The 12-member South Korean, Canadian and Chinese boy band EXO has built an army of rabidly devoted followers with their darkly theatrical take on synth-heavy pop and having the gothic image to match.
With chart-topping singles like "Wolf" and "Growl" the group, comprised of the sub-units Exo-K and Exo-M, has earned their spot at the top of the K-pop scene.

On the new single "Overdose," EXO has taken their powerful sound to the next level; delivering a highly infectious single that really goes places.
From the first time you hear "Overdose" it immediately sticks in your head, with a melody hook in the chorus that is pure, anthemic pop bliss.
Whether or not you speak Korean, after a few listens you'll be shouting along with the chorus and looking for the replay button when the song is over.
Beyond all of the elaborately choreographed dance moves, gothic imagery and elaborate stage show lurks a group with tremendous talent. The 12 members of EXO have risen above the demands of international stardom and continued to step up their game as performers.
The producers and songwriters on "Overdose," perhaps responding to the group's runaway success with more sinister sounding singles like "Wolf" seem to be making no attempt to dress the music up as innocent teen pop. Rather, EXO continues to push the Hallyu sound into increasingly shadowy territory.
"Overdose" has as raw and as real a sound as anything on the K-pop charts today.
