Onward To Olympas – This World Is Not My Home


Onward To Olympas is a new metalcore outfit out of Charlotte, North Carolina. While you’d be hard-pressed to find anything new on “This World Is Not My Home”, they are actually doing a pretty solid number in terms of songwriting. They have no problem keeping me interested throughout the different songs by inserting heavyass breakdowns and melodic and even more atmospheric parts in all the right places with each of the players doing exactly what is expected of them. Couple of nice solos, great shredding, gang vocals and a drummer who knows his way around his drum kit all help. And yes, I was a sucker for the female guest vocals by Carson’s Taisha Beathea helping out in the title track.

One thing that does slightly bug me are the cookie monster vocals which are a little over the top. Other than that this is a solid offering in between all the average metalcore releases.
Score: 7 out of 10
