Onward To Olympas
I was on Facedown Records' website and I discovered this band Onward to Olympas and the first song I listened to was "From The Mouth" and right away I fell in love. There is this awesome part that just touches my heart and it just an awesome song. They sound similar to August Burns Red Vocal-wise but also with a We Came As Romans sound too. The songs don't have too much difference which people tend to hate but you know if it's a good sound then whats the problem? I'm all for the talent that shows in individual songs but this band isn't talentless they just need more change in sounds. They have some clear vocal as well but it isn't the best vocal I've heard. The songs are very fast paced and are in need of some good breakdowns but I'm still a fan. They have some guitar solos similar to Oh, Sleeper. Their songs are overall good but defiantly could use some work. From Facedown Records website I see they have only been around for little over a year now and have two albums, I think that's kind of crazy to have two albums already because it takes a while to make a full length album, maybe they whipped through it all and that's why it doesn't sound so great. Don't get me wrong I'm not hating on this band the song The War Within Us has a beautiful sound in the begging, normally people wouldn't call it beautiful, maybe intense but again screamo is beautiful to me so I'm different that way. I tend to see beauty and art in this genera but people tend to misconceive it as anger and "emo" but there are bands out there who put a new meaning on this genera that makes me cherish it as an art of the intensity in our souls coming through, also it attracts an audience of people who need to hear it. Well this is getting a little off topic but the main point of this post was to say go listen to Onward To Olympas! The Songs on my playlist are different than the ones on their facebook. I think, but I'm not sure yet, That their facebook songs have a different vocalist than the ones you will find on my playlist. To my opinion the songs on my playlist are better. The description of their sound I wrote above are about the songs: From The Mouth, Structures, The War Within Us, Unstoppable, and Sink or Swim. The ones on my playlist are awesome, they do have differentiation between songs, the vocal is similar to We Butter The Bread With Butter. I am more a fan of the ones you will find on my playlist rather than the ones on their Facebook. I want to find out which ones are more recent I'm guessing the facebook ones are, just because Facebook is regularly up to date but I want to find out if there was a line up change because I really can hear a difference, let me know if you do too. Oh and comment if you know any of these facts I'm wondering about.
