''Have you ever had the strange sensation of being watched or followed by an invisible presence ? What if there really is something or someone watching over us, guiding us from a place which remains unseen and unknown to us ? Someone who helps us from the inside, knowing even our deepest thoughts... And what if this guide was not entirely good ?''



This is how Samuel Arkan introduces us his new project called ''Epysode'', a new prog-metal band that will release their debut album ''Obsessions'' on agoust 26 via AFM Records. Obsessions is a thriller conceptual album based on a story of a mysterious crime surrounded by the supernatural with a pretty dark technical sound.
For this project, it's mastermind Samuel Arkan invited several musicians and singers to give life to the various characters in the story, among them are Oddler Stensland (Communic singer), Kelly Sundown (former Beyond Twilight, Outworld singer), Rick Altzi (At Vance Singer), Kristoffer Gildenlöw (former Pain Of Salvation bassist) and Léo Margarit (Pain Of Salvation drummer). The album was mixed by Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Jorn Lande, TNT, Circus Maximus, others) in Jailhouse Studios, Denmark.
