Osukaru

Osukaru is the brainchild of Swedish guitarist, keyboardist and songwriter Oz Osukaru who wanted a melodic rock band delivering not only good music but an entire „all inclusive“ AOR experience with the music, image and artwork – all being well thought out.

The band have been consisting of various constellations but the current line-up is by far the most interesting. Having both male and female vocals on top of a big AOR soundscape where edgy hard rock guitars, atmospheric keyboards and a slick saxophone comes together makes the music of OSUKARU something special for every fan of melodic rock.

On their new mini-album „Transition“ we get everything from solid AOR to classic hard rock mixed with a slightly progressive edge, along with some re-recorded favourites from their earlier releases. The album was mixed and mastered by Attila Bokor (Morph, BOA) and Kevin McNoldy (Dave Matthews Band, Backstreet Boys) who together brought out the biggest production yet on an OSUKARU release.

Terra Atlantica

Disguised in the eternal haze out on the Ocean lies the secret realm of Atlantica. A city once divine but crushed by the gods for its inhabitants‘ growing averice.
After eleven thousand years at the bottom of the sea, the water god Poseidon finally showed mercy and the city rose back to the surface.
There the people built up a new society and used their wisdom to develope advanced technology, superior to the world’s era.

Terra Atlantica was founded in December 2014 when drummer Nico and guitarist/singer Tristan, who knew each other from a former band, decided to start a new project.
They began writing songs and completed their crew with bass player Nick and guitarist Mike.
Soon the concept of singing about Atlantis and other nautical themes evolved and a demo containing three songs was recorded.
Finally they could emerge on the world’s power metal scene and begin their glorious quest.
