GOTHAM O.D - BiographyGotham O.D is a Finnish modern versatile band that bases its music into very traditional rock values, with a twist of metal soundscapes.
During their eight-year career, the band has released three self-released EP:s and two albums via Off Records/Firebox. The albums are titled Monochromatic and Disbeliever.
Along with the debut album a video and a single were released, and the band has toured actively since then. The album was released also in Middle-Europe. Touring and performing live are definitely one of the bands strong points as they have done almost 200 shows in Finland, Baltic region, Middle-Europe and Asia. They are excellent live performers, and the shows bring out best their creativity, spontaneity and healthy Finnish craziness.
In the early 2011 the band has worked together with legendary producer, Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Apocalyptica, The 69Eyes, Poisonblack, to mention a few). New material is on it´s way to be released, and the band will again rise to a new level with their heavy but addictive and infectious songs. The tracks Escape to Salvation and In a Shell bring out once again new dimensions from the band as they echo with a totally new sound, though still keeping the functioning elements from the previous productions. The organ and keyboards are again in great part, though this time also the guitar is in pivotal role in making the songs unforgettable. The rhythm section fills their task with style and solid groove as they lay down the foundation for these hard rocking songs. The singer Ilkka seems to have taken the "last" step in his work, taking himself and his band to an international level. Hiilesmaa's significant contribution can definitely be heard, and the small gap that has maybe separated Gotham O.D from international success, is now undeniably been closed. The lyrics are also very skillfully made, personal and touching. This is not very surprising, since there are many skilled lyricists in the band.
Gotham O.D's whole discography brings out their versatility and talent that cannot be measured in money terms. They are a true heavy ROCK BAND in this age of superficiality, sterility and wanna-be rockers. The band creates and performs their music with their hearts, and they cannot be tied down to any certain genre.
The band members are seasoned musicians, who are aware of the trade´s current realities, also they are a easy to work with because of their flexibility and experience of music business. Gotham O.D is hungry and totally ready for a greater success they most definitely deserve. The ever growing audiences have noted that something's in the atmosphere around the band, since there seems to be a lot happening!
New material and yet more active touring will make Gotham O.D a very hot band, and the new songs will take the band to a new spheres in the radio waves also.
By no means should you try and categorize the band into a certain mould. All band members are individuals, but also good friends, and they share a very distinctive sense of humor. You can sense a sort of a cartoon character feel from these guys, and therefore, the band's gloomy path may very well lead them either straight to stardom or to Gotham Arkham Asylum.
