Onward To Olympas – This Is Not My World
Onward To Olympas – This Is Not My World CD (Facedown)
This is a totally fresh approach to the old metalcore genre. Onward To Olympus are the heaviest of bands, with blastbeats and parts you can mosh your brains out, but also have songs that are totally old school hardcore, played as though it were metal. I had my doubts after the first two spins, but it really seems to be working as the songs are growing on me and interesting bits keep on popping up with every play. Although loads different things seem to be happening simultaneously the songs,, and here it comes; do NOT fall apart. The singer / guitarist even points this out on the artwork, and he’s absolutely right. Personally I like a different approach to the grunting / growling, but when a six foot bear is in your face you’re not going to complain about the noise he makes, are you? A fierce and dangerous record. Martijn Welzen
