sachavonkarl74 Third full-length release from Cleveland-based Power metal powerhouse Olathia. Groovier than "Snake Charmer", but heavier production feels right, a bit thrashier too IMHO, and those vocals by lady singer Chris, very powerful!!! The title track is a fast-paced thrash piece that sticks, and so is "...Devil", both neck-wrecking relentless thrust and non-stop fun! Shotgun is a mid-tempo track with amazing guitar solo. Overall a very catchy mix of power-thrash that sounds fresh and innovative, Favorite track: Satan on My Mind.

Incredible job! Savatage worship to close it out adds to the awesomeness! Favorite track: Insatiable.

Insatiable 03:36
Insatiable he breeds, a drop into the sea Purify what’s born alive intoxicating feeling deep inside, what does he hide A blind man swallows flies a shut mouth never tells any lies, who is justified Insatiable he breeds, a drop into the sea, a man is planting weeds, corrosive common needs Flesh is foul like acid rain no taste be still enjoy what you crave, do not be afraid Nothing more and nothing less it’s not a mess if no one plays the game, the hunger pains, can you feel the hunger pains Insatiable he breeds, a drop into the sea, a man is planting weeds, corrosive common needs Do not talk, you will be killed Do not talk, you will be killed Do not talk, you will be killed Do not talk, you will be killed Insatiable he breeds, a drop into the sea, a man is planting weeds, corrosive common needs Insatiable, Insatiable, Insatiable, Insatiable

I saw the Forest Witch, she walked the trail of stone and at the bridge she was beaten bound and left alone I was in a ditch, then came the Forest Witch, she brought me back from death and now we walk the forest path The Forest Witch she carries me, I don’t know what I believe The Forest Witch is haunting me, take me back to misery As I walked through the trees, the past it called to me, it begged of my return to giant groves of hollow trees Swarms then filled my mind, frozen and trapped in time, each move my body made it ached so hard yet I forgave The Forest Witch she carries me, I don’t know what I believe The Forest Witch is haunting me, take me back to misery Temptation is damnation, the devil smiles and you’re on your knees Damnation, is my salvation, no longer will I wander among the trees Silver trails and a tongue with a thousand teeth, burrowed down where the darkness seeks Echoes call and the fireflies start to sleep, hurry back to the place that you need Cut branches reached for me, sharp thorns they sting and bleed As revelation dawned, deep in the forest I grew strong I took so many steps, on rocks I rest and wept Cold water cleansed my wounds, I heard the call of wailing loons I am the Forest Witch, I am the Forest Witch, I am the Forest Witch, I have become the spell is done and when I see you coming down the road, look out, you will end up in the ditch

Last Breath 08:01
Unholy deity, omnipotent child God of divinity, cleansed by waters of the Nile Summon the slaves from the grave Command is heresy Bring forth the army of decay to change the course and time of history Death she is approaching me, complete monstrosity, and a shadow covers the sky The moon whispers to me, the gods will set you free. My son, it’s not your time to die And as I close my eyes, the last breath in is finalized with prying eyes they shut the lid and now, I am reborn I walk among the land and hold the heavens in my hands I am reborn Unholy deity, omnipotent child God of divinity, cleansed by waters of the Nile Death, she has empowered me, opened the gates to see and now I am a god. King of Eternity, wrapped in linens and reed. All bow, in piety I rise And as you close your eyes, the last breath in is terrified with crying eyes they shut the lid and now, the dark takes hold, Book of the Dead is closed, no scale can weigh your heavy soul. I am reborn I am reborn I sail into the stars, Osiris by my side, into the afterlife, my soul my soul survives I sail into the stars, Osiris by my side, into the afterlife, my soul my soul survives

Hey, no one invited you here there’s nothing left to see Am I perfectly clear Hey, why don’t you turn around you can’t linger here I’m not the lost and found Watchful eyes they pierce the night, searching for souls to excite Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is near The Devil stood and looked me in the eye, and he saw that I have no fear. Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is here, The Devil thinks he’s got the only game, then I whispered in his ear Hey, I heard the echoes cry, as I walked though fire and the embers sighed Hey, did you hear what I said, I’m a raging dark horse, I won’t end up dead Haunting eyes they pierce the night, searching for souls to ignite Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is near The Devil stood and looked me in the eye, and he saw that I have no fear Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is here The Devil thinks he’s got the only game, then I whispered in his ear I don’t want your pity and I’m not your prey, I just want for you, to go your own way The devils song a haunting flow, watchful eyes as he listens close For a call to drown in the dark, he lends his hand but not his heart Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is near, The Devil stood and looked me in the eye, and he saw that I have no fear. Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is here, The Devil thinks he’s got the only game, then I whispered in his ear The devils song a haunting flow, watchful eyes as he listens close For a call to drown in the dark, he lends his hand rip out your heart

Far, away, In a land caught between time and space Where the books of life lay, we fear, this castle of stone The mountain king roams all alone in here, but he's not the only one Lost inside, forever hidden from the sun Madness reigns In the Hall of the Mountain King His deep, dark eyes, keep watch on his kingdom And the mysteries that sleep safe inside His hall, his towers of stone, shall not be overthrown For eternity, It is guarded by the king His sadness healed, with the power that it brings Madness reigns In the Hall of the Mountain King In the Hall of the Mountain King What I say to the world, no Come with me, stay close by my side As the darkness of night closes in Don't fear, In a thundering roar When the Mountain King calls all his children home To where I hid him we must run Refuge here, for those forever on the run Madness reigns, my friends, In the Hall of the Mountain King In the Hall of the Mountain King, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

about

"In our latest album, "The Forest Witch," we weave tales of light and darkness, riding the line between thrash and traditional metal. We're staying true to our roots and doing what feels right to us, weaving in the battles we’ve faced and the good time that rage on. Riffs, melodies and lyrics burrow down deep. Let ‘em in and see where they take you."
Chris E., Olathia
