Presenting epic power metal with a twist of Greek Mythology, Montreal, Canada’s Walk With Titans will be releasing their debut album “Olympian Dystopia” on May 26th, 2023 via Rockshots Records.
Today, the band shares the album’s opening track and second single ‘Herakles’. It’s a track about the Greek Hero and is a straightforward metal hymn in which Walk With Titans channel their inner Manowar.
The video can be watched below.
Efficient, epic, well executed, heavy, and mythical, this is what power metal fans will discover during 50 minutes of “Olympian Dystopia” brought forth by Nikko Cyr (drums), Nick Maugy (rhythm guitar), Louis Jacques (lead guitar) (ex-Blackguard), Lydz Grondin (bass), and Jonathan Vézina (vocals & orchestrations).
”We wanted to make a straightforward power metal album without compromising the epic side. I think listeners will realize that and enjoy it. We made this album during the pandemic and it kept us sane, we hope fans will find the same joy in listening to it as we had to make it! We bring some ancient Greek Myths to the forefront like Eurydice and Herakles, while others are more subtle like ‘Edge of Time’, which is Khronos representing time eating us all. Other tracks on the record we made as an analogy for societal issues.” adds guitarist Louis Jacques.
