The Cold and Distant Oracle is a unique release amongst Midnight Odyssey's vast catalogue.

The idea was to have multiple versions of the same song. The first track is a dark and brooding black metal track. Track two is a neoclassical version. Tracks 3 and 4 are remixes by Death Comes Crawling, one darker, one lighter, and the last track is all of the previous tracks playing together in a chaotic and spiralling mix.

______________________

Over two years in the making, "From The Waters Of Death" is a conceptual split album that brings to life an ambitious project: To tell the Mesopotamian myth of Gilgamesh, the world's oldest epic, through music. The poem recounts the deeds of the king of Uruk, a strong and arrogant demigod who oppresses his people. To Gilgamesh the gods oppose the bestial Enkidu, a wild hero who lives among animals and that defeats the king of Uruk in battle, teaching him temperance and balance. The two become inseparable friends and embark on heroic adventures until Enkidu's death, a tragic event that drives Gilgamesh on a desperate quest for immortality, finally discovering that true immortality lies in the works and wisdom left to posterity.

Telling the story are four bands characterized by darkly epic songwriting: first of all, Dis Pater's MIDNIGHT ODYSSEY, who with its cosmic metal has repeatedly tackled concept albums with a mythological flavor; then the english duo SWORDS OF DIS, somewhat the directors of the entire work, whether for the theatrical power of their doom-tinged black metal, and for the fact that singer Alice Corvinus' vocals act as a trait d'union between all the tracks. And finally ÔROS KAÙ, the black metal project of Guillaume Cazalet from NEPTUNIAN MAXIMALISM, and the Finnish deathsters SERPENT ASCENDING by Jarno Nurmi (DESECRESY), both equally at home with concept albums with dark and majestic atmospheres.

Equally important is the amazing work of artist David Glomba, who took care of the cover drawing as well as the magnificent paintings and cuneiform writing that are beautifully displayed in the sumptuous large booklet.
Through 5 long and articulate tracks on the border between death, black and doom metal, "From The Waters Of Death" beautifully captures the essence of the Gilgamesh myth, who represents mankind's irrepressible need to understand the meaning of existence through the value of human mortality.
