The Odious go 'Mono No Aware'

2019-05-21 by StarvingArtist | 6 Comments
Oregonian prog-metal stalwarts The Odious will soon be releasing their second full length album, titled 'Vesica Piscis,' completing their dense trilogy of inter-related works which began in 2011. Below is a statement from the band to the general media.

"We consider Vesica Piscis to be the final installment in a trilogy of related themes throughout the course of our discography. The subject matter of our trilogy tries to mirror the contradictions and dissonance that is prevalent in our existence. These ideas have mostly been organized as anthologies, with the varying concepts in each song covering things like cruelty, lust for violence, birth, decay, attraction, betrayal, etc. The Vesica Piscis itself is a historically ubiquitous symbol, appearing in ancient and contemporary contexts alike. Over the millennia, it has been utilized by many cultures/religions, putting its true significance into question. The universal yet ambiguous nature of this symbol resonated with us because it seems to perfectly embody the inconsistency that we reference in our trilogy."

The band has also premiered their new single, "物の哀れ (Mono No Aware)" via Heavyblogisheavy.com, sporting a haunting, surprisingly melodic theme.

FFO: The Faceless, The Contortionist, Between the Buried and Me, Intronaut




Release Date: June 21st.
