History
As teenagers in Östersund, Sweden, in the 80’s Håkan Mårtensson and Jonas Öhlund
played together in the bands REBELLION, BIRD OF PREY and GRIME CRIME. They were
inspired by NWOBHM and bands like Black Sabbath, Heavy Load, and Scorpions. GRIME
CRIME was featured on the compilation tape ROCK-DM 1986 with the song Struck by
lightning.
After the duo went their separate ways Håkan released a single with melodic AFTER
TWELVE in 1988. Jonas released a single in 1989 and a CD in 2008 with AOR band PRIDE.
His LINEHOUSE album, Take one, in 2009 was even more melodic.
Over the years Jonas had felt an urge to go back to the roots and play heavy metal again. In
2022 he recorded some of the old REBELLION songs and reached out to Håkan to see if he
was interested in doing the vocals. In 2023 eight songs, written between 1982 and 1985,
were recorded.
The album
In April 2024 Severe Overbite’s debut album was released on all streaming services by the
band themselves. “Living in poverty”, “Devil’s nest”, “Another world” and “The fight of the
knight” are REBELLION songs written in 1982-83. The BIRD OF PREY period 1983-84 are
featured through “Ritual of evil” and “Solar eclipse”. “Don’t turn away” were written in 1985 for
GRIME CRIME. “The Mountain” was a song that never got finished in the 80’s that Håkan
and Jonas completed in 2023.
New song
After the album’s release the band began working on new material that were recorded
during the autumn of 2024. Instead of working on a full length album it was decided
that two singles were to be released during the first half of 2025.
With the song ” Roll With The Punches” the band continues on the beaten track with
songs inspired by NWOBHM filled with heavy riffs, twin guitars and catchy choruses.
Release date:
Roll With The Punches, 21.04 on all streaming services.
Digital-only release.
Band members:
Håkan Mårtensson- vocals
Jonas Öhlund- guitar, bass and keyboard.

Why does humanity treat each other the way they do? That is the overriding theme
of Fifteen Stitches’ new album ‘Beyond The Wall’
The second release by the Washington South Sound band, after their 2018 EP ‘The
Void’, delves deeper into the human condition with heavy hitting music, thought provoking lyrics and
a freshly energized lineup. It was released in December 2024.
Tim Perdue (vocals), Chris Pasinetti (guitar), Rob Field (bass) and drummer James Ortega weave a
powerful sound ranging from pummeling rock to more atmospheric songs. The lyrics of singer Tim
Perdue both examine humanity and give hope that we could be better to each other — if only we can
find a way out of the chaos born of those in power.
The lifeblood of the Pacific Northwest music scene flows through the band with a wide array of
influences from heavy rock, prog, glam, and grunge to the birth of rock itself.
Rob Field comes from the band Cries of Tammuz, a popular goth band with progressive elements
from England, and local band Painted Window who performed in the northwest during the early
2000’s.
Chris Pasinetti has played guitar in many local bands: Nothing Sounds Good, Dem Zaing, and hillbilly
punk band SixGun.
Notably, drummer James Oretega performed with Don Wilson of surf rock and garage band legends
The Ventures.
Tim Perdue currently sings for Fifteen Stitches and Tremor Cats.

debut EP with “Vulture’s Eye” lyric video
Just north of Detroit, Michigan, a band was born out of the desire to summon the old school metal.
Mark Chandler and Zach Bolling, friends since their teens, make up the entirety of Ancient Chaos. The
music draws heavy influence from traditional heavy metal from the ’70s and ’80s with modern
production values, guitar harmonies, melodic vocals, and a fresh take on the current metal realm.
Anything more? Well, they are the rhythm section of the highly acclaimed band The Native Howl,
the inventors of thrash grass genre, merging bluegrass and thrash metal.

In a shared musical past, the idea of creating a new musical project together had already
been present in the minds of Jochen and David. Flirting with an high amount of
heavy/thrash metal with an old school catchy and melodic touch to complete the
package.The seed was planted but due to daily concernsof the recruited members the
project never found it’s liftoff.
Despite Jochen’s active involvement with ENCHANTRESS and David’s commitment to
SHOCKER, a lingering desire to embark on something new persisted.In 2023 Jochen and
David decided to start the creative process, unwilling to let the musical ideas fade away,
theytook matters into their own hands. David, armed with his guitar and bass, recorded the
instrumental components in his home studio. Utilizing contemporary technology, he
seamlessly integrated supportive drumbeats with the riffs, creating a foundation that would
later be pieced together into a cohesive arrangement with Jochen.
During one of their many collaborative sessions, Jochen added vocals to the existing riffs,
gradually transforming them into fully-fledged songs. This process unfolded several times
until they found themselves with a collection of completed songs, prompting the inevitable
question: “What do we do with this?”
They decided to have the songs mixed/mastered and released under the musical project
name “NEUROBLADE” naming the EP “Desert Claw” In summary, this is the genesis of
“NEUROBLADE” and where they currently stand. The EP is going to be release on the May
2 nd , 2025
