ODIN’S COURT is a Maryland, USA band that was formed by Matt Brookins in 2001. The band is best described as metal & rock, fusing classic and modern sounds that transcend several genres. They have released 4 CDs worldwide and done selective touring in the United States. The band is always looking to expand their reach, and is constantly evolving and growing their music. For 12 years the band has been fronted by Brookins, who provides a unique voice that often sets the band apart from others in their genre. Brookins trained under Steve Whiteman (Kix, Funny Money) for several years.

Brookins also performs on various other instruments as needed, doubling as band producer. Rick Pierpont, an infectious presence on stage, offers an excellent contrast on guitar to Brookins’ often more melodic and phrase-oriented style. A new rhythm section joined the band in 2013, consisting of bassist Seth Jackson and percussionist Jeff Sauber. For the first 7 years the band was independent, self-financing 3 albums (2002 demo Odin’s Court, 2003 album Driven by Fate, and 2005 album ReDriven by Fate). In 2006 the band headlined the infamous Jaxx Nightclub near Washington DC, drawing an audience comparable to that of larger National
