The 12 Labors of Hercules: A Metal Odyssey is an instrumental metal concept album that blends metal with mythological fury and emotional depth.
Each track is a crushing, cinematic retelling of Hercules’ trials – mirroring the personal battles we all face.
It’s melodic, heavy, raw, and immersive – with blistering riffs, serene and majestic moments, and shifting soundscapes that pull you through chaos, struggle, and ultimate triumph.
The entire album is played live from start to finish – drawing the audience in to the story’s dramatic, musical arch.
The addition of the Greek chorus, a mysterious figure commenting on the story as it happens ties it all together, telling the brutal and epic tale.
Running time is approx. 50 minutes.
