Newly signed French alternative metal band ODC‘s single ‘Love, I Tore It Apart’, is out now via BLKIIBLK.
With a polished production, dynamic structure, and vulnerable lyrics, this new single is said to place ODC firmly in the new wave of genre-bending metal acts.
Commenting on the track, the band stated: “The track blends heavy, syncopated guitar riffs with electronic textures and powerful, emotional vocals – a bold and cinematic take on modern metal. It dives deep into themes of toxic love, identity loss, and emotional struggle, capturing the chaos of a relationship that slowly destroys from the inside”.

ODC is the soundtrack of a hybrid generation. A sonic uppercut, balancing raw power and elegance. It’s also the voice of a generation searching for meaning – standing at the crossroads of styles, cultures, and influences.
Formed in Paris in 2017, ODC is the result of two worlds coming together: the world of Celia Do, a vocalist with a striking identity, and that of a composer driven by the same fire – the desire to create an alternative metal project that breaks free from conventions: bold, modern, and uncompromising. From this spark, a true sonic and visual odyssey emerged.
ODC – named after Do’s stage name acronym – became a totally creative space, where heavy riffs, catchy melodies, and contemporary electronic textures collide in a unique blend of raw energy and polished aesthetic. ODC is a bold blend of metal, modern rock and immersive electronic atmospheres.
Inspired by artists such as Devin Townsend, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park and BMTH, ODC doesn’t fit in any box. The band asserts its own voice — powerful, hybrid, sharp and emotional. Their songs are modern mantras, telling stories of freedom, downfall, and resilience. Music that hits hard and hits deep. A constant dialogue between introspection and explosion.
The band is built around four distinct artistic personalities: Celia Do (lead singer, founder and producer, the rock frontwoman of the band), Sonny, a.k.a. MX MNK (a bassist with roots in hardcore and black metal, and a trash rapper with visceral energy), Raphaël (an 8-string guitarist blending classic rock, hard rock, and atmospheric textures), and Hector (a drummer forged in the death metal scene, delivering explosive rhythmic power).
After a well-received debut EP in 2019 (Ending The Boredom), ODC carved their path through a series of powerful singles between 2020 and 2023, asserting their hybrid identity and ability to break genre boundaries. In 2024, the project took a major leap forward: writing their first full-length album, produced in Nashville by Kellen McGregor (Memphis May Fire).
Lead singer Celia Do commented on the band’s signing to BLKIIBLK: “We’re beyond excited to join the BLKIIBLK family. Teaming up with a passionate, professional crew who truly lives for music is exactly what we were looking for. A bold new era of ODC starts now – and it’s going to be massive!”
Aldo Lonobile, Head Of A&R Europe at Frontiers Label Group, parent company of BLKIIBLK, stated: “ODC impressed me since the first listening, they are the perfect formula between modern alternative metal and a devoted work attitude, and we are ready to bring the band to the highest level!”
