Overdrive

Hi

When somebody says that "the voice in the song is overdriven which suits this quite demented and psychotic delivery", does it mean that the singer sang it very loudly with great energy and commitment?

Without context, it is difficult to really understand what the writer intended to say. But, based on what you gave us, I think the writer is trying to say that the writer does not like the singer's voice (hence, the word overdriven), but such a voice was apt because the singer intended to sing the song in a "demented and psychotic" way. In other words, it is something like saying: "an evil song requires an evil voice"!
