Odd Crew releases new album and video "Mark These Words"

Maybe you guys remember that I've written about the crowdfunding campaign of Odd Crew here on my blog some time ago. The campaign was a half-success on the financial side but the band refused to give up.

Problems with Visa's for America also made the original plans impossible but the band managed to work around this as well and re-deceided to record the album in Sweden with the help of Daniel Bergstrand as a producer, mixing was done by Jason Suecof and Alan Douches took care about the mastering of the new material.

The new album entitled "Mark These Words" will see the day of light in two days and you can still pre-order your copy through the band's website for 7,50 Euro plus shipping and handling. The band also opened up a presence of Bandcamp where you can get the songs digitally. Currently two tracks of the new record are available (Mark These Words and Lay On Me).


In the meantime check out the video for the title-track of the record. The refrain is a killer. I like the direct and brutal riffing along with the vocals. Those are kept heavy and hard but it's also great when they go over to the clean part. It's cool to see a vocalist changing without any ado from one style to another. Besides that the groove and push of the drums give a lot of positive energy to the listener. Enjoy. :-)

A band of brothers: Odd Crew asking for your support on the next album

Many people playing in bands say that being someone that is part of it brings you in sort of a special relation to others. Some compare it to being married, but instead married to one person being married to let's say four other people.

The modern thrash band Odd Crew from Bulgaria describes themselves as a family who started out back in 1998. The four young men were kids in those days but they always stayed together throughout all the years. Now the time for the band has come to set a new focus in their lifes and they decided to go in a even more professionell direction with the fourth album under the banner of Odd Crew being in pre-production at the moment.

But the band needs a proper sound to be able to reach out to more fans with the new record. You know these days a lot of good bands and albums are around but going into a fully professionell production requires you to work with a proper producer and recording location. Odd Crew decided that they would like to work with Jason Seucof from Audiohammer Studios, Florida. He already worked with well known bands like Trivium, Devildriver, Firewind and the like.

Being not signed to a major label or having a big budget on their hands the band asks their fans and all other people who are interested in their music out there to help them out with the money needed to do this step. The goal has been set to 35.000 Dollars on their IndieGoGo campaign that's up and running 'till the end of January 2015. If you like to support them further on their way you can choose between several goodie packs ranging from a digital album download at 10 Euro up to a physical CD for 20 Euro or several other options. Just check out the campaign page to find out more about that.
