Biography:
Olympos Mons was formed in a small finnish town in 2002 by guitarist Jari Sundström and singer Ian E. Highhill. After many years both playing in various bands (sometimes even in the same band) with mostly cover songs they got fed up and decided to fulfill their dream and create a powerful melodic metal band that (with their own words) "would make history".
The decision was made in february 2002 when the two of them met after a gig Jari was playing. Already after a "few drinks" they knew they shared the same passion for symphonic/ progressive metal music and wanted to do something of their own.The result was Olympos Mons a project so good that it even surprised themselves. Every song seemed to come out strong and vital with a honesty you can´t miss.The music is based on strong melodies with a strong vocal supported by brilliant arrangements and guitar playing.
Filling their songs with romantic tales that takes you straight to the land of metal magic and with heavy riffs that brings out the mystic atmosphere to it. Jari and Ian have created both musically and lyrically a very own more romantic side to metal music.The demo CD: "Seven seas" prooves that these guys won´t let nothing stand in their way. It has already gained a lot of interest and curiosity amongst power metal fans and record companies all over Europe, Japan, Australia and U.S.A.
With the forthcoming debut album Conquistador , Olympos Mons is thundering headlong into its promising future...
