Odd Obsessions is een hardrockband uit het zuiden van Nederland. In hun muziek
verkennen ze thema’s als obsessieve gedachten, innerlijke strijd en de zoektocht naar
houvast in een steeds complexere wereld.

Hun sound wordt verrijkt door invloeden uit de progressive en moderne hardrock
gecombineerd met hints uit de heavy metal en metal core. Dit resulteert in een
karakteristieke mix van zware riffs, pakkende melodie\u00ebn en dynamische ritmes.

Tot de hoogtepunten uit hun carri\u00e8re behoren het winnen van de Westland Metal
Battle (2024), Popelucht Band Battle (2025) en Lost Lake Festival Band Battle (2026).
