Overloaded by King Piece
In 2018, South Jersey rockers King Piece released “Overloaded,” an album of original hard rock and heavy metal songs, which is odd considering that the trio initially formed to become an atypical cover band. Bassist/lead vocalist Michael Chant, guitarist/vocalist Nick Matteo and drummer/backing vocalist Bruce Diller first came together to play sets outside of the same 30 songs every cover band performs, and did just that in small local venues for a couple years. Then the band wanted to know what a King Piece album would sound like, so they dropped learning covers for learning how to write songs with each other and how to record them. The end result – “Overloaded” – seesaws between rock (“Break a Leg”; “Such a Fool”) and heavy metal (“There’s a Devil”; “Things I Think”), with some dips into strange, fun places (“Thousand-Yard Stare”; “Overcome”).
