Olympos Mons

This Finnish band formed back to 2002, initially just the duo of singer a proper band and recording two albums. This is textbook Euro power metal with a few progressive and symphonic touches here and there, it's clear these guys are influenced by the usual bands like early Helloween and such. It's all pretty familiar ground, though to their credit the production is tight and the musicianship is spot-on. Scandinavian power metal hasn't been an original proposition in years, and Olympos Mons was basically one in a crowd -- certainly better than competent musicians, but a band for the (many) power metal completists only.
