UK melodic death metallers Olympus have just released their new EP ‘L’appel Du Vide‘ independently on November 6th. The title is French for “call of the void”.
“With L’Appel du Vide, we wanted to dive straight into the heaviest, darkest parts of the human mind, but more importantly, show the way out. This Friday isn’t just about dropping three intense, crushing tracks—it’s about sharing a piece of our collective survival, finding hope in the noise, and finally letting these songs breathe with all of you.” – Olympus
Hailing from Essex, UK, Olympus are a five-piece melodic death metal band, combining the intensity and aggression of traditional death metal with modern melodic elements.
