their MySpace page. The song comes off the group's new album, "Let The Metal Do The Talking", which has just been released through Lion Music. The group's first LP in 24 years was mixed at Sound Palace Studios with producer Johan Blomström (BLINDED COLONY, CALM, KAPTAIN SUN). The band's two previous studio albums — "Metal Attack" (1983) and "Swords And Axes" (1984) — were re-issued by High Vaultage in 2003.

Commented the band: "[Johan Blomström] captured the good old '80s essence of the band, but still provided freshness and power to the production. Old fans won't be disappointed and hopefully we'll find a new generation of fans, too."

OVERDRIVE's current lineup includes original members Janne Stark (guitar), Kjell Jacobsson (guitar), Kenth Ericsson (bass) and Kenta Svensson (drums) plus former UNCHAINED singer Per "Perilo" Karlsson, who joined the band when they reformed in 2004.

The CD also includes a bonus — the video for "Back On The Hunt" (2006 version).

The album cover was created by Monowasp (TNT, DANTE FOX) and is said to follow "in the fine old OVERDRIVE tradition."
