New Album “Remade In Steel” Out
March 2023
Hailing from British
Columbia’s Okanagan Valley in Canada, Odinfist
are well known around the country for their distinctive brand of traditional
heavy metal that is wrapped up in a fun-loving and energetic package. They’ve
been around for 16 years, and have an impressive discography under their belts.
Their latest addition to this is “Remade
in Steel”, six pummeling tracks that lay on heavy riffs, fun
choruses, and enough variance to get anyone excited about what is coming next.
The third single is “Deadline”
- this is the Metallica song, it is also the Megadeth song. It goes from doomy
to thrashy, with lots of chromatic riffages. The lyrics are about trying to
survive under pressure, crushing anxiety, and running out of time. The band
comments:
“This is the last song that we wrote for the album, and it came
together rather quickly. There are a lot of twists and turns in this song. It builds
from a doomy intro to a groovy verse and chorus and then explodes into a
frantic, thrashing ending. Both the lyrics and music have a darker vibe and
tone to them. The vocals get pretty unhinged and “crazy” on this song.”
According to the band, their music
has become more melodic and complex over the years. They’ve been pushing the
confines of traditional metal, by incorporating other subgenres. They had been
doing the whole traditional metal thing for about 10 years before it really got
cool again. "Back then,
the only thing like that really going on was 3 Inches of Blood".
Now they are stoked there is way more new traditional metal to also draw
influence from.
Each song on “Remade in Steel”
offers a unique musical experience, where you don’t always know what’s going to
come next in a song or a track. The end result is a complete album that has a
little bit for everyone, and a sense of completion at the very end. They are
recommended for fans of Eternal Champion, Cauldron, and Anvil.
