Description/Reviews:
The title track is where we see the next twist to Vokonis‘ sound, as a Hammond organ swirls and churns into being. Per Wiberg (Spiritual Beggars, Kamchatka, ex-Opeth) is the honored guest on Odyssey, contributing impeccable organ and Mellotron arrangements on four songs. His presence lends the songs an air of majestic 70s prog that fits the expanded songwriting perfectly. Tempo changes allow the band to intersperse contemplative, slower moments with hard-hitting riff-centric driving passages. This is highly effective on closing numbers “Hollow Waters” and “Through the Depths,” which add up to nearly twenty-one minutes of heavy progressive rock that is catchier than it has any right to be. These songs have a hint of melancholy about them at times, but the arrangements are such that we are drawn into each song as if under a spell.Read the full review at angrymetalguy.com
