Sounds pretty Iron Butterfly to me but I am unable to judge from a few seconds of music.

This is what I could find on YouTube:





Doesn't sound very convincing to me, but they were added in Prog-Metal on MMA (ConfusedConfused), so there must be something... Oh I see... They imported the entire Odyssey entry from last.fm, with all the 14 bands sharing this name, because they wanted to add the modern Swedish extreme metal Odyssey LOL and someone added the album of the early US band LOLLOL

Odyssey was an American late 60'-early 70' proto-progressive/psych band. They recorded only one album "Setting Forth " in 1969 (some sources says it's from 1971). Their style remind me The Doors, Valhalla (already on PA), Ford Theatre, Vanilla Fudge and 1st album of Birt Control. Lots of organ solos and fuzzed guitars. Hidden gem!
 
Louis Yovino (vocals), Dennis Pennaga (guitar), Ray Lesch (bass), John Willems (percussion), Vincent E. Kusy (Hammond organ)
