Legends of Monta, Pt. 1 was released on October 1, 2006. It is the band's second album.
Legends of Monta, Pt. 1 is the first part of a two-album conceptual saga. In true classic progressive form, the album details a fantastical story akin to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, with an emphasis on storytelling and captivating the audience. The music powerfully brings forth all elements of progressive rock and metal to perfectly accompany the rich and enchanting storyline. The second half of the saga, Legends of Monta, Pt. 2, was released three years later. Physical and digital copies of Legends of Monta and other Odd Logic releases can be purchased at CDBaby here. |
the history of legends of monta, pt 1
Legends of Monta, Pt. 1 is the first of a two-album concept that began with a round-robin fantasy story that Sean’s father and long-time band collaborator and friend Kevin Hunter both got Sean into for, he says, “some fun on the side of life’s everyday hum.” They would each write a few pages of the story and pass it on to the next guy. “My father and I adopted the story, effectively transforming it into a musical screenplay, if you will.” Legends of Monta is somewhat traditional in its nature, as a hero-villain epic with ideas that helped direct and further the music itself.
Monta, Pt. 1 was a slew of firsts. It was Odd Logic’s first album recorded on PC format from start to finish, though it was again mastered in house. “It was my first opportunity to write with sound effects in mind and a true concept rock opera delivery,” adds Sean. “With many family members getting involved, this was a very rewarding and fun experience.” The full list of personnel involved is below.
