Release the Titans (Nor) - Odyssey @ Power Metal

Paul Olsen was lead guitarist and one of the founding members of the Norwegian power metal band “Guardians of Time”. After 25 years, 5 albums and numerous tours across Europe, the band broke up in 2021. The time has come to embark on a new musical journey with "Release the Titans". Starting out as a one-man-band, Paul handles all songwriting, guitars and vocals. Crafting a sound that combines melodic metal with epic orchestrated parts and blistering guitars. To bring "Odyssey" to the stage, Paul has enlisted talented musicians: Sebastian Madsen on guitar, Geir Øivind Vågane on drums, and Iben Solberg on bass. These live musicians join "Release the Titans" to prepare for an impactful live experience.

Release the Titans' long awaited full length album "Odyssey" will be available on all streaming platforms June 21st. "Odyssey" is a concept album that follows the last surviving human in a world ruined by environmental destruction and war. It is a cautionary tale about the consequences of environmental neglect and war, highlighting how humanity has polluted the planet and ravaged nature. Through the lens of science fiction, it urges us to reflect on our choices and strive for a better future.

The album was mixed by Endre Kirkesola in Dub studio. Featuring guest artists: Bernt Fjellestad, Ann Kristin Eikeland, Frank Ørland, Sebastian Hedegart Madsen, Kim Slotten and Bent Lindebø.
