This is out for couple of months now, but it doesn’t matter, it deserves to grace the pages of this zine. Olympus are hailing from Esssex, UK and as far as I know, this is their first e.p. containing four songs. Olympus play melodic death metal with quite an energy and superb melodic parts in the overall more aggressive song structures. The record starts slowly and atmospherically, but quickly evolves into beautiful melodies, aggressive growling vocals and lyrics that evolve around theme of cosmic horror, at least I understood them that way, kinda Lovecraftian vibe comes to mind while listening to this one. Instrumental intro titled as the e.p. is shorter one bordering a little over three minutes, but other three songs are longer, more epic and I enjoyed Emperor and Out Of Reach, also Revenant quite a lot. If you are into quality melodic death metal with epic song structures this one is really a gem for you. I can’t wait for the full length album. This is a strong debut release.
