[edit] Reformation
In 2006, the following was posted on their MySpace page and website regarding their reformation:
"...Overcast will be re-recording 10-14 classic tracks and 2 unreleased songs for a full length album entitled "Reborn To Kill Again", in May 2006. Adam Dutkiewicz has signed on as producer of this endeavor and we could not be happier. As far as a label - talks are still currently in negotiation (more as it comes). "
