ODEUM DEUS 2 song review

    ODEUM DEUS lays it all on the table with two songs, "Black Coffee", and "Nothing". Both songs are available on Spotify. So as a rule we don't cover death metal here at the shop, but in this case we decided to indulge ourselves. Besides, these guys hail from Sweden so it has to be good. 
    First listen goes to the song "Black Coffee". I anticipated something else, so it wasn't too bad to tolerate. Typical death metal here except it borders on an almost melodic death metal feel. In the end even though I rarely drink black coffee, I find myself hitting replay on this one.
    "Nothing" is consistent with the style, although the guitar lead was impressive. Again, almost melodic for a death metal track. I suppose that is what the term "New Swedish Death Metal" refers to. Kind of like new Nordic cuisine. 
     If your a fan of death metal then this band is one to watch. They seem to have something elevated amongst the other death metal bands I have heard. Again, hailing from Sweden certainly helps. Their appears to be something in the water there, that creates great musicianship, and ODEUM DEUS is one of them.

LOVEBITES interview for CRY OF THE WOLF MAGAZINE Answered by miho, bass guitar player 1) Take us through the writing process I always write riffs first and make a basic demo, then start adding arrangement to complete a song. 2) Does everyone contribute Our guitarlist mi-ya and myself, along with another songwriter outside of the band usually write music/melody. Each of us brings own music to the table and each band member arrange their own part to complete the music. As for the lyrics, asami and myself write all of our songs. But each band member is a great song-writer, we are going to play other member’s songs as well in the near future. 3) What are the rehearsals like. Do you have set jam times When we start rehearsing for a tour/show, we first decide how much time we want to/can put into each song and concentrate on bettering the performance one by one. And we play from top to the bottom of our set list for a several times. 4) What makes the perf...

Arch / Matheos reveals details for new album, 'Winter Ethereal'; launches video for first single, "Straight and Narrow" In progressive metal circles, the names of guitarist Jim Matheos and vocalist John Arch are spoken with due reverence. With the former having been a driving force in Fates Warning for thirty-five years, and the latter the original front-man of that band, they also have a single seminal work under the Arch / Matheos banner, 2011's Sympathetic Resonance . In 2019, they have reunited to follow that record up with Winter Ethereal , a more stylistically varied and perhaps deeper collection that explores a lot of sonic territory over the course of nine immer...
