OVERTOUN have unveiled “Yūrei”, the second single taken from their upcoming third full-length album “Death Drive Anthropology”, due out on February 13th, 2026 via Time To Kill Records.


Musically, “Yūrei” sharpens the band’s death–thrash core with an unsettling melodic tension, where tightly wound riffs, dynamic rhythmic shifts, and subtle Latin and folk-inflected nuances converge into a focused and oppressive atmosphere.




The band comments:


"Inspired by Japanese folklore, the title refers to the yūrei , spirits trapped between worlds, a reflection of humanity’s eternal struggle with the shadow of death. This song also embodies our deepening bond with Japan, a connection that grew even stronger during our 2025 tour. This is another step into the ritual".


On “Death Drive Anthropology” OVERTOUN expand their fierce Chilean/American identity, channelling the death drive (Thanatos) into a relentless exploration of human rituals, mortality, and cultural collapse - a true Book of Death forged in sound.


Rooted in the primal force of ’90s death–thrash yet sharpened by a modern, incisive edge, the album fuses Latin rhythms, folk-tinged guitars, and razor-tight riffs, featuring standout guest performances by Max Phelps (CYNIC, DEATH TO ALL), Enrico H. Di Lorenzo (HIDEOUS DIVINITY) and Shantanu Vyas (HAZING OVER).


Produced by acclaimed Argentinian mastermind Martín Furia (DESTRUCTION, BARK), "Death Drive Anthropology" further cements OVERTOUN as one of the most compelling and forward-thinking forces emerging from the Latin American metal landscape.
