Olympus

Knowing it Shall Wake

Self-released

2026

 

Essex-based melodic death metallers Olympus unleash their ferocious debut EP ‘Knowing it Shall Wake’, out 24th April [self-released]. With this being their debut, I was excited to dive into and give it a listen! It’s such a treat!

 

I am blown away. Olympus stands to be the next beautifully melodic band in the scene. The musicality is next level, the vocals are insane, the lyrics are poetic. Honestly, I’m sad that it’s an EP and not an LP because I wanted more.

 

It’s hard to pick a standout song on this album, mostly because there’s no skips. It’s solid from start to finish. I have to say though, I think Revenant stuck to me. It’s heavy, epic and raw.

 

If you enjoy your death metal with a dash of poetry and perfect music, dive into Olympus and give them a listen
