Vokonis release fourth studio album ‘Odyssey’


Vokonis’ fourth studio album ”Odyssey” is out now. More dynamically diverse than ever, the album’s 6 new tracks feature guest musician Per Wiberg (Opeth, Spiritual Beggars, Kamchatka) on Keyboard. “Odyssey” is Vokonis’ first true prog-record. A record for the new decade.
