March 17, 2009: BOBBY LUCAS IS BACK IN OVERLORDE!
There are 2 Power Metal bands from the US called Overlorde…
1. OVERLORDE was formed in 1985 by John “Kong” Bunucci (Bass / & Lead Vocals) and Mark “M.E.” Edwards (Guitar & Backing Vocals). Dave Wrenn (Drums & Backing Vocals) joined shortly thereafter, and this “power metal” band played its first show at the SHOWPLACE in Dover, NJ that November.
At this time in central New Jersey, the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) was reaching a peak with bands such as IRON MAIDEN, SAXON , and DEF LEPPARD continuing their invasion from Britain. These and other bands, such as Germany’s SCORPIONS, ACCEPT , and America’s QUEENSRYCHE heavily influenced OVERLORDE. Additionally, the Old Bridge Metal Militia (local New Jersey metal fans) was thriving, Megaforce Records/ Rock and Roll Heaven had moved from their Route -1 Flea Market Store and Seton Hall’s WSOU-FM was about to switch to an all-metal format that would have a major impact on the popularity of metal. METALLICA, one of Megaforce Record’s first artists, was about to release Master of Puppets, so the form of “thrash metal” they made so popular was really just beginning.
The band concentrated on originals from the start, with John handling the Lead Vocals along with Bass guitar.
