In the last few years, a massive growth of new instrumental metal acts have flooded the scene, some obviously better than others. And some, like Spokane, Washington natives Odyssey, have pre-dated the current wave, while continuing to evolve and adapt into a force to be reckoned with. Which is why we've got the exclusive stream of their third full-length, Voids, coming at you today. Voids is an over 50 minute prog odyssey (potential pun intended?) that shreds, soars, grooves, and celestially infects you with all manner of wondrous feelings. While many bands are content to continue creating material within the vein of their pre-established sound, Odyssey have always eschewed that trend in favor of expanding their sound with each release.

Seeing as Voids is now their 6th release, it seems like they are hitting a new stride that is damn interesting to hear unfold! I could see this having appeal beyond just among instrumental metal devotees, mainly due to the sheer diversity of sounds and styles on display that shift frequently. So check out our full early stream below. If you like what you hear, you can order it at their bandcamp here. Odyssey-Voids officially comes out this Friday, February 5th.
