Remembered for appearing in the film The Decline Of Western Civilization Part
II: The Metal Years and for wearing assless chaps onstage, Odin was huge
on the late 80's Sunset Strip metal scene. Renowned club owner Bill Gazarri
even proclaimed that they would be bigger than Van Halen (whom he helped
get recognized), but Odin's potential remained unfulfilled.
Forming during the early 80's metal resurgence, Randy "O" (vocals), Jeff
Duncan (guitar), Aaron Samson (bass) and Shawn Duncan (drums) were
convinced they would set the world on fire with their brand of traditional
metal meets sleaze. The band garnered a loyal Hollywood following, but a
major label deal failed to come their way. But it would be their appearance in
The Metal Years that turned the band into cult metal heroes or the laughing
stock of rock, depending on your views.
But even their spirited, and perhaps misguided, appearance on that cult
classic failed to get the group the major label recognition they deserved. So
in 1988 Randy "O" jumped ship and formed the Lostboys. Surprisingly that
band managed to get a major label deal with Atlantic! Jeff Duncan would
soon join the Lostboys as well for their lone release Lost And Found. The
remaining members tried to soldier on as Odin with varying members,
including future Slaughter guitarist Tim Kelly, but success was not in the
cards.
Both of the Duncan brothers would appear with Armored Saint, Birds Of
Prey and are currently in DC4. Despite claiming he would kill himself if he
never hit the big time, Randy "O" lives a quiet life with his family doing charity
work. In 2008 the band reunited to release an EP entitled Human Animal.
Odin will go down in history as a forgotten band that was so close yet so far.
