…be more specific stories yours truly has yet to read. Overall, 2023 has not seen nearly enough strong power metal releases, but it’s clear Walk with Titans has a breakout record on their hands with Olympian Dystopia. Fans of power metal in the vein of Rhapsody of Fire, Angra, Twilight Force, Freedom Call, and yes, Stratovarius, will not be disappointed with this offering. These Canadians know their Greek mythology and they are definitely one to k…

…y were hoping, the “Crimson Thunder Medley” was on the setlist; flawlessly combining “Riders of the Storm,” “Hero’s Return,” “On the Edge of Honour,” and “Crimson Thunder” into a roughly five-and-a-half minute masterpiece. Coming towards the end of the set, Cans had a fun crowd interaction when asking the crowd “what do you say, if I say ‘let the hammer…’” to which there were a couple shouts of “fall” but not nearly as many as you’d hope. Cans rep…

My wife Katherine comes in, comes up with the name Archon Angel, making it about a second century religion, the only way for people of Earth to talk to the higher divinities. This winged image of a man that could do superhuman things – which is on our first album cover. The stories would be encompassed in the individual songs that Archon Angel has – chapters in his life. That was a good star…
