Terra Odium is a new progressive metal act comprised primarily of well known musicians from the Norwegian metal scene. The creative force of the band is vocalist/guitarist Øyvind Hægeland (Spiral Architect, ex-Arcturus) and guitarist Bollie Fredriksen, who previously played together in Manitou and released the prog metal masterpiece ‘Entrance’ in the mid ’90s. In Terra Odium, they are joined by drummer Asgeir Mickelson (Spiral Architect, Veil Of Secrets, ex-Ihsahn, ex-Borknagar), the well-known bassist Steve Di Giorgio (Testament, Death) and Jon Phipps (Dragonforce, Moonspell, Angra) who adds orchestrations and synthesizers. Special guest Kjetil Nordhus (Tristania) also contributes deep operatic voices that heighten (or perhaps deepen) the mood of the songs.

Explaining the musical approach that can be heard on their forthcoming debut album, ‘Ne Plus Ultra’, Hægeland explains that “As the progressive music scene has changed over time with more keyboards, classical influences, etc, we wanted to go back to the old ways which focused more on the guitar riffs. At the same time, we tried to explore different musical landscapes, but still sounding heavy and melodic. Terra Odium is old school guitar driven progressive metal.”

Line up:

- Øyvind Hægeland / Vocals and lead guitars (Spiral Architect, Manitou)
- Bollie Fredriksen / Rhythm, lead and acoustic guitars (Manitou, Melted Space)
- Steve Di Giorgio / Fretless bass (Death, Testament, Control Denied)
- Asgeir Mickelson / Drums (Spiral Architect, Testament)
- Jon Phipps / Orchestration (Moonspell, Angra)
