Oddko

ODDKO is the animal within - the wild beast longing to break free of society's cage. Giovanni Bucci, Dutch-Italian singer, guitarist, songwriter, and video director, shaped ODDKO as an independent force of industrial and alternative metal, viewed through a filmic perspective into what he calls cinematic metal. Gio’s obsession is bending music, film, and design into one creation, all his vision, no label, no manager. ODDKO’s videos are art films, months in the making, winning awards and millions of views while exposing consumerism and blind obedience. Directed, edited, and VFX’d by Gio himself driving music, visuals, design, and merch with a few close collaborators. On Spotify you see half of the beast; the rest is on YouTube. ODDKO stands alone, but not isolated. Its vision has drawn allies like Francesco Paoli (Fleshgod Apocalypse) on drums, with remixes from Orgy, Gothminister, Zardonic, and Aesthetic Perfection. Raised on his family’s organic farm in Italy without privilege or shortcuts, Gio studied in Rome before moving abroad to London and Los Angeles. ODDKO is a world built from the ground up. Part of why ODDKO looks so cinematic comes from Gio’s path directing Korn music videos and shaping visuals for films like Star Trek, RoboCop, and Terminator, and projects for Netflix and MTV. The recognition followed, Rolling Stone spotlighted his work for Korn, while Revolver, Metal Hammer, Loudwire, and Metal Injection praised ODDKO for merging sound and vision.
