About Anders Odden
Anders Odden (born 20 December 1972) is a Norwegian musician. Odden is the co-founder and guitarist of the 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 been a member of synth-pop band Apoptygma Berzerk, a 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. 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. In 1988, he founded one of Norway's first – and, by 2026, still going strong – death metal bands, Cadaver.
