Originally started in 2001 by Will and Kristoph of the Austin, Texas based dark metal band Vesperian Sorrow. Odysseum was an idea between the two to express their interest in more atmospheric/gothic metal than their blacker more extreme band Vesperian Sorrow. Odysseum is now the next evolution of Vesperian Sorrow, and has taken its music to a higher more technical level. The music is based more along the lines of "Melodic Blackened Death" Accompanying the former VS duo is Sean Hudson (Raziel), who will be sharing the keyboard duties with Kristoph. With new music on the horizon Odysseum will overwhelmingly become a force of recognition!
