Description/Review

Like I mentioned, Oddland plays progressive metal, and their sound is one of heaviness.  Hard-hitting riffs seem to be their specialty, and they always have this sublime quirkiness present, too.  “Origin”, however, is a slightly different beast compared to their debut.  This is a very dark, very heavy album; almost shockingly heavy at times.  It is again focused on heavy guitars, but the atmosphere is less quirky and more blackened.  It’s very, very dark.  Did I mention it’s heavy?  Additionally, you will find some wonderful piano here and there through the album, and it really adds to the heaviness because it is so fragile and beautiful.
