Anders Odden (born 20 December 1972) is a Norwegian musician. He is the co-founder and guitarist of the early Norwegian death metal band Cadaver and is considered to be one of the pioneers of Norwegian metal. Odden is also one of the founders of industrial rock band Magenta, heavy metal band Doctor Midnight & The Mercy Cult, and black metal band ORDER. He has also been a member of synth-pop band Apoptygma Berzerk, touring member of Satyricon and Celtic Frost, and appeared as a guest with several different bands, including The Young Gods and Ministry. In addition to his work as a musician, Odden has worked as a consultant in the music business, seminar speaker, tour manager, and festival and conference organizer.
Early life
Odden was born in Stavanger and grew up in Fredrikstad and Råde. His first connection to music came through his father's collection of classical music and he was unaware of rock music until the age of seven, when he discovered Kiss.
Career
Odden started his musical career in the mid-1980s and started one of Norway's first death metal bands, Cadaver, in 1988. He formed Magenta in 1995 as an outlet for other musical ideas than death metal. Odden was a live guitarist for Celtic Frost from 2006 to 2007 and toured Europe, USA, Canada and Japan with the band as part of their Monotheist Tour. He co-founded the short-lived heavy metal super group Doctor Midnight & The Mercy Cult in 2009. In 2013, he founded the black metal band ORDER together with former-Mayhem members Manheim and Messiah, and former-Cadaver member Rene Jansen. Following Jansen's death in December 2014, ORDER recruited former-Gluecifer member Stu Manx in August 2015 and released their debut album in 2017.
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Odden worked as a consultant for music organizations in Norway, including RIO, GramArt, MIC and MFO (Musicians Union in Norway). He is the founder of the music business seminar IMC, which is held during the annual Inferno Festival in Oslo, Norway. In 2011, Odden released his autobiography, Piratliv. In 2024, Odden and singer Benedicte Adrian competed at the Melodi Grand Prix 2024, the Norwegian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, under the name Mistra with the song "Waltz of Death".
