    Oddland: The Treachery of Senses - great fresh prog metal debut

    This Finnish band just released their debut album a couple of weeks ago on Century Media. Finally managed to buy it yesterday after having heard two songs earlier in the spring. Fantastic stuff! Certainly the best prog metal album out of Finland in a long time and will end up high on my top...

    Interviews missing from the PP XI Program?
