“Mythodea new songs coming soon!
Greece based Mythodea announces new songs to be released in 2023! Follow up material to the 2012 self-titled album to start with February 8 release of first single. Into The Abyss – the title of the first single, will feature the immense vocal talents of vocalist/bassist Ida Haukland from the Norwegian band Triosphere.
Christos Nikolaou, the group’s founder and composer returns with a fresh new sound and concise arrangements. Maintaining the orchestral integration in the epic symphonic style metal that was established on the previous release, each new song delivers a unique experience with a new vocal flare.

Mythodea is rejoined by American bassist, Steve Di Giorgio, who is also contributing as lyricist to these new compositions. Completing the lineup is the powerful Stefanos Meletiou of Cyprus on drums. The sound is made clear and powerful by the mixing and mastering of Matias Kupiainen of Finland’s Stratovarius. Each release has a unique conceptual art piece made by Gogo Melone.
Into The Abyss will also be released as a music video the same day as the audio single – 8th of February 2023… Set your reminders..!!”

About:

Capturing the classic Thrash sound of the Big Four in their prime; early Metallica, Testament, Slayer, and Megadeth as well as lesser known cult heroes Exodus, Annihilator, Forbidden and Havok. FALLEN ANGELS is influenced by a wide range of 80’s thrash as well as classic metal from the 70’s and 80’s. The band combines these elements in a fresh, modern sounding album with the explosive riffs and solos that one might have expected to hear on the radio around 1989. FALLEN ANGELS is a band that Thrash fans and more classic Metal oriented fans can agree on because the music is catchy but also very aggressive.

CHASTAIN “All Hail The King” Lyric Video Is: Metal Odyssey’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on January 6, 2016 by Metal Odyssey

Chastain - promo band pic - 2015 - #MO33ILMF99ILMD9339

CHASTAIN – The legendary guitarist David T. Chastain returned in 2015, once again, with his eminent band CHASTAIN; delivering a new studio album of splendid Heavy Metal: We Bleed Metal. This album should be a training manual for those up and coming Heavy Metal bands that want to make their mark upon us veterans of real Heavy Metal. I am not freaking kidding.

David T. Chastain is (of course) astounding on We Bleed Metal, with vocalist Leather Leone delivering one of her most memorable of performances amongst her exalted Metal career. Drummer Stian Kristoffersen and bassist Mike Skimmerhorn are the super rhythm section, once again for CHASTAIN.

“All Hail The King” is one track from We Bleed Metal that I am proud to feature as Metal Odyssey’s METAL Pick Of The Day! Crank ‘er up all you Metal mutha’s and be grateful CHASTAIN exists. Metal Be Thy Name. – Stone

Metal Odyssey’s Top 10 Hard Rock And Metal Albums Of 2015!

Posted in classic rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on December 31, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Stone - Scott Coverdale - Top 10 Albums Of 2015 - promo banner - 2015 - #MO33MDILFNSMSTO

Stone Says:

2015 was a very enjoyable year for me, when it came to Metal and Hard Rock releases. On a personal note, 2015 was one of my saddest years, due to the passing of my Father this December and then Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead left us. May they both rest in peace. Once again, I’ve told myself to cherish life and the music that brings us together. I hope you all will share my sentiment.

On an upbeat note, I did compile my list of Top 10 Hard Rock And Metal Albums Of 2015. My Metal Brother and Metal Odyssey’s staff researcher Scott Coverdale also has compiled his Top 10 Of 2015 as well, on this same post! Whoa! My love for Classic Rock is shown on my Top 10 list with Europe and FM; both bands released what probably are their finest albums ever, in my opinion. My #1 is Enforcer From Beyond, a Metal album I consider to be beyond incredible!

My Top 10 list would never be complete without the entries of Venom and Motörhead; both bands released freaking killer albums this past year and I’ll forever recommend them both! Please check out Iron Kingdom and Fallen Angels when you can, both of these underground Metal bands deserve ALL the praise I can possibly give them and they are in my Top 10! Thank you for visiting Metal Odyssey, Happy Metal New Year and Metal Be Thy Name. – Stone

Scott Coverdale Says:

This past year happened to be one of the best years in music for me in decades. Many of my favorite bands that were cranked-up on my car stereo back in 1986 were once again being cranked-up in 2015. With the likes of Whitesnake, Def Leppard, and Iron Maiden releasing great studio albums this year, it was really difficult coming up with my Top 10 for this year. Before I list my Top 2015 Albums Of The Year, I would like to shout out a huge THANK YOU to one of the Greatest Bands of all time… MÖTLEY CRÜE.

I was lucky enough to see THE CRÜE this past summer for the last time, on their Farewell Tour. It was kind of a bitter-sweet night for me, at this concert. On the one hand I was having a great time taking in the show with my high school buddies, just like we did at the “Theatre Of Pain” concert back in the day, while at the same time saying Good bye to one of my all-time favorite bands wasn’t easy. Thank You!!! – Scott Coverdale

Crusty Death Metal Monsters RAVENS CREED With Members Of CEREBRAL FIX, SABBAT And ORANGE GOBLIN

Posted in Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on December 24, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Ravens Creed - Ravens Krieg - promo album cover pic - 2015 - #MO33499MDF

RAVENS CREED (UK) – ‘Ravens Krieg’

Genre – Crusty Death Metal

Release Date – October 1st, 2015

Record Label – Xtreem Music

Shit, this is good. Xtreem Music is at it again. Crusty Death Metal the way you like it. Formed originally by members of Cerebral Fix, Sabbat, Orange Goblin among others, Ravens Creed from the UK are whipping up a concoction of crusty Death Metal that’s hard to come by these days.

There’s the classic vibe channelled through the glass shards-encrusted and Thrash Metal-spiked Death Metal music that’s just extremely virulent and nasty in its final output. This here is an abrasive mass of Crust/Death/Thrash music that destroys any structure standing. The heaviness is palpable while the unique tone will make your skin peel backwards. This is the second and most potent full length of the band yet and it will rip your face right off and scrub what’s left with acid.

Tolkien-Based Death Metallers KHAZADDUM Release “In Dwarven Halls” – EP Streaming

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on December 21, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Khazaddum - promo band pic - #MO3309933 - 2015

J.R. Tolkien-based Death Metallers KHAZADDUM have released the In Dwarven Halls EP.  Stream the EP in its entirety at: https://khazaddumband.bandcamp.com/

Check out the official video for EP cut “Thorin Oakenshield” at this location or below:

Established in Milwaukee, WI in 2014, the band’s goal was to create music that captured the epic feel and scope of storytelling comprising the immense Tolkien mythology. Drawing influences from Death Metal greats such as NILE, MORBID ANGEL, and BEHEMOTH,  KHAZADDUM carries on the tradition of both a technical and melodic approach in their music.

Featuring guitarist Alex Rausa (ex-Devolving Messiah), drummer Pete Kissane (Burial Ritual), vocalist Luka Djordjevic (ex- Promethean Parallax /ex- Carnal Befoulment) , and bassist Tony Cannizzaro (ex- Splattered Cadavre/ ex- Demented Tourment), KHAZADDUM absolutely shine on the EP’s three stellar tracks.

Khazaddum - In Dwarven Halls - EP - promo cover pic - 2015 - #MO033033

Track Listing:

  1. The Grey Thus Commands
  2. Durin’s Bane
  3. Thorin Oakenshield

The In Dwarven Halls EP was recorded at Bell City Sound by Chris Wisco (ex- Jungle Rot) in late 2014. Originally started as a recording project, KHAZADDUM finally decided to become a full-time live band in 2015 and released this beast of an EP.

NWOBHM Trail Blazers SAVAGE Release Double Studio/Live Album ‘7’

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on December 10, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Savage - promo band pic - 2015 - #MO33S33

NWOBHM trailblazers SAVAGE have released a new studio album 7 on Minus 2 Zebra. Included with the double-album is a live performance disc titled Live N Lethal. 7 features 12 blistering new tracks, which mix old with new. Many of the tracks are fast paced and hark back to the early days whilst tracks such as “Superspy’ and Empire Of Hate’ sound akin to something off a modern OZZY album or even METALLICA at their best!

Savage - 7 - promo cover pic - 2015 - #MO333033963

Live N Lethal features 13 live tracks. Included is the entirety of classic 1983 debut album Loose N Lethal, which is given a fresh treatment in the form of a recently recorded gig in the band’s hometown of Mansfield (UK). The Loose n Lethal album is delivered at a furious pace, along with a few choice tracks from the band’s back catalogue.

SAVAGE, once credited for influencing METALLICA to play fast, the band has a strong history starting out in the 80s. Even though the band has often been linked to the NWOBHM movement, their roots are more in the vintage Classic Rock with a modern feel. Influences such as THIN LIZZY and DEEP PURPLE abound and yet with new material they sound incredibly contemporary and fresh. Their debut album, Loose n Lethal became a classic and was the biggest selling independent import in to USA in its day. The band have had a stop-start career but came back with a vengeance in 2012 with the epic Sons Of Malice. The band has been busy ever since on the live scene in the UK and Europe and most recently an Italian tour earlier this summer.

Mexican Metal Band BLOODLASH To Release “Rain” EP, Music Video “Godsbreath” Out Now!

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , on December 4, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

BLOODLASH - promo band collage pic - 2015 - #MO33NSSM994

Bloodlash was founded in late 2011. Formed in Morelia, México when the rule of thumb leaned towards thoughtless violence, and dedication and creativity marked the exception, Bloodlash began as an act of rebellion within that context. While Bloodlash’s music displays aggression, they try their hardest to make it a force for creation and to build awareness rather than for the mere purpose of aimless destruction.

One could describe Bloodlash as Progressive Post-Metal, but the label hardly does justice to the experiment. Their directive is to always challenge themselves as musicians and artists, trying to make well-crafted music that feels fresh. Playing in-your-face energetic live shows, the plan is to challenge indifference and inspire others in the same way that the bands and idols they grew up with inspired them.

Bloodlash - Rain EP - promo cover pic - 2015 - #MOSSMN33859333

Bloodlash feeds from the influence of bands like The Ocean, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Karnivool, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Opeth, Dog Fashion Disco, Intronaut, Ghost, Children of Bodom and various Soundtracks. Having received encouraging reviews from media outlets such as MetalSucks regarding the future of Bloodlash, and receiving comparisons to Between the Buried and Me, they have all the fire within and the dedication to their craft to get far.

Bloodlash continues cooperation with a Finnish label Inverse Records, having successfully released their debut EP “Drowning Amidst The Nebulae” in 2014. Rain EP is released digitally December 21st 2015. 

A brand new music video “Godsbreath” is available at this location: https://youtu.be/0__LIdOOaMM or below:

Metal Odyssey’s METAL Pick Of The Day Is: DISARMONIA MUNDI “Stormghost”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on December 2, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Disarmonia Mundi - Cold Inferno - promo album cover pic - 2015 - #0610DMMOSR

DISARMONIA MUNDI – Italy’s DISARMONIA MUNDI made a triumphant return in 2015, in my Metal opinion, with their new studio album: Cold Inferno. This has been an album that I’ve turned to more than I had anticipated this past year and will happily admit, Cold Inferno has become a mainstay in my Metal listening cycle.

I love the way DISARMONIA MUNDI unites the melodic and extreme together, rather flawlessly I’ll add. Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Ettore Rigotti is a Metal mastermind, in my Metal opinion. Lyricist and extreme vocalist Claudio Ravinale can take a bow for this grand album as well. Metal Be Thy Name. – Stone

Cold Inferno was released back on June 9th, via Italy’s Coroner Records. Listen to Stormghost below and hopefully you’ll dig it as much as I do. Whoa!

Metal Odyssey’s METAL Pick Of The Day Is: SYMPHONY X “Nevermore” (Official Lyric Video)

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , on November 28, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Symphony X - Underworld - promo album cover pic - 2015 - #06193333

SYMPHONY X – On July 24th of this year, New Jersey’s Progressive Metal giants, SYMPHONY X, released their 9th studio album, via Nuclear Blast: Underworld. What a treat this album has been for my inner, middle and outer ears! Did I say outer ears? I am getting ahead of myself, I guess. Russell Allen is just boss on vocals; I needed to get that in.

I absolutely love the way SYMPHONY X meticulously piece together the song and an outstanding example of this, from Underworld, is their musical creation: Nevermore. Below is the lyric video of Nevermore for you to hear and read along to. SYMPHONY X are at the pinnacle of their Progressive Metal game with both this song and their entire Underworld album for that matter, in my Metal opinion. Simply fabulous stuff. Metal Be Thy Name. – Stone

Metal Odyssey’s METAL Pick Of The Day Is: BATTLECROSS “Not Your Slave” (Official Video)

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , on November 27, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Battlecross - Rise To Power - promo album cover pic - 2015 - #0528MOBC

BATTLECROSS – In essence, I could very well state that the entire Rise To Power studio album from BATTLECROSS is Metal Odyssey’s METAL Pick Of The Day. With ten songs of Thrash Metal splendor, Rise To Power is a megastar Metal release for 2015, in my Metal opinion. Track number 2 from this album, Not Your Slave, is the song featured here today and it’s a strong example of just how Rise To Power plays out.

BATTLECROSS is a Midwest Thrash Metal band that the state of Michigan should be extremely proud of. I am ecstatic that BATTLECROSS has grabbed the torch of Thrash Metal, helping to secure the genre for many years to come. Rise To Power is the third studio album for BATTLECROSS on the Metal Blade Records label. In the event you haven’t checked out this band, you darn well should.

Listen below and hear for yourself! I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. Metal Be Thy Name. – Stone

Metal Odyssey’s METAL Pick Of The Day Is: FALLEN ANGELS “Nightmare” (Lyric Video)

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music with tags , , , , on November 24, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Fallen Angels - World In Decay - promo album cover pic - 2015

FALLEN ANGELS – Seattle Washington’s FALLEN ANGELS have taken me by incredible surprise this year, with their enormously grand album of Thrash Metal glory titled: World In Decay. As an older Thrashaholic like myself, I feel reassured that old school Thrash Metal will live on, due to the likes of FALLEN ANGELS. What a thrill this album is from these fine Thrashers! Holy shit it’s really good.

Track #2 on World In Decay is Nightmare (listen below). While listening to Brad “Bradzilla” Kennaugh on vocals, he takes me back to a time when Thrash on vinyl was freaking king. Erik Hanson and Matt Be Roth are the guitar duo that blazes through this song below, like hell’s wildfire out of control! Bassist Carl Larsson and drummer Steve Spitzbart kick ass. How’s that for being plain-speaking? Whoa.

Look for World In Decay to make a STRONG showing in my year-end list of Best Metal Albums of 2015. Metal Be Thy Name. – Stone

Metal Odyssey’s METAL Pick Of The Day Is: ARMORED SAINT “Win Hands Down” (Official Video)

Posted in Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, rock music with tags , , , , on November 23, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Armored Saint - Win Hands Down - promo album cover pic - 2015 - #ASMO05313

ARMORED SAINT – From The City Of Angels came one of the greatest Classic Metal bands of our time (IMO) and I’m talking about ARMORED SAINT. This band of Metal warriors returned in 2015 with their seventh full-length studio album, via Metal Blade Records: Win Hands Down. This album is a winner, loaded with nine fabulous songs to satisfy us die-hard old schoolers of Metal.

Win Hands Down was produced by ARMORED SAINT bassist Joey Vera and is an enormous follow-up to 2010’s La Raza studio album, in my Metal opinion. John Bush sings in his awesome and unique fashion on this album; you can hear for yourself in the music video below. I don’t know what it is, yet the vocals of John Bush resonates splendid Metal vibes throughout my Metal brain and veins. It’s always been that way. Cool.

The entire band is on freaking fire throughout Win Hands Down. Guitarists Phil Sandoval and Jeff Duncan are a superb duo to take in. The rhythm section of Joey Vera on bass and Gonzo Sandoval on drums are a pounding potion of ear euphoria for me! The bridge in the song Win Hands Down is something else too; very different as you’ll hear. Whoa. Yeah, I dig ARMORED SAINT and hopefully you’ll dig their music video for the title track of their album: Win Hands Down. Metal Be Thy Name. – Stone

Stream The New REX SHACHATH Record In Full Here!

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on November 20, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Rex Shachath - promo band pic - 2015 - #03033MMMSS

Today Northern Irish Death Metallers Rex Shachath release their latest offering, Revocation Of The Blood Elect, via French label Great Dane Records, and to mark the occasion are streaming the EP in full right here!

https://rexshachath1.bandcamp.com/album/revocation-of-the-blood-elect

Tackling social issues such as the state of modern society and man’s exorbitant desire for wealth at the expense of our natural world, the band have harnessed a sound more befitting to such issues in comparison to their debut release Sepulchral Torment. Old school ideals kneaded with modern Death Metal notions on a much more up to date and punchier production is what we have here.

Rex Shachath- Revocation Of The Blood Elect - promo album cover - 2015 - #33003MMNSS24

Artwork (as seen above), was completed by UK artist Godmachine famed for his work with bands such as Suicide Silence, Bring Me The Horizon, Cannibal Corpse and Job For A Cowboy (to name a few). The EP was recorded, mixed and mastered by Joe Thompson at Sonic Forge Studio, Cardiff, Wales.

Check out the video for title track ‘Revocation Of The Blood Elect’!

Track Listing:

  1. Atonement Through Atrocity
  2. Impious Axiom
  3. Revocation Of The Blood Elect

  5. Colossus Rise

What the press have said:

“Death metal with venomous attitude!” – The Metal Gods Meltdown

“…punishing rhythms and atmospheric leads…” – Ave Noctum

“Rex Shachath have harnessed musical prowess with the type of agitatory lyrics and attitudes many could learn from.” – Belfast Metalheads

“Rex Shachath are a thoroughly locked in unit. Armed with an arsenal of killer ideas and riffs, displaying at times some Dying Fetus and Suffocation like groove.” – Inside The Coffin

“This is pure, angry metal.” – Glacially Musical

An Ocean Of Void - promo band pic - 2015 - #99333MOFNMMS

An Ocean of Void is a five-piece from Bordeaux, France. It is a project that plays hard-to-classify heavy music with plenty of contrasts since 2010. Its inspiration goes from different scenes as Post-Rock, Atmospheric Metal or Progressive Metal, with a Pink Floyd influence clearly established.

After a self-produced demo (2012), the band’s debut album ‘The Great Escape’ will see the light the 4th of December, through Inverse Records. With melancholic nuances and latent sadness, ‘The Great Escape’ is a perfect soundtrack for dark winter days, a real journey through feelings and emotions.
