sachavonkarl74 thumbnail
sachavonkarl74 Sophomore album by Cleveland-based Power Metal band Olathia! A true gem of 2019, likely overlooked by too many, and really deserves to be re-discovered if anything. Trad HM with a hint of thrash, but most power metal and very catchy melodies and a gorgeous female voice on top. A very good mix of old-school power metal with more modern prog elements, and radio-ready headbangers (RoTog, Isolation, Black Widow and American Dream. Favorite track: Martyr.

In deep shadows where the bitterness bites. Darkness covers all, no battle for the light. No escaping, no reason to explain. You’re not in exile, you’re the one to blame. Snake Charmer, originator of sin. Yes, your Godliness drew the evil within. Raise and slaughter the lamb. Lay it on the altar with your righteous hand. Snake Charmer, you’ll burn, burn in the end. 
 The witch hunt lasted for days, drawn out by clever mindful ways. Your trickery, would soon be found. Plotted and planned, yet the sleight of hand. Never touched the heart of a real man. The only thing you feel is cold, magnetic, steel! Snake Charmer, originator of sin. Yes, your Godliness drew the evil within. 
 Raise and slaughter the lamb. Lay it on the altar with your righteous hand. Snake Charmer, you’ll burn in the end. Did you captivate your needs or lock away the hand that feeds? Do you belong or are you wrong? Did you know it’s all just rock n’ roll? You gotta feel it in your soul.
 Don’t even think just let the rage explode! Snake Charmer, originator of sin. Yes, your Godliness drew the evil within. Raise and slaughter the lamb. Lay it on the altar with your righteous hand. Snake Charmer, you’ll burn, you’ll burn in the end. 
 You’ll burn in the end. Will you ever shed your skin or will you slither around again? Will you ever, will you ever, shed your skin? Snake Charmer, originator of sin. Yes, your Godliness drew the evil within. 
 Raise and slaughter the lamb. Lay it on the altar with your righteous hand. Snake Charmer, you’ll burn in the end. You’ll do it again, you’ll do it again. 
 Raise and slaughter the lamb. Lay it on the altar with your righteous hand. Snake Charmer, you’ll burn in the end.

Martyr 04:46
Ignorance, experience, has not lessened the strain of your vain. Pretentious, card board cutout, a facade of self-assertive. High and mighty shame. Don’t care what you’ve seen. Don’t care who you know. Don’t care where you’ve been. You’re just a piece of shit, a piece of shit til the end. Where you’ve seen, who cares. Who you know, you swear. Where you’ve been, I don’t see, how that concerns me. Come down off your steed, show me where you bleed. I don’t believe the wounds that you see. Walking shaky ground, hold tight to the crown. You’re the martyr of the meek. Violence, intelligence, does not erase your narcissistic ways. Contentious, cold blood killer, plain stick figure, ego driven selfish claim to fame. Don’t care what you’ve seen. Don’t care who you know. Don’t care where you’ve been. You’re just a piece of shit, a piece of shit til the end. Where you’ve seen, who cares. Who you know, you swear. Where you’ve been, I don’t see, how that concerns me. Come down off your steed, show me where you bleed. I don’t believe the wounds that you see. Walking shaky ground, hold tight to the crown. You’re the martyr of the meek. You once stood now you fall. I see your backs against the wall. I’ve heard you cry, I’ve seen you shun always on the lookout for number one. You, you’re nothing but hate. You, I can’t relate. You, it’s the mindset that you self-create. You, you’re nothing but hate. You, I can’t relate. You, it’s the mindset that you self-create. A phoenix rises to the sun, you carry on, you carry on. Bury your head in the sand. Where’s your strength, you’re not a man. Come down off your steed. Show me where you bleed. I don’t believe the wounds that you see. Walking shaky ground, hold tight to the crown. You’re the martyr of the meek.

Isolation 05:48
The Isolation Chamber. Nothing inside. 
Floating in the darkness. Sheltered from my eyes. No air, no sun, no moon, no reverence. Just the hand of doom.
Blistering and cracked alive. Tension builds when sleep deprived. Will you soothe yourself by bleeding lies? In your fevered dreams are you swatting flies? Bleeding lies... The war within is not with me. It's your struggle to not believe. Push the child and knock him down. Teach him how to touch the ground. No air, no sun, no moon, no reverence. Just the hand of doom. Judge and jury reveal their pride. Abstract words are sanctified. Will you soothe yourself by bleeding lies? In your fevered dreams are you swatting flies? Bleeding lies... Send me your anger, I'll swallow it whole. Suffer with the scorn that you now own. Did you build your cage, out of fools gold? Did you find the key to finally being known? Why did you ever come to me? I could never give you what you seek. You should know that you reap what you sow. You're just as good as the word that you keep. Send me your anger, I'll swallow it whole. Suffer with the scorn that you now own. Did you clear the stage, so you'd have control? No one to answer, no hand to hold. Try to look inside yourself. Will the machine ever know what a heart can truly hold. You didn't fail, you didn't fail me in the end, you failed yourself. 
When you became your only friend. Send me your anger. I'll swallow it whole. Suffer, suffer with the scorn that you now own. Am, I, the, Antichrist? You believe want you want to perceive. You perceived the death of me. 
Just look upon my face, in your final resting place. For the memory of me is still engraved, it never fades, it never fades. 
For the memory of me is still engraved, it never fades, it never fades. Nothing inside, the Isolation Chamber is where you hide.

Victory 04:27
Soak in the shattered sun as darkness reigns. A small victory that pains will pull you through. Did you know I’ve been there too? Did you feel like no one knew what cancered you? Your silent cries? I hurt. I lied to myself. I thought I’d die. I was the only fool I knew. That’s so untrue. Victory, I fight for me. My destiny is not foreseen to me. I will choose what I lose. Pick up the broken glass. The cuts will heal. Regrets will pass and time continues on. The wall above reached to the sky. How would I survive to make the climb? Drown in my mind. I hurt, I lied to myself. I thought I’d die.. I was the only fool I knew. That’s so untre. Victory, I fight for me. My destiny is not foreseen to me. I will choose what I lose. I fight! I fight! I fight! I fight! I fight! I fight! I fight! I’ve got the fight. I got the fire in me today. I’ve tasted all the pain and more is on the way. I am, I am what you see. I’ve got the fight. I’ve got the fire in me today. I’ve tasted all the pain and more is on the way. I am, I am what I want to be. No longer the weakest one. Nothing done that I want undone. There’s no wind in my back. I won’t turn away. Stand tall and help the fallen ones. To become is where I’m from. I remember the day when I was no longer afraid. I am what you see. I am the Victory. I am my victory. I hurt, I lied to myself. I thought I’d die. I was the only fool I knew, that’s so untrue. Victory, I fight for me. My destiny is not foreseen to me. I will choose what I lose. I fight, I fight, I fight. My victory, my victory

Black Widow 04:31
Wrap the web around your wrist. Don’t struggle, don’t try to resist. Lick the blade and 
pierce the skin, 
the venom’s penetrating 
in. Don’t move I’ll be there soon, let the numbness comfort you. Do you long for all of me, my finger’s creep and crawl, you’ll see. 
Isn’t this where you 
want to be? Are you sure you want to play with me? Are you comfortable my dear? I smell your 
fear! I am the queen, the Black Widow in your dream. I am the queen, obey, so I can feed, I feed, I feed. Curse the gods that know your name. Love the darkness, lust the pain. 
No repent, no compromise. The devil here wears no disguise. Isn’t this where you want to be? Are you sure you want to play with me? Do I make you shake inside? I suck your life! I am the queen, the Black Widow in your dream. I am the queen, obey, so I can feed, I feed, I feed. I’ve been summoned, you opened the gate. There’s no return, you can’t escape. Imagination is a wicked place, desires’ the birth of unpredictable taste. Rip your flesh to shreds, uncover the truth and left for dead. Sweet suffering of the prey. Garden of Eden, begging for more. 
Kill the king and settle the score. Sweet suffering of the prey. Ahh, there’'s so many lonely creatures. I am the queen, the Black Widow in your dream. I am the queen, obey, so I can. I am the queen, the Black Widow in your dream. I am the queen, obey, obey me.

RoTog 04:21
I, I am the law. I am the idol standing overall. I am Medusa. You cannot turn away. The snakes, they beckon you to stay. I fall the hardest, you shudder in my wake. I take no prisoners and I make no mistakes. You, you're filthy and you lie. It’s so transparent, branded on your hide. 
Yet you survive... Maggot flesh and rotting teeth of gold. Cryptic fairy tale, retold. Maggot flesh and rotting teeth of gold. Intruder’s at the door. I let you howl. I watched the vultures circling the fowl. A frozen statue, carved as if to pray. 
When will it crumble in decay? 
Screams... 
You scream to feel alive. There’s nothing real. A daydream in disguise. LIES! You’ve told them all before. Repeated stories, til blood spills on the floor. 
Yet you survive... Maggot flesh and rotting teeth of gold. Cryptic fairy tale, retold. Maggot flesh and rotting teeth of gold. Intruder’s in our fold. I’d lick your wounds, just to make them clean. Then shove the salt way down inside. (x2) Maggot flesh and rotting teeth of gold. Cryptic fairy tale, retold. Maggot flesh and rotting teeth of gold. Intruder’s turned to stone. I, I am the law. I am the idol that’s standing over all.

Torn Apart 03:01
Woke up to another shit storm exploding in my head. Is there hope for resurrection from how you left me for dead? It’s done, the shroud of trust is tattered and thrown away. I’m moving on to a higher ground and I’ll carry the deep regret. Of choosing you with no follow through. Tore Apart what fell apart. Now I hate you on command. Never could you rise above. You smash me to the ground again and again. 3. Welcome to the raging nightmare playing in my mind. Do I dare, cross the boundary and step outside your line? It’s done, there’s nothing left, crumpled and tossed away. I’m moving on to another place and I’m packing the deep regret. Of choosing you with no follow through. Tore Apart what fell apart. Now I hate you on command. Never could you rise above. You smash me to the ground again and again. You wrecked my mind. You trashed my bed. You delivered a silent stare. Would it kill you, could you just pretend that you ever cared? No, I don’t want to be your friend til the end. No, I don’t want to touch your outstretched hand again. Tore Apart what fell apart. Now I hate you on command. Never could you rise above. You smash me to the ground again and again. You wrecked my mind. You trashed my bed. You delivered a silent stare. Would it kill you, could you just pretend that you ever cared?

My country, ‘tis of thee Red, white, and blue, it bleeds from me Look from the river unto the land Stunning lady with a torch in hand She beckons, come to me Give me your tired, the poor, the hungry Welcome you with open arms, chains no longer on Halo sets you free, liberty Living the American, the American dream Huddled in masses trying to breath American, the American dream Masterpiece in front of me Beacon of hope, blind beauty sees Enduring of the human right I’ll prove my worth in strength and fight Is this a peaceful land, void of sickness and an iron hand Step softly to the ground, weights no longer on Halo sets you free, liberty Living the American, the American dream Huddled in masses trying to breath American, the American dream We the people of the land United forces made of different hands I stand with my brother side by side We’ll fight for country ‘til the day we die Freedom is never free, life has been sacrificed with dignity Honor those who’ve fallen down Pray for those who carry on

rom the reign I’ve built. Of shame and guilt. I go back and take a look, yeah. At myself and I. I have done so far. At the bridge she’s lying. Waiting ‘til light, yeah. No choice to go. Back where she said she was. You’re okay. You’re okay to come in now, yeah. Are you here to save me? Going down I walk my way ‘til now. Deep to the obscurity. Obliterating you in every way with my life’s insanity. Huh, batter up again. I’m going right inside. Curled up on the floor, yeah. 
Wonder ways to, kill the pain, and what doesn’t kill you only makes you pissed off! Sweep back, to kill. You can’t make it go away, no. So let’s, let’s take a shot at me. ‘Cause when you punch me, I bleed. Going down I walk my way ‘til now. Deep to the obscurity. Obliterating you in every way with my life’s insanity. No choice to go. Back where she said she was.
You’re okay. You’re okay to come in now, yeah. Will you come and save me? Going down I walk my way ‘til now. Deep to the obscurity. Obliterating you in every way with my life’s insanity. Going down I walk my way ‘til now. Deep to the obscurity. Obliterating you in
