I figured some of Tom's fans may be interested. :headbang:

ODIN'S COURT is happy to announce a very special guest vocalist: Tom Englund (EVERGREY)! Tom will be providing additional lead vocals on one of ODIN'S COURT's new songs called "Mammonific".

Matt had this to say about Tom: "I first heard EVERGREY when their album RECREATION DAY came out. I heard it once and was instantly hooked. They had a great balance of depth, song writing, and technicality, combined with an original sound. Tom's vocals struck me as something that stood out - a solid, technical singer who had a more middle range (something refreshing for their genre), and was also extremely unique and soulful. When I first approached Tom about doing a track, I expected he would be too busy since EVERGREY was recording a new album. However, Tom was super nice and very professional, and once an agreement was reached, he had me his part in less than a week! I look forward to people hearing what he brought to the table."

A previous announcement revealed that TONY KAKKO (best known for his work with SONATA ARCTICA) is appearing on the ODIN'S COURT song "Crownet".

To check out samples from "Crownet", "Mammonific", and other songs, go to the ODIN'S COURT homepageor MySpace.

ODIN'S COURT recently finished their new CD DEATHANITY, a concept album about the direction the human race is taking the planet. They are currently shopping the album to labels.

You can hear the full song "Volatilestial" from the upcoming album on ODIN'S COURT's MySpace.

You can hear the full song "Obesite" from the upcoming album on D2C STUDIOS' MySpace.

ODIN'S COURT will be performing live in Atlanta supporting CIRCLE II CIRCLE on their exclusive one-off show put on by PATHFINDER PROMOTIONS. Also in support are Eclipsed by Insanity and Halcyon Way. Tickets available here.

Rock on!

That's right, Odin's Court has signed to ProgRock Records!

Preorders for the new album Deathanity can be found here.

Original press release can be found here:
ODIN’S COURT IS SIGNED TO PROGROCK RECORDS AND RELEASES THE ALBUM "DEATHANITY"

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 25 April 2008 – Odin’s Court is a Maryland, USA band that was initially formed by Matt Brookins in 2001. For the first 2 years the band struggled to find their sound, playing covers and originals ranging from classic rock to modern metal and everything in between. Over the years they honed their sound and live show, opening for such notables as Symphony X, Spock’s Beard, King’s X, Kamelot, Enchant and more. They will be opening for Circa on May 2, 2008 in Springfield Virginia.

Deathanity displays why Odin’s Court is difficult to fit into a genre; ambience, dynamics, and soul are combined with complexity, groove, and energy in a song oriented structure, to create a unique, surreal landscape. Including a configuration similar to that of the classic Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon, Deathanity utilizes saxophone and backing female vocalists, and includes a palate scattered with spoken vocal clips and vast ranging sound effects. Special guest vocalists include Tom Englund (Evergrey) and Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica).

Matt Brookins had the following to say on becoming a ProgRock Records band: "Odin's Court has a rich history. We've done a lot of great shows, put out some CDs, put out a DVD, and had many exciting opportunities along the way. However, we've always had an important element that was missing, and that was the ability for distribution, marketing, and networking on a larger, global scale. Our latest album Deathanity is leaps and bounds above our previous work in terms of maturity, so the time was right to make that next jump, and we're very happy and pleased to be joining the ProgRock Records family. President Shawn Gordon is simply put, one of the most down to earth and humble people I've met in the industry. But don't let that fool you - he has business savvy to match, and I think we're all excited for Odin's Court to be unveiled upon the world!"

"I’d seen the name Odin’s Court floating around for a few years but didn’t have a chance to hear their material, but they sure seemed to be getting some big gigs, so it was a pleasant surprise when Matt contacted me and was interested in working with us. Matts a very talented and determined guy and exceptionally easy to work with, which is becoming a lot more important to me now than it use to, we’re really glad to have him and the boys on board.", Shawn Gordon, President of ProgRock Records said.

"Deathanity" is the ProgRock Records debut release from Odin’s Court and can be found here. An amazing sonic journey that you’re not going to want to miss. The album is available for immediate order and will ship in mid-May 2008 and be available at your favorite brick and mortar retailer on July 15, 2008. Presales are discounted $2 on the ProgRock Records site until the album starts shipping.

More on the album from the PRR website:
Deathanity is the latest effort from Odin’s Court, a Maryland, USA band. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by band architect Matt Brookins at D2C Studios between January 2007 and March 2008. Deathanity is an ambitious concept album dealing with the effects mankind’s actions are having on the planet. Alternate views are offered through the use of instrumentation, lyrics, sound effects, and various vocal clips. Ambience, dynamics, and soul are combined with complexity, groove, and energy in a song oriented structure, to create a unique, surreal landscape. Each song, dealing with a different theme, is accompanied by a newly created word and definition in the album art. Special guest vocalists include Tom Englund (Evergrey) and Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica). Other guests include Bill Green on tenor sax and Nicki Brookins, Elena Hall, and Suzanne Warner on backing vocals. Odin’s Court, comprised of Matt Brookins (Vocals, Guitars), John Abella (Drums, Percussion), Savino Palumbo (Keyboards), Craig Jackson (Bass), and Rick Pierpont (Guitar), draws from classic inspirations such as Pink Floyd, Boston, Queen, Rush, Metallica, Yes, and Journey as well as more modern bands such as Devin Townsend, Chroma Key, OSI, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, and Tool.
