Midnight Odyssey - Streaming New Song


With a new album previously announced, Australian one-man band Midnight Odyssey reveal a second new track, entitled "Starlight Oblivion", for your listening pleasure at No Clean Singing or below. "Starlight Oblivion" comes off of the band's upcoming double album, Shards Of Silver Fade, due out June 8th through I, Voidhanger Records.



About the song, NCS says: "It's a sweeping celestial voyage of shimmering ambient sounds, galvanizing rhythms, melodies that tug at the heart, and an array of vocal expressions that are all mesmerizing.

The emotional tone of the piece is by turns sombre and uplifting, a monument to both the majesty of melancholy and the glories of hope and triumph. It has the nature of an astral voyage far out beyond the confines of gravity, alternately flowing in a slow cosmic drift and bursting into life as galloping drum and bass rhythms hit their stride.

Apart from the entrancing sweep of the melodies, the song's great strength lies in sole member Dis Pater's voice. His clean vocals span an impressive range, from pure, clean, impassioned song that arcs skyward to deeper, moodier intonations, and at carefully chosen moments he breaks into a scarring black metal rasp that's just as emotionally affecting."

That album artwork is giving me way too much of a power metal vibe for my likings

I'm officially hyped for this record now, but how did I know this track would be 15+ minutes long.

Okay fuck, that was good. I feel this is going to be on the same level, if not better than the debut. Can't wait

Do Australia proud! ^.^

Edit: That was great!

Yet it probably still won't be found in an Australian shop.

Kind of like At the Heart of Winter, right?

Nevertheless looking forward to this album. There's too much going on on the cover... it's not THAT bad if you ask me.
