D2C Studios is the recording home of Matt Brookins, architect of rock band Odin's Court. A new version of the studio was recently built, including a control room, a large tracking room, a vocal/cabinet tracking booth, a full bathroom, and a large storage closet. QuietRock drywall and Aurelex SoundBlock are combined with other Aurelex sound diffusion/damping materials to help create a proper, sonic environment.
D2C Studios offers production, sound recording, and mixing engineering, and more. Please contact us if you are interested in our services. Though we can do most anything, we specialize in rock, metal, country, and blues, as well as orchestral music (through use of virtual instruments and MIDI equipment).
Have you written songs but don't have a band to play them? D2C Studios has access to a wealth of talented musicians who can help make your vision a reality. We can negotiate rates for you to hire our studio musicians.
We also offer video editing. For samples, visit the Odin's Court YouTube site.

Breaking news! Odin’s Court has just signed to ProgRock Records!
You can preorder the new CD Deathanity as of today.
Deathanity is the latest effort from Odin’s Court, a Maryland, USA band. Deathanity is an ambitious concept album dealing with the effects mankind’s actions are having on the planet. Alternate views are offered through the use of instrumentation, lyrics, sound effects, and various vocal clips. Ambience, dynamics, and soul are combined with complexity, groove, and energy in a song oriented structure, to create a unique, surreal landscape. Each song, dealing with a different theme, is accompanied by a newly created word and definition in the album art. Special guest vocalists include Tom Englund (Evergrey) and Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica).
ODIN'S COURT is happy to announce a very special guest vocalist: Tom Englund (EVERGREY)! Tom will be providing additional lead vocals on one of ODIN'S COURT's new songs called "Mammonific".
Matt had this to say about Tom: "I first heard EVERGREY when their album RECREATION DAY came out. I heard it once and was instantly hooked. They had a great balance of depth, song writing, and technicality, combined with an original sound. Tom's vocals struck me as something that stood out - a solid, technical singer who had a more middle range (something refreshing for their genre), and was also extremely unique and soulful. When I first approached Tom about doing a track, I expected he would be too busy since EVERGREY was recording a new album. However, Tom was super nice and very professional, and once an agreement was reached, he had me his part in less than a week! I look forward to people hearing what he brought to the table."
A previous announcement revealed that TONY KAKKO (best known for his work with SONATA ARCTICA) is appearing on the ODIN'S COURT song "Crownet".
To check out samples from "Crownet", "Mammonific", and other songs, go to the ODIN'S COURT homepage or MySpace.
ODIN'S COURT recently finished their new CD DEATHANITY, a concept album about the direction the human race is taking the planet. They are currently shopping the album to labels.
You can hear the full song "Volatilestial" from the upcoming album on ODIN'S COURT's MySpace.
You can hear the full song "Obesite" from the upcoming album on D2C STUDIOS' MySpace.
