Oddland

**Oddland** is a Finnish progressive metal outfit that's been crafting intricate soundscapes since forming in the early 2000s. Hailing from Turku, the band—Sakari Ojanen (vocals/guitar), Jussi Pohjanen (guitar), Ville Männikkö (bass), and Joni Palmroth (drums)—combines technical precision with atmospheric depth, blending polyrhythms, melodic hooks, and philosophical themes. They gained momentum with their 2012 debut *The Treachery of Senses*, a concept album exploring human perception, followed by 2016’s *Origin*, which delved into existential questions about consciousness and evolution.

Recent releases like *Vermilion* (including its expansive *Pt. 4: Feed the Void*), *Unity*, and *Eternal Erode* showcase their signature mix of cerebral storytelling and crushing riffs, often wrapped in cinematic visuals. Oddland’s music appeals to fans who dig both the complexity of bands like Meshuggah and the melodic heft of acts like Karnivool, all while maintaining a distinctly Nordic atmospheric edge. Their work remains a playground for listeners craving rhythmically adventurous yet emotionally resonant metal.
