ODYSSEA formed in 2004 by guitarist Pier Gonella (Necrodeath, Mastercastle, Vanexa, ex-Labyrinth) with the idea to create a band into speed metal, with neo-classical influences in their compositions.
After the well acclaimed debut album “Tears in floods” released in 2004, Pier wrote tracks to complete a new album, with Roberto Tiranti (Wonderworld, ex-Labyrinth) on vocals.
Then the project was temporarily stopped due to many commitments for both Gonella and Tiranti with their bands Necrodeath, Mastercastle and Labyrinth.
About ten years after… here we are in 2015. It’s time to complete the new tracks, for the follow-up of “Tears in floods”, with the experience of about ten years of albums, recordings and concerts worldwide for Pier Gonella and Roberto Tiranti.
