Recorded with live drums in Karachi in 1994, a year before Vital

Signs' released their classic masterpiece "Hum Tum", two

years before Junoon released their sufi rock "Inquilaab"

and ten years before Mizraab released their progressive metal

"Maazi Haal Mustqabil", "Anarchist Growl" by

Overdrive makes its remarkably long-awaited debut on 1 January

2005.

With an eclectic title that will strike fear into record-shop

managers the world over, their aggressive social and political

activism is refreshing, spewing just as much dark and disturbing

vitriol as their frontman. But it is also invigorating, rocking harder

and with more purpose than most albums showing the full scope

of the group's abilities and ambition.

Their venomous and immeadiately memorable debut single,

"Zameen", which became their signature track, was

groundbreaking enough when it was released in summer 1994

successfully merging the gothic guitar sounds of metal and urdu,

and many would argue that its importance and influence remains

unchallenged and unsurpassed to this day. With its relentlessly

rebellious rage of, "Is ko hum jala ke kar rahay hain khudkushi,

khudkhushi, khudkushi..." the song was a rallying cry of

frightening proportions and the unequivocal climax of their vision.

For a decade the visceral and creative energy of "Anarchist

Growl"
was ignored for it's working-class rebellion and

revolutionary lyrics by the ensuing self-imposed, politcally

correct, self-censorship of the pakistani record labels as well as

the local music press but gradually the searing passion and

sheer musicality of "Zameen" became a word-of-mouth cult

favourite sky-rocketing up the charts and online music

discussion forums. Overdrive's stature and historical importance

only grew in hindsight - the band finally realising that in their

hands is a potentially crucial stepping stone for the future

development of metal and rock in Pakistan. Only a handful of

rock and roll bands can genuinely claim to have changed the

music scene, and only one of those can claim to have done it

with such a tiny discography.

After two successful attempts: Faraz Anwar's

[url=http://www.mizraabianz.com] "Untitled"[/url] and

Karavan's [url=http://www.karavanonline.com] "Unplugged

and Unleashed"
[/url], "Anarchist Growl" will become the

third Pakistani rock album to see an internet only release.

Intelligent, aggressive and brutally honest, this is unimpeachably

one of the best hard-rock records ever made.

1. Expedition
2. Parallel Syndrome
