Terra Odium - "The Clouded Morning" (Single Edit)
And thickening clouds prevail
Hanging like curtains
All the horizon round
Or overhead in heavy
Stillness sail
So still is day,
It seems like night profound
Scarce by the city’s din
The air is stirred
And dull and deadened
Comes its every sound
The cock’s shrill,
Piercing voice subdued is heard
By the thick folds of muffling
Vapors drowned
Dissolved in mists
The hills and trees appear
Their outlines lost
And blended with the sky
And well-known objects,
That to all are near
No longer seem familiar to the eye
But with fantastic forms
They mock the sight
As when we grope amid
The gloom of night
Το 1985 σχηματίσθηκαν στην Νορβηγία οι Powerslaves. Τρία χρόνια αργότερα μετονομάσθηκαν σε Manitou. Progressive metal μπάντα, η οποία έμεινε ενεργή μέχρι το 1991 κι επανήλθαν προ δεκαετίας συνεχίζοντας μέχρι τις ημέρες μας.
Δύο από τα μέλη των Manitou δημιούργησαν τους Terra Odium. Τους αποκαλείς άνετα και super group του χώρου (prog metal), καθώς πέραν των δύο προαναφερθέντων μετέχουν επίσης ο (τιτάνας) Steve Di Giorgio, ο Jon Phipps (που έχει συνεργασθεί με μπάντες όπως οι Angra, Kreator, Moonspell, DragonForce, Amorphis κλπ) και ο Asgeir Mickelson (βλ. Spiral Architect, ex-Borknagar, ex-Ihsahn κλπ).
Το ντεμπούτο των Terra Odium τιτλοφορείται "Ne Plus Ultra" και θα κυκλοφορήσει στα μέσα του πρώτου καλοκαιρινού μήνα...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Progressive metallers Terra Odium have announced the release of their debut album, "Ne Plus Ultra" on June 11, 2021 via Frontiers Music Srl. Terra Odium is a new progressive metal band formed by well known musicians coming largely from the Norwegian metal scene.
The creative force of the band, singer/guitarist Øyvind Hægeland (Spiral Architect, ex-Arcturus, etc.) and guitarist Bollie Fredriksen, played together in Manitou, which released the progressive metal masterpiece “Entrance” back in 1995.
They joined with drummer Asgeir Mickelson (Veil Of Secrets, ex-Ihsahn, ex-Borknagar, etc.) whom with Hægeland is also a member of the technical metal band Spiral Architect, who has released one critically acclaimed album (2000) produced by Neil Kernon (Queensrÿche, Nevermore, etc.).
They then decided to invite none other than Steve Di Giorgio (Testament, Death, etc.) to complete the line-up. Jon Phipps (DragonForce, Moonspell, Angra, etc.) was also brought in to add orchestrations. As a special guest, Kjetil Nordhus from Tristania contributes deep operatic voices that heighten (or deepen, perhaps) the mood of the songs.
If you're a fan of the early years of bands like Fates Warning, Queensrÿche, King Diamond, Dream Theater and other progressive and technical metal bands, you will absolutely love this record which showcases Terra Odium's immense technical abilities mixed with heaviness and melodies.»
