Review: Odyssey - Abysmal Despair (2012)

-













Sweden's "Odyssey" is quite hard to describe, their approach is straightforward while staying experimental in the rocks-like-hell department. Imagine Nick Oliveri's Mondo Generator with a more raw, sludgier & overall heavier sound, in the likes of early Melvins maybe. Here's a band that's definitely not afraid to break barriers & try something else for a change. "Abysmal Despair" is Odyssey's debut full-length released through Transubstans Records.



One of the more memorable tracks on this thing has to be "Wicked Witch" (known from the 7'' split with the revamped Black Pyramid), a rifftastic sludgy stoner rock anthem. Others are somewhat hit & miss, but there's plenty to explore. Love it or hate it, this is a pounding lesson in stoner, sludge, noise & garage rock with some really rough edges. Odyssey is Swedish greatness and they delivered a good, fun album for those who like their stoner rock different & dirty...

Favorite tracks: Wicked Witch, Keloma, Darked
For fans of: (early) Mondo Generator, Horisont

Mark Wahlberg says he would have kept his shirt more often when he was young and he threw his career. Actor Mark Wahlberg is said rather embarrassed by her fashion choices during his brief career in hip-hop under the pseudonym of rapper Marky Mark . Wahlberg, who was part of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, admits he would love to erase his fashion choices of the time and his musical choices. He says: "Believe me, if there were things I could erase, I would.   I can not erase, and it made me the person I am today, but I would certainly remove some of these things.   I should keep my shirt more often.   And not have my pants down as often.   " Mark Wahlberg says that when he left the music to start his acting career, he immediately knew it was the path he should take. Even if he likes his acting career, he insists that his wife, model Rhea Durham , and their four children are much more important to him than work. "Family, faith and being a good person is the source and
