OVERSENSE is currently one of the most emerging bands the European Metal scene has to offer. The band around the charismatic frontman Danny Meyer, YouTube star guitarist Jasmin 'Jassy J.' Pabst, bass player Marco Volpert and drummer Patrick Lippert belong to the hottest Modern Melodic Metal acts of the last years, not only since the several weeks' tour with Metal Queen Doro Pesch! With "Egomania" they deliver a more than impressive album via Dr. Music Records. Thematically perfectly fitting to the ongoing global political chaos, Fridays for Future and the current social media madness, it zeroes in on e.g. faceless fashion and beauty influencers without rhyme or reason with its eleven songs, skillfully packed in brilliant, majestic and catchy modern Melodic Metal anthems. The album has been produced and mixed by bandleader Danny Meyer in his Sunway Studios and refined in the mastering by Miro Rodenberg and Olaf Reitmeier of the Gate Studio (Avantasia, Kamelot, Epica). OVERSENSE has everything a young band needs. Besides great songs with catchy tunes, especially exceptional talent Jassy J. on guitar and singer as well as songwriter Danny Meyer with his unique voice stand out. With that certain something up his sleeve, he knows how to captivate both the Metal girls and party-hungry headbangers.

The story of OVERSENSE begins in 2012 when Danny Meyer and Patrick Lippert record their first songs together and make contact with Olaf Reitmeier. In the following years, the EP "Dreamcatcher" was released, followed by the successful album "The Storyteller". The following winter, Jassy J., whose YouTube channel JJ's One Girl Band now has more than 265.000 fans around the world, is confirmed as a permanent band member. OVERSENSE create a unique sound in the form of fat headbanger riffs, filigree solos and melodic anthems with the potential to make a huge impact on the international Metal scene.

The album is released in a noble 6 panel Digipak CD with 16 pages booklet.

Press Quotes

Singer Danny Meyer right on top of his game and YouTube sensation Jassy J on guitar, both riding a wave of confidence and star quality. They aren't afraid to share their music either - Herma Sick joins in on the single 'Be' (although 'Rave In Hell' would fit the bill perfectly) and Ulli Perhonen adds a touch of drama on the symphonic influenced duet 'Faith'. The theme continues into the big production number of the album, 'Love'; a bold choice for a single but one that ups the drama with its 'birth of a psychopath' lyric

     —Mike Ainscoe, Powerplay Magazine UK

I love the mix of heavy and melodic vocal. This track have a big potential and quality. The guitar riffs are INSANEEEEE and drums sound beautiful. Everything matches perfectly.

     —RockNBold.com

Nice mix between old school and more recent songwriting! I've especially enjoyed the very hard and speedy drums

     —Écoute Ça ! Podcast (FR)

A kind of junction of AOR rock with modern metal. The result is captivating [...] these songs have enough depth for us to pick them up in the future. The cover in conjunction with the title also demonstrate part of of that depth on a lyrical level. 8.5/10

     —WorldOfMetalMag.com

What the f*** I've just heard ??? You have awakened my old love for Melodic Metal ... great !!!!

     —RockZone

Well mixed, nice production, good songwriting, builds up nicely!

     —Hard'n'Heavy Playlists

Loved the vocal performance and instrumentation arrangement as well, it was very powerful. (5/5)

     —LazyFrenzy

Sounds great!

     —Anaconda Media

I would recommend 'Egomania' as it's just a great romp through many different Melodic Metal subgenres and it's clear the band are having so much fun on this record. 9/10

     —Mark Machlay, Metal-Temple.com

OVERSENSE propose avec son deuxième album 'Egomania' une approche toujours aussi soignée du metal moderne. [...] La voix de Danny Meyer est, quant à elle, très riche, avec un côté organique qui sert littéralement la musique. Une bonne surprise, donc! 4.5/6

     —Michael Guamé, Metallian (F)

The talent in here is formidable, from a bunch of musicians capable of depth, variety and a blisteringly time-tight delivery. One to watch for sure...

     —Ever-Metal.com (USA)

[...] the band makes sounds that could tear down a whole city. Edging on over-the-top, the switch-ups could leave me scattered completely, yet these talented musicians keep the focus tight enough with the rhythms that the song is more like a cynical dose

     —The-Independent-Voice.org (UK)

[...] An ambitious concept, tight songwriting and an uplifting freshness reminding of the early Edguy - the kids are alright! Recommended track: 'The Longing' with strong Kamelot vibes. 13/15

     —Legacy (DE) | TIPP

With 'Egomania' OVERSENSE have captured me directly. Danny's charismatic voice brings the mood of the individual songs convincingly and with goosebump feeling across. Good that the rest of the band and the whole record can also convince!

     —Powermetal.de

A fresh, varied and powerful opus!

     —Classic Rock(DE)

Hardline (DE): Stylistically, OVERSENSE offer Modern Melodic Metal at its best [...] variety is a big issue on 'Egomania'. On this record, the listener will search in vain for a filler, all songs know by partly anthemic choruses to convince.

     —Hardline (DE)

The album is a kind of roller coaster ride [...] Each song has its own catchy tune. OVERSENSE apparently do not let themselves bend and do their own thing. That's good and refreshing.

     —Rock It! Magazine (DE)

'Egomania' holds strong Melodic Metal ready, more versatile, and more thrilling than ever. Eleven tracks serve up fantastic songwriting [...] 'Egomania' manages to create a great mood while being thoughtful at the same time.

     —ORKUS (DE)

An unusual mix of different Metal worlds.

     —Metal Hammer (DE)

It is quite a successful development of the strong debut album. [...] One might criticize that OVERSENSE jump back and forth between the styles Hard Rock and Heavy/Power Metal. Also progressive elements can be found in some songs

     —Metal-Heads.de

OVERSENSE succeed with 'Egomania' not only as a balancing act but also in an all-around successful symbiosis of so many styles that one can hardly classify it. Therefore, I would simply like to say: This is how Modern Melodic Metal must sound like!

     —Silence-Magazin.de

OVERSENSE strike the right note and don't just focus on catchiness or targeting the charts. They manage to combine their own style with various elements of Metal and create something out of it that grooves and comes up with fat riffing. The feeling for so

     —Metalglory.com

'Egomania' is a Modern Metal album with all that implies. It's full of energy, tempo and variety, garnished with lots of great melodies and catchy choruses.

     —CallesRockCorner.dk

For OVERSENSE, this is a successful and well conceived album

     —HeavyMetalWebzine.it

The Germans successfully weave a multitude of influences into their catchy songs that shine thanks to clever musicianship, good sound and solid writing

     —MetalFan.nl

At their core beats a power-metal heart, [...] What separates them from the herd though are the styles they lay over the top. [...] Confident modern Power Metal.

     —Fireworks Magazine (UK)

Melding the best of European melodic/power metal with that modern/groove touch, has loads of crossover appeal in many subgenres, and the future looks bright indeed if these musicians keep quality output top of mind.

     —DeadRhetoric.com (USA)

The music in the album is also as amazing as the CD cover.

     —MetalAddicts.com (USA)

OVERSENSE displays an original identity and this variety serves the Germans well. Powerful and very catchy, the tracks follow each other in a beautiful harmony ('Toast To The Devil', 'The Longing', 'Tear Me Down').

     —RockNForce.com (F)

Modern, melodic metal in the intersection of Evergrey, Nocturnal Rites and Mystic Prophecy resounds from my speakers, and above all the variable, powerful voice of singer Danny Meyer towers.

     —Metal Factory (CH)

Oversense convince in melodic as well as modern metal garb and should get through the hard times excellently with the second ride Egomania. Lovingly, with foresight and a sense for possible hits

     —Time-For-Metal.de

Perfect sound, critical, topical lyrics, fantastic, majestic songs and an above-average, charismatic singer make 'Egomania' a brilliant, versatile disc without a single hang-up.

     —Obliveon.de

You can listen the album in a tour away without getting bored and also when you look up you enjoy the melodies, the vocals and the guitar sound.
