Over the Distance

Over the Distance (often abbreviated OTD) is a melodic metal / rock band from Linköping, Sweden.

Band Biography
The band was founded in early 2008 by keyboardist Aki Nordenhager and guitarist Viktor Johansson. They invited Viktor's twin brother Petter as a drummer, and Aki's friend Saga Forslind as their female vocalist. In March the same year, Hannes Berg Wiklund joined the band to play bass.

In February, 2008, OTD decided to cover Nightwish's 1997 song "Beauty and the Beast", Iron Maiden's "The Clansman", and a jazz version of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water". After this, they will start in the producing of own songs.
