The Muddy Mountain Overthrust on the outskirts of Valley Of Fire State Park In Nevada.

The overthrust is comprised of the dark overturned almost vertical Bonanza King Formation (500 million years old, Paleozoic) capped by the Rainbow Gardens Member of the Horse Spring Formation (not visible in this photo) which was placed in the Neogene age 20 million years ago.

When Cultural Exchange Turns Into Music

Music is communication. And sometimes it´s a petrification of friendships. One year after the death metal band Overthrust toured in Europe with the support of Kampnagel Theater Hamburg, the initiator Marcel Bisevic as well as the musicians Manuel Schaub from the black metal band Ultha and Sascha Brosamer visited Southern Africa and the band in Botswana. The result is a limited split 7“ that was just released on the label Ecocentric Records: Botswana's renowned deathmetal-outfit Overthrust are providing two raw songs of their early record.

Katutura is the sonic manifestation of a journey through Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. When Sascha Brosamer and Manuel Schaub met Namibian punk artist and queer activist Vilho Nuumbala, they had a recording session which led to the soundcollage on the flipside of this record. This single is an attempt to forge this cultural exchange into music.

“Overthrust: Botschafter des afrikanischen Metal”

Im Sommer 2016 tourte die botswanische Death Metal-Band Overthrust auf Einladung des Hamburger Kampnagel Theaters durch Deutschland. Höhepunkte waren das Konzert auf dem Internationalen Sommerfestival und dem legendären Wacken Festival. Ihr Status als wohl einzige, in Deutschland tourende Band des afrikanischen Kontinents, hat ein starkes Medien-Echo ausgelöst. Neben Musikmagazinen wie Metal Hammer, Rock Hard oder Norient hat auch die Hamburger Morgenpost oder die Deutsche Welle berichtet. Das offenbarte auch die Ambivalenz, mit der Musikern begegnet wird, die aus für ihr Genre eher ungewöhnliche Orten stammen. Die Rezeption schwankte zwischen Musikfaszination und Exotismus.
