Odin’s Court – Turtles All The Way Down

Odin’s Court – Turtles All The Way Down

Releasedate:
By: Sabine van Gameren


American band Odin’s Court makes Progressive Rock/Metal. This year the band is ready to release their fifth album called: “Turtles All The Way Down”.

Previously the band had to do without the vocals of Dimetrius Lafavors, but with the addition of him to their band they have added another dimension to their sound. This becomes noticeable right away, for the guys have the tendency to have long instrumental parts within their sound as the album is now, but when the vocals come in it changes the vibe of it. Makes it more open and where first it would be the pure Proggist liking their sound they now open up themselves for a bit wider audience. Yet sometimes his addition could be a bit more prominent. Will the band find a way to bring in the balance a bit more without the fear of domination taking it over?
The album is split in three different parts that come together quite nicely. You could listen to the album without having the theme in mind too much, but for best experience you listen the album as a whole.
Looking at it, the band has a release with enough variety to keep you listening. Some point could still be polished but overall this release is splendid.
