Combining hard rock, jazz fusion, classical music and folk influences, the Grammy winners Jethro Tull, are pioneers of progressive rock music, with more than 60 million albums sold worldwide. The legendary the leader and mastermind of Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson identifies İstanbul with the band’s music: “I think Jethro Tull’s music is somewhat timeless, not bound to any specific musical fashion. Isn’t your city like that too? A timeless city.”
Sotiris Anunnaki V. from the symphonic death metal band SEPTICFLESH spoke to Metal Oda on the verge of their İstanbul concert to be held on February 16, 2024. The concert venue is IF Beşiktaş and the concert is organized by Vera Müzik and Black Label Events.
Jonas Renkse, founder and lead vocalist of Swedish metal band KATATONIA spoke to Metal Oda on the verge of their SKY VOID OF STARS TOUR İstanbul concert to be held on January 20th, 2024.
Our subject today is Dormant, the new album from Silent Skies duo, made of Tom S. Englund (Evergrey) and pianist / film score composer Vikram Shankar.
I think that today, the best music, good music and the music that makes sense is made in the field of extreme metal and progressive metal genres. At least, this is the kind of music that makes sense to me: deep, rich, worthy to think upon, satisfying. I believe that one of the most interesting works in the metal genre came from Teramaze this year.
Birmingham: the birthplace of heavy metal music, where the legendary bands Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Duran Duran were formed and where the greatest story teller and philologist J.R.R Tolkien was raised.. The second major UK city where the industrial revolution started and which has seen the birth of Watt Steam Engine. Some members of the famous rock band Led Zeppelin and metal bands Napalm Death and Godflesh all originate from Birmingham, not forgetting UB40 and Steve Winwood.
Metal Oda and the Classical Music Clinic met once again on Clubhouse, exploring the subject of “Death” in heavy metal and in classical music. The subject of death is a popular one in music and literature and as the two best music clubs in their specific genres, we have come up with rich and deep content from different composers and metal bands.
Last week we have listened to the Rock and Metal songs from the massive TV series Stranger Things in Clubhouse Metal Oda. I was very much excited about this broadcast, I’ll tell you why…The sci-fi, horror drama TV series Stranger Things from Duffer Brothers is airing since 2016. I watched all episodes in four days and with very little sleep due to the excitement of its plot.
