Flight of Odin (featuring Xyra)

ABOUT

Original . Powerful . Mystical . Dynamic!

Bright, yet dark… moody, yet epic!
A picturesque and uncommon road, introspectively observed, yet bravely traveled.

“Our passion is excellence, while having fun!”
~ Xyra

New EP, “Goddess in Smoke”
May 5, 2024

YAY!
Flight of Odin just got our mastered EP, “Goddess in Smoke” back from BIAS Recording Studios and are extremely pleased with the outcome!

Brian Jacobs Rivera engineered the sessions, and Mike Monseur did the mastering. Gloria Dawson, co-owner and manager of BIAS is a wonderful person with whom to work, having great communication skills, professionalism, and patience.

Having completed their recent EP, “Goddess in Smoke”, female-fronted melodic hard rock band, Flight of Odin have begun finalizing music for an upcoming full album project.

The goal is to continue creating original, unique music... that is more Norse-ward bound… crowned by lead singer, Xyra’s image-laden lyrics, and Nico-esque vocals.

The songs are slated for airplay on:
WOWD in Maryland
WFRI in NY (w/5 affiliates)
and The Metal Devastation
international network…
