About this user

Odyssey is a progressive metal band from Lahore that attempts to breach the boundaries of Pakistani music with an eclectic mix of aggression, melody and memorable songwriting.

The band was formed in February 2008 by Hussam Raza, Waqas Ahmed and Omar Sohail because of a common interest in making progressive music. The name 'Odyssey' was chosen because it signified a long musical journey that the band felt like it was embarking on. Odyssey is also the name of a very famous poem based on Greek mythology, which are elements that can be found in Odyssey's original music as well.

After trying out a couple of vocalists, the band was introduced to Raja Nabeel Banwa who was a big fan of progressive music as well. As it turns out, he could play keyboards too, so after meeting up with him, the band chose him as their vocalist and keyboard player. The band also recruited Fawad Nadir for playing bass for them at live gigs, and thus Odyssey was complete.

Odyssey started working on their album and released two rough demos for the public as well as a heavy metal version of a famous Pakistani pop song called 'Hawa Hawa' (originally by Hassan Jehangir)

Since then the band has played at numerous concerts in their home town of Lahore as well as given interviews for webzines, magazines and a radio performance which has built up a strong fanbase for the band.

Odyssey's music is inspired by bands like Dream Theater, Symphony X, Metallica, Megadeth, Savatage, Ark, Opeth and Liquid Tension Experiment amongst others. From intricate, progressive riffs and screaming solos to soaring melodies and atmospheric keyboards, the band spent most of 2009 focused on creating and recording a progressive metal masterpiece.
