Alternative Metallers ODC Premiere New Video ‘Twisted Love’

Alternative metal band ODC are pleased to share their new single, “Twisted Love”, title track of the upcoming album, out on October 31, 2025, via BLKIIBLK.

With “Twisted Love”, ODC deliver a bold crossover between modern rock, metalcore intensity, and rap flow. The track combines crushing 8-string riffs and infectious grooves with the striking vocal interplay of bassist/rapper Sonny’s razor-sharp verses and frontwoman Célia’s soaring melodic hooks.
This dual energy makes the single both powerful and accessible, pushing the boundaries of today’s modern rock and metal.

Vocalist Célia Do described the track by saying: “Twisted Love” is about contradictions – attraction and destruction, sweetness and brutality. At the same time, it’s also the track that defines us best as a band. It captures our mindset: we don’t believe in rules or boxes, because ODC was never meant to fit in one”.

With its polished production and fearless genre-blending, “Twisted Love” brings ODC’s bold vision of modern alternative metal to life. The band’s motto, “Forget rules, forget boxes”, perfectly sums up this hybrid and liberated debut.

Commenting on the album, the band stated: “With “Twisted Love”, we wanted to show that metal can be both powerful and elegant – emotional, modern, and unafraid to break the rules. This album is about pushing boundaries by blending genres and influences while staying true to who we are: delivering heavy music that moves both body and soul”.

“Lyrically, “Twisted Love” explores the breaking points of human connection but also carries a message of hope: accepting our shadows to heal and rebuild. It’s for anyone drawn to heavy music that refuses to fit into categories”, they continued.

ODC is the soundtrack of a hybrid generation. A sonic uppercut, balancing raw power and elegance. 

Born in Paris in 2017, ODC is the result of two worlds coming together: the world of Celia Do, a vocalist with a striking identity, and that of a composer driven by the same fire – the desire to create an alternative metal project that breaks free from conventions: bold, modern, and uncompromising. From this spark, a true sonic and visual odyssey emerged.

ODC – named after Celia’s stage name acronym – became a totally creative space, where heavy riffs, catchy melodies, and contemporary electronic textures collide in a unique blend of raw energy and polished aesthetic. ODC is a bold blend of metal, modern rock and immersive electronic atmospheres. 

Inspired by artists such as Devin Townsend, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park and BMTH, ODC doesn’t fit in any box. The band asserts its own voice — powerful, hybrid, sharp and emotional.
Their songs are modern mantras, telling stories of freedom, downfall, and resilience. Music that hits hard — and hits deep. A constant dialogue between introspection and explosion. 

The band is built around four distinct artistic personalities: Celia Do (lead singer, founder and producer, the rock frontwoman of the band), Sonny, a.k.a. MX MNK (a bassist with roots in hardcore and black metal, and a rapper with visceral energy). Then, Raphaël (an 8-string guitarist blending classic rock, hard rock, and atmospheric textures), and Hector (a drummer forged in the death metal scene, delivering explosive rhythmic power). 

After a well-received debut EP in 2019 (“Ending The Boredom”), ODC carved their path through a series of powerful singles between 2020 and 2023, asserting their hybrid identity and ability to break genre boundaries. In 2024, the project took a major leap forward: writing their first full-length album, produced in Nashville by Kellen McGregor (Memphis May Fire).

“Twisted Love” Tracklist:

1.    My Only Fan (Feat. SUN)
2.    Love, I Tore It Apart
3.    Twisted Love
4.    Follower (Feat. SUN)
5.    The Beauty Of The Beast
6.    My Name Is Gold
7.    I Need To Breathe
8.    If I’d Tried

JON HARRIS Presents ‘If You Wouldn’t’ Playthrough Video

Edmonton instrumental rock guitarist Jon Harris has unveiled the playthrough video for If You Wouldn’t, from his album Parallel Heart (Epictronic). With every note, he pulls you deeper into his world, where soulful riffs, graceful solos, and rich guitar and keyboard layers create a sound that is both intimate and vast.

“‘If You Wouldn’t’ started as a test riff for my new Telecaster. I bought the guitar for recording the album and absolutely fell in love with it,” stated Jon. “A friend of mine asked what my new Telecaster sounded like, so I quickly kicked out this riff, thinking not much of it. Next thing I knew it was 3am and my wife was asking me to come to bed.  A few weeks later we had an opener for the album. There’s a kind of emotional depth in the track that even I have a hard time putting into words. I spent a lot of time trying to rewrite parts of it later, but nothing ever felt as honest as that first version. What you hear on the record is exactly how it needed to be.”

Stream the full album Parallel Heart now: orcd.co/parallelheart

The album is a vivid showcase of Harris’s multi-instrumental skills and compositional vision. While completely instrumental, Parallel Heart conveys stories of tension and release, exploring the space between connection and chaos, creative ambition and everyday demands. From the pulsing energy of Togetherness to the shimmering retro feel of 97BPM, each track builds its own emotional narrative.
Harris, who performed guitar, drums, bass, piano, and production on the record, proves himself not only a guitarist to watch but a full-scale sonic architect. His sound bridges blues-soaked rock, synth-driven textures, and funk grooves with cinematic flair — think Jeff Beck meets Prince with a modern rock edge.

I’m also proud of Lars for his great work, for my son Fredrik for his amazing drum playing and also for Anuviel for the high quality keyboard arrangements. Also a big thanks to Tommy Denander for his efforts.”
