Jay Ball shares the story behind his metal project Gospels of Odin, a creative outlet that evolved into a powerful father-son collaboration when his 15-year-old son Levi revealed unexpected vocal talents. The project has gathered nearly 9,000 streams in just four weeks since release, demonstrating how digital platforms have revolutionized music distribution.
• Founded Gospels of Odin about 18 months ago after 40 years in the music industry
• Established the J Ball Guitar Academy in 1994 to share his musical knowledge
• Grew up during the British wave of heavy metal, drawing influence from Motorhead, Tags of Pantang, and Def Leppard
• Handles multiple instruments, production, mixing, and video creation for the project
• Discovered his son Levi's hidden vocal talents when the teen recorded vocals for "Bone Crusher"
• Shoots professional-quality music videos using drones in the scenic Derbyshire Dales
• Draws inspiration from Viking mythology and horror films for thematic elements
• Currently has 28 additional songs ready for potential future albums
• Considering forming a full band for live performances in the future
Keep it metal, keep it real. Just write from the heart, and people are always going to love it, they're always going to accept it, they're always going to want it, and people are always going to talk about it.
