Hailing from Cleveland, OH, Olathia (oh-lay-thee-ah) is a four-piece Heavy Metal band.
The music is a blend of traditional Heavy Metal, Power Metal, and Thrash influences, creating a melodic and powerful sound.
Often described as ‘Power Thrash‘, they meld together catchy melodies, heart stopping rhythms and bone crunching chords while telling stories of dark and light themes.
A crowd Favorite in Cleveland and named a band to watch by Scene Magazine,
Olathia embodies the heart and passion that defined 1980s Heavy Metal, while pushing the genre’s boundaries into exciting new territories by blending classic influences from both sides of the Atlantic.
They draw inspiration from iconic acts such as Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, Exodus, Pantera, Heart, Sinergy, Warlock, and Dio.
But what makes them stand out like a blazing comet in this wild rock-and-roll universe?
It’s their fearless frontwoman, Chris E.
Her voice, a molten fusion of strength and finesse.
She capturing the emotional essence of their songs while also letting the raw power hurt so good.
But hold onto your leather jackets, because the rest of this crew isn’t here to play nice.
Bassist, Terry ‘Bull‘ Johnson, lays down thunderous grooves while unleashes a menacing vocal barrage.
Miss his stage antics, and you’ll regret it for life.
Drummer, Joe Lowry, the mastermind behind the kit, with beats that are precision incarnate, each strike packing enough punch to propel you into another dimension.
Venturing further into the lineup, guitar virtuoso, Dylan Andras, is armed with lightning-quick fingers.
He doesn’t just play riffs;
he hammers them into your brain, and when those solos start, prepare to be incinerated in a firestorm of shredding madness.
When Olathia hits the stage, it’s not just a concert;
it’s a damn rock-and-roll revolution…
