Bio:
OSUKARU is the brandchild from the ex. EYE guitarist Oz Osukaru who had the dream of creating a Swedish / American hard rock outfit having big melodies, catchy hooks and the classic stadium sound. After teaming up with the awarded Los Angeles born drummer Ryan Coyle, the spine of OSUKARU's major songwriting style was born.In 2011 OSUKARU did some line-up changes and today the band is stronger than ever. With Oz Osukaru, Ryan Coyle and the lovely Emma Lee Gunnari on bass, the ex. SEVEN TEARS and PLATITUDE keyboardist Kristofer von Wachenfeldt has joined the band together with a brand new talent to be explored; lead singer Carl "CJ" Johan. And what a line-up it is!OSUKARU is the brainchild of Swedish guitarist, keyboardist and songwriter Oz Osukaru who wanted a melodic rock band delivering not only good music but an entire "all inclusive" AOR experience with the music, image and artwork - all being well thought out.The band have been consisting of various constellations but the current line-up is by far the most interesting. Having both male and female vocals on top of a big AOR soundscape where edgy hard rock guitars, atmospheric keyboards and a slick saxophone comes together makes the music of OSUKARU something special for every fan of melodic rock.On their new mini-album "Transition" we get everything from solid AOR to classic hard rock mixed with a slightly progressive edge, along with some re-recorded favourites from their earlier releases. The album was mixed and mastered by Attila Bokor (Morph, BOA) and Kevin McNoldy (Dave Matthews Band, Backstreet Boys) who together brought out the biggest production yet on an OSUKARU release."Transition" comes out march 2015 on CD (City of Lights Records) and digital download (Simply Boundless Records) with both versions including a booklet (PDF file on the digital version) packed with artwork, photos, lyrics, credits and liner notes plus one exclusive bonus track on each format.
Album:
Swedish AOR band Osukaru are about to release their brand-new album "The Labyrinth" in March 2017, which will be their 4th full-length studio album, but also their first ever concept album. It was mixed by Viktor Stenquist (Beseech, Amorphis) and Attila Bokor (Morph, BOA, Osukaru). "The Labyrinth" is a love letter to classic fantasy movies from back in the day and in particular the 1986 fantasy flick 'Labyrinth', thereof the album title. "The idea was to write songs that when played in the order they appear on the album, they would tell the overall story of the spectacular and magical movie 'Labyrinth', but with each song still being able to stand on its own", says Oz. "But as a twist, our version of the story is more from the antagonists point of view, as I would imagine the book read by the protagonist in the first scene of the movie is as well. So by going from that angle, we found a lot of interesting stories and themes to build our songs on." "The Labyrinth" sees Osukaru taking one step back and two steps forward into their already established AOR-with-an-edge territory, raising the keyboards and the melodies just another notch. Oz: "I'd say that this one is our most AOR oriented release since 'Salvation', but it's also our most hard hitting rock album to date." The album artwork was, as always, created by Oz himself and this time we see returning model Isabelle Högbacka being back as their blindfolded heroine for the first time since "Salvation" in 2012.
