BEST OF 2010 (songs) #15 Zoroaster - Odyssey

"Odyssey" is as epic sounding as its name implies. It's a massive burner of a song complete with grand canyon sized riffage, god-like vocals, a stratosphere piercing snare drum and guitar solo, and a swamp boogie breakdown at the end. It traverses it's harrowing journey in under six minutes of some of the finest groove-based doom/sludge since Kyuss quite kicking up dust in the desert all those years ago. This is only one of the many fine examples of why it was a very good year for metal.
