FLIGHT OF ODIN w/Xyra:
Original . Powerful . Distinctive!

MOOD: Unexpected...cataclysmic. "Mesmerizing, eerie, and yet brightly stunning in their delivery. Virtuoso lead guitar swirls deep within labyrinths, and then flames upward, flying between lightning and eagles. Memorable, image-laden lyrics tell fantastic tales, and herald warnings, with vocal clarity, precision, and verve. Powerful, clever drum beats and basslines drive us past our prescribed comfort zones, following fascinating detours, twists, and turns."

Message:
Past all pomp and circumstance...beyond any quests for fame...the human species must rise to save ourselves and the planet... or ignore the opportunities and Grace allotted us, and fall.
